Most people tend to use the terms “rootwork(er)”, conjur(er), “diviner” interchangeably (especially on the internet) but there are varied and distinct roles within Hoodoo and they do not all mean the same thing or serve the same function, though they may at times intersect.

It’s a New Moon. Ask your Ancestors what your role is, and listen for the answer.
