The Hoodoo Library is a growing collection of tutorials, traditional recipes, directories, and databases of information on everything from traditional Southern black belt hoodoo to modern urban rootwork. All content within the Library is created by and for black rootworkers, which means that all sources of information about hoodoo come from black rootworkers only. You can read more about the Library and how to get passcode access here.

FEBRUARY PASSCODE

I got busy and a bit behind on answering requests for Library access, so thank you for your patience! Now I’ve responded to all requests put in within the last week and sent the updated February passcode to everyone who was already approved. If you haven’t received a response from me or you’re subscribed but missing the Feb passcode, please try sending me a regular email at [email protected] or a message on Tumblr, and I’ll get back to you ASAP.
