#hudu

The first documentation of the word Hoodoo in the English language appeared in 1870.

Its origins are obscure but it's believed to originate as an alteration of the word voodoo – a word that has its origin in the Ewe and Fon languages of Ghana and Benin – referring to divinity.

The Akan word odu meaning medicine is also considered to be a possible etymological origin.

Another probable etymology is the Hausa word hu'du'ba which means resentment and retribution.

Another possible etymological origin of the word hoodoo comes from the word Hudu which comes from the Ewe language spoken in the West African countries of Ghana and Togo. The word Hudu means spirit work.

"-Bir insan haramdan sakınır ise, onun için ibadet ve taat kolaylaşır. İbadetin tadı olur."

In turn, spirits will often resort to much strongers ways in order to communicate with her. Lately she's been experiencing as if an entity as been grabbing her by the wrist, and is only calmed when she lights a candle. I suspect that this is an entity that wishes to be remembered or maybe communicate with her through the flames? But, I can't day for sure because I'm not well-versed on this subject at all. She says that it feels as if the entity loves the flames.

She's also been seeing angelic numbers, which she finally looked up the meaning for and it turns out that she's protected by someone within her family that has passed.

I think you’re assuming that because you have a different view on this topic that I’m very misinformed. I know exactly what you’re talking about, and I’m not confused with what I’ve been saying…

First of all, hoodoo isn’t African. It’s African American with its primary origins in African religious traditions and spirituality (more information on that here). 

Secondly, you mentioned the word Hudu, which is the name of a language and Ewe tribe in Togo and Ghana. Hudu is also the African word that the African American word “hoodoo” comes from. Other American traditions like hillfolk practices and Appalachian conjure should not be referred to as “hoodoo” even though it has been called that for a long time.

The word “hoodoo” only became used as another name for the European-based practices in Appalachia and for the hillfolk practices because they appropriated that term from the tradition of hoodoo, whose name is inherently an African-based name. So yes, there are other American traditions aside from hoodoo, but that doesn’t mean that it’s appropriate to call them “hoodoo.”

Courtney Alexander, founder of Dust II Onyx, has been reading tarot for years, and she’d always notice how hard it was to come by a deck featuring people of color -- never mind Black people. So, she sought to publish her very own deck called A Melanated Tarot.

“Dust II Onyx began as a tarot deck I created to address the lack of representation in the tarot world.”

Her Kickstarter has over 500 backers and now, she’s asking all her supporters to help her win the FedEx Small Business Grant Contest (ends 4/5/17).

The deck isn’t due to come out until Summer 2017, but until then, support Courtney by liking the Dust II Onyx facebook page and try to stay updated so when she does publish the cards, her fellow witches can add them to their divination toolset.

I know Dust II Onyx will go far! Ashe <3
