Hi there everyone! I know this a controversial topic, but what are your opinions on white people practicing hoodoo? From some, ive heard it is a closed practice and white people should not partake in the practice as it is not intended for them, to which I respect. From others, I’ve heard it is an open practice, and what created to help anyone who is oppressed, as that it was hoodoo is at its core. Although I do not claim to be a hoodoo practitioner, I have used hoodoo in my life before because it has helped me when I needed it most, and I study and respect the practice from an outsiders point of view. What are your opinions on this? Thank you, and blessed be! 🍃✨

I'm Latina and I practice. I think as long as they understand it's roots and purpose, and do not use it to be a higher than thou or pretend that it's something it's not. Then I can respect you. They must appreciate the hoodoo culture and people. The witch crafts have been a part of many backgrounds all over the world and has each their own roots. So if one is entering into Hoodoo, it is appreciated when others learn about it in its true essences and not corrupted it and if they choose the path, that they do it right and honor. Not to be cool. And don't they dare sit there and make hoodoo out to be some Harry Potter, white wash BS. I welcome my sister conjures, cause I come from a place of love and desire to encourage people to fight there own oppressions. I'm the type to encourage you to get back up. I'm more than happy to educate, but by all means people should be serious and not foolish when starting.
I’m of the belief that so long as they are not “culture vulturing” the knowledge presented to them as if this is a new discovery ( ie new age) that theyve found on their own but are giving credence to those way before them, then I’m down. There are many people of different denominations who knows for a fact that they have ancestry so that’s a factor too. Praying, petitions and manifesting is for everyone but it’s how it’s done that is a turn off. I’m just not for the “white washing” of all these spiritual knowledge from various cultures that white people bag up and presented as if they’ve known it all along. As if it’s a new thing. It’s not. It’s been done.
Well, That's something you have to find out. I honestly go by whatever the father is. Long story. But you do whatever you feel. You found Ms Lala's page so maybe you were called. 🤷🏾♀️
I think it’s okay there are Hispanics , Asians, and whites people in this forum who use lala products and practice hoodoo ... this post might receive some backlash even though I know you don’t mean any harm.
Every culture has their own practice and should call on their ancestors to help them.
