Is Hoodoo a Closed Practice? Who Can Practice Hoodoo
An honest look at a question the Hoodoo community itself is still working out, and what Hoodoo initiation actually involves.
Azabache, also called Jet, is a unique wood that has been absorbing the Earth's energy and heat for millions of years and has since metamorphosed into a potent stone. It is believed that the energy contained within Jet can safeguard its wearer from different types of harm, such as danger, ill fortune, and illness. To ward off malevolent spirits and witchcraft, specific African tribes burn Jet to generate black smoke. The azabache hand is a safeguarding amulet worn by young children in various cultures.
