✨18th Century Nkisi bundle found in Newport, Rhode Island

🌿Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you all this article of a historical example of African religion and spirituality in colonial New England. This is a 1700s religious Nkisi bundle more than likely owned by an enslaved African man named CARDADO WANTON who was trafficked to New England in the 18th century.

“A Nkisi Bundle Was Found in a Historic Newport Home - But What Is It, Exactly?”

💙 “In 2005, representatives of the Newport Historical Society working on the Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House found a bundle of items concealed beneath an attic floorboard.”

“The items, known collectively as an nkisi bundle, were likely owned by Cardardo Wanton and held spiritual significance for their owner, a man enslaved by the Wanton family in the late eighteenth century.”

“Nkisi (and its plural, minkisi) comes from a Bantu word loosely meaning ‘to take care’ and often includes buttons, nails, cowrie shells and other household items. They take the form of figures or bundles and played a role in connecting enslaved people of African descent with their ancestors. ‘It reminded them of their humanity in a world that told them constantly and consistently that they were not human,’ de Barros Gomes says.”

This along with other items are on display until 2026 as part of the “Entwined: Freedom, Sovereignty and the Sea,” at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut.

“Entwined: Freedom, Sovereignty and the Sea” is a major maritime exhibition centering maritime histories of Indigenous, African, and African-descended worldviews and experiences in New England.

In 2018, after a mental breakdown, I discovered herbalism. I was broke and had no job. I needed hair and body oil. I only had food stamps, and relizes I could use that to get things like coconut and avocado oil and dried herbs to make the oil I needed. That extended to teas, tinctures, body scrub and a various herbal steams.

In 2020, I started my apothecary, Lil Big Mama Self Care. It has replaced photography as my top girl. But I love them both. This apothecary was just what I needed after my plans to start my art studio fell thought due to covid.

I’m hoping to find community here like I have locally. I love learning about herbs and getting inspired by other herbalist and witches.

First update off the 2023 year, I decided to pierce my nose. I always one of my nose pierced since I was a teenager in high school and I was a couple years ago so now at the age of 21 I’m finally piercing my nose.  I feel more spiritually, connected to myself and my ancestors with my nose pierced. (If you can’t see what the color is, it’s a light pink.)

The video of me piercing my nose will be available soon, probably tonight or tomorrow!

Also, Happy Valentine’s Day and Black History Month!!!

I just had to repost this. As a spiritual practitioner, we are accustomed to seeing ourselves in the rough toil and sultry exchange of spirit, it's what we do. Rarely are we shown as fae, beautiful shy spirit creatures that are as old as many forest, fields, etc. they live. These are creatures of fantasy and beauty, now handed over to us to wonder. Thank you @sza #Repost @thecraftingcreative • • • • • • I’ll always love @sza for giving us Afro-Faerie representation. 🤣🙌🏾 They were so dang cute. 🌸🌺🧚🏾‍♀️ #crystalgrid #blackwitchesofinstagram #blackwitches #blackwitch #spirituality #spiritual #afrowitch #afrowitches #bruja #naturewitch #fae #faerie #witchymusic #stonerwitch #cannabismagic #cannabiswitch #witchyplaylist #blackfairy #fashionmagic #music #artist #musicmagic #singer #spotify #szasupermodel #playlist #magicplaylist #twitter #spirituality #spiritualawakening #soundbowlhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/B8JlH03FgJP/?igshid=1ln1aco6ijtc7

i’m black and i wanted to get into rootwork, and practice hoodoo. i’ve been doing research for a couple of weeks now but i haven’t found anything authentic on how i can get started practicing, do you have any advice on how i could start doing that?

Well, to begin with, there’s the Hoodoo Masterpost if you haven’t seen that yet!

Putting out authentic resources for black rootworkers is one of my biggest goals with this blog. I know several other black rootworkers on Tumblr who either actively write a lot of hoodoo content or who have written a lot in the past even if they aren’t super active anymore.

So I recommend looking through the posts on my resources page and going through my tags, then doing the same for the following hoodoo blogs:

@afrocentric-divination @witch-vomit @bitchcraftandfashion @lady-of-flowers  @helpfulblackwitch @woodlandangel @ohthewitchery @themixedwitch @hoodooyousee @unfriendlyblackwitch @thevoodoomama @afrosandathames

If you actively write about hoodoo/rootwork - either with original tutorials of your own or by boosting useful and reliable content - and you’re black, please feel free to reblog this for anon so they know they can follow you and use your blog as a resource also!! Sorry if we’re mutuals and I forgot to tag you

✨🔮There's So Many Spell Materials Right in Your Kitchen 💐🍓

🍓You don’t need to immediately jump right up to your local botanica, spiritual shop, or even digital marketplace in order to find ingredients for your spells. A lot of the time, if you’re not able to go outside to forage, you can open up your own pantry and find PLENTY of items for whatever kind of spell work you’re doing. Protection, love, money, cursing….you can find ingredients for anything you want to do in your spice cabinets, in your fridge, in your pantry!

🌷Things like cinnamon and coffee can be used to add speed or quickness in your work.

🌷Cinnamon is also great for protective work because of it's firey hot nature as well. You can use the whole bark or the powder in different ways. Do what works for you and what your spirits or traditions or ancestors suggest.

🌷Cinnamon is ALSO good for money work too! I fucking love cinnamon. It goes SO good with other things like allspice and nutmeg too for money.

🌷 Coffee in general is an ingredient I like to use in my m

🌷 Lemongrass used in tea can be very helpful for calming anxiety. Lemongrass can also be used for cleansings and breaking blocks.

🌷Cornstarch can be used as a base for all of your spiritual powders if you wish!

🌷Cloves are good for domination.

🌷Black pepper is protective, and is very useful in reversals/return to sender work.

🌷Flor de Jamaica/Hibiscus flower is really good for love/beauty work, especially passionate ones. It has a lot of vitamin c as well!

🌷Mint is so good for money work! I love sweet mint the most for this. It’s also good to drink as a tea for when you’re having stomach problems like tummy aches and gas. It’s very easy to grow fresh as well, and can be found for pretty cheap at grocery stores (pssst….if you have SNAP/EBT, you can find mint plants/hierba dulce in supermarkets and they’re SNAP eligible!)

🌷 Apples have also been associated with things like beauty and love, depending on who you’re talking to. The seeds would be very useful in love but alternatively dominating work, depending on what you’re going for. Just be careful!

🌷Onion & garlic skins can always be used for cleansing and protection (garlic for this) purposes in your space and home too

🌷Eggs can be used for offerings (but as always, double check that whoever will accept them!). they can also be used for cleansings as well, and are also used for protection.

🌷Dont forget the egg shells are useful for protection too! And you can use the eggshells as well to create calcium water for your plants, or crushed up so slugs cannot access your plants.

🌷White rum is so good for cleaning as well, so is white vinegar, but for the vinegar I personally think it's especially important to do something to bring sweetness and good things back into your space

🌷 You can literally use any of your kitchen oils to make your own conjure oils -- it doesn't matter if it's vegetable or jojoba or canola or soy or olive (although I PERSONALLY prefer to use olive as base for my money oils & work, as well as my protective work)

🌷Oregano is also good for money, for protection, for situations with court and the law

🌷Orange peels are great for happiness and money! They're also cleansing, so they're great for floor washes. You can boil them if you want to for washes and for a nice scent to the home. You can dry them to use in happiness or money powders or mixes (you can keep the peels whole or turn the dried peels into powder with a mortar and pestle, food processor, or by hand)

🌷 Lemon and limes can be used as strong spiritual cleansers too. I like to boil them and use the water for washes. They can also be used for other workings, especially when you need people to leave you alone and get away from you. You can prep them the same way you would do the orange peels!

🌷 Oats are good for your skin, especially if you have irritation, but are also really good offerings and has been associated with wealth as well.

Make sure at the end of the day you’re talking to your spirits, your ancestors, your intuition, and listen to what they tell you! They’ll always give you the best results, it’s never good to just do whatever the books tell you.
