PSA ‼️

The function of Hoodoo is not to be some “spiritual stepping stone” on your way to another ATR/DTR that you *think* is somehow “more legitimate”. Hoodoo in and of itself IS a full, complete, and sovereign religious practice, and while there are many Hoodoos like myself that are also initiated into other ATRs (cuz fuck what your heard, there are INDEED Hoodoo initiations), there are just as many Hoodoos that solely practice Hoodoo. And they are making just as much shit shake in these spiritual streets. Trust and believe me, we are putting RESPEK on Hoodoo, period 🤌🏿 And in case this needs to be restated: IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK, YOU CANNOT PRACTICE HOODOO 🗣

With that said…

Happy Hoodoo Heritage Month to all my:

Hood Hoodoos, Black Feminist Hoodoos, Womanist Hoodoos, Hiphop Hoodoos, AAV Hoodoos, Blues Hoodoos, Communalist Hoodoos, Abolitionist Hoodoos, ATR Hoodoos, BQT Hoodoos, Soul Hoodoos, Gullah Hoodoos, Maroon Hoodoos, Black Radical Traditionalist Hoodoos, and all Hoodoos doing The Work 🖤✨🧿

I know I have my own fundraiser going on but please share and donate to this as well, the Gullah/Geechee are dealing with the same thing as we area, as my friends are in Mexico and Puerto Rico and beyond.

“The Gullah/Geechee Nation is seeing an onslaught of disrespect to sacred grounds from the Carolinas to Florida as newcomers seek to build along waterways and in historic areas. As a result, native Gullah/Geechees are coming together to call on the world to stand with us to protect these sacred areas and to honor the ancestors and family that have been resting in these sacred spaces. To that end, we are calling on you to read this link, act, and share: https://gullahgeecheenation.com/2021/04/13/gullah-geechee-burial-area-desecration/ “

There’s a HUGE push to consume land to convert it into stylish suburbs, retreats and tourism locals to ‘enjoy nature’ by destroying it to make room for gentrified new colonizer towns. They’ve been popping up all over the south, and on top of the inherent damage this causes, you cannot imagine how sacred and necessary to homeostasis these swamps and Old Growth Oaks are.

Please keep the deep south & sub tropics of the americas on your mind bc the land is under siege here, too!

Y'all, a great way to celebrate Juneteenth and also support Black Lives is to donate to the Gullah Geechee Nation Land Legacy Fund. Help Afroindigenous people maintain their connections to their lands. Black people are Indigenous to the Americas too due to ethnogenesis from forced Diaspora.

Maintaining Black land ownership is also keeping land in the hands of Indigenous peoples.

Food for thought during this pandemic. We need to better establish alternatives ways to educate and how to provide the tools and resources necessary to get things done. ---------------------- #UrbanShaman #WearWolfApparel #BRKGNG #shamanism #Spiritual #meditation #manifestation #abundance #healing #loveyourself #lawofattraction #LOA #jaxigers #indigenous #BlackAndIndigenous #gullahgeechee #Seminole #afronative ------------------------ Reposted from @seedingsovereignty Alternatives to in-person classes are a life saving necessity for students and their families while our communities navigate Covid-19. ⁣ ⁣ The barriers that colonialism creates hinder student’s access to online courses.

' What they learned to speak is called Creole, and that’s a lot like throwing everything into a huge pot, blending it together and simmering it into a delicious soup served over rice. It was based on the English language, yes and it included bits and pieces from the French and Portuguese and all the other Europeans that the Africans had come in contact with, but the onions, the okra and the black pepper in it—the seasonings that gave it an exciting taste—came from African words, speech patterns and grammar. The customs and ways of their tribes were thrown into that pot too, and once the pot got stirred, everyone in the islands of African descent became known either as Geechee or Gullah. As to the labels “Geechee” and “Gullah”, there’s a line of thinking that they came from two neighboring tribes in West Africa--the Kissi, pronounced “Geezee”, who lived where the modern-day countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea converge; and the Gola, a tribe on the Sierra Leone-Liberia border. A lot of members from both of these tribes were brought to these islands, and while it has never been proven--the people who study such things will be arguing about it for years to come--it could very well be that what we were called stemmed from the two tribal names. It used to be said that black people on the Georgia Sea Islands were Geechee and those on the South Carolina islands were Gullah, but there were always people in areas like Charleston who called themselves Geechee. I think it just depended on the area you were from and what you preferred to be called.

…….Here on the Georgia islands, Saltwater Geechee was what we called ourselves, and black people who lived about thirty miles inland, around freshwater, were called freshwater Geechee. '
