For Hoodoos that are depressed, mentally ill, Disabled, or chronically ill…

Something disturbing that’s been going around is people saying not to do things like cleansing and prosperity baths while you’re depressed, implying that depression will somehow pollute the working or render it ineffective. Not only is this take extremely ableist, but it’s just not true and quite frankly lacks common sense. If you’re feeling depressed, a spiritual bath will likely improve your mood and/or any circumstances causing you distress. Can extreme emotions sometimes cloud our ability to conjure effectively? Yes, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t . Calm down as much as you can and write down what you’re going to do. This will keep you on track as you put together your work/bath/candle etc. Take some deep breaths, divine, and proceed accordingly. Your depression will not “taint” the work. Remember our ancestors were dealing with some of the most dangerous and grotesque situations in human history. Many of them were likely depressed, scared, angry, feeling hopeless, and everything in between. But they still did the spiritual work they needed to do, and improved their lives using our African spiritual technologies. Being depressed, mentally or physically disabled, or chronically ill doesn’t make you any less of a spiritualist.
