We talked to modern Hoodoo practitioners about cultural appropriation in witchcraft and keeping the African American slave folk magic alive.

During Hoodoo Heritage Month, we must recognize Zora Neale Hurston's important contributions to the hoodoo community. Hurston, a prominent figure, extensively researched and documented African American folklore, including hoodoo practices. Her influential works, like "Mules and Men" and "Hoodoo in America," reveal the cultural heritage and spiritual traditions of African Americans. #HoodooHeritageMonth #ZoraNealeHurston #hoodoo #AfricanAmericanFolklore
