Hoodoo for Everyone: Modern Approaches to Magic, Conjure, Rootwork, and Liberation by Sherry Shone

Hoodoo for Everyone introduces Sherry Shone’s modern approach to conjure, rootwork, folklore and spiritual practice. It places Hoodoo’s history among enslaved African Americans in the American South at the center of the discussion.

Alongside spells, herbs, divination and ancestor work, Shone considers gender, religion and cultural appropriation. The book’s inclusive approach emphasizes respectful engagement with a living tradition; it should not be confused with an interchangeable guide to every African diasporic religion.
