CONJURATION LIVES
_This is a brief synopsis on what (AJA - IGBO TERM) better known as
*HOODOO*/Conjuration/Root-work is and where it came from and most of all
what's its not.
I was taught for 20 years or so, hands on
rootwork/conjure/divination along with morals dealing with Kongo
Hoodoo/African Conjure By Mrs. T who is 82 years old . She is my 2nd
mother, best friend and teacher. Hoodoo has made HER a dynamite WOMAN
who i respect greatly and i would give my life her as she would me. SHE
ONLY WENT TO THE 4TH GRADE AND THE KNOWLEDGE SHE POSSESSES IS
IMMENSE!!!
(Down to The Business)
There is no
course/classes for *HOODOO* , LESSONS YES AND PREFERABLY hands on field
work and learning AT THE FOOT OF A SUCCESSFUL PRACTITIONER as this
SCIENCE is correctly maintained respectfully by word of mouth and
supremely sacred to those who know! Most know no-thing concerning this
science and proceed in their ignorance to an abrupt DISASTROUS END.....
HOODOOS genuine practices are the foundation to success for a genuine
rootwork practitioner. I was recently approached by some seekers and
they have no clue as to the practice of this science, having their views
based on colorful illustrations that abound throughout the internet
and fake tepid scholars on the subject about *hoodoo*, who in great
practicality are charlatans, so im making this my duty to inform and
correct the blasphemies perpetrated against my ancestors.
AJA
is an IGBO/Dahomean term proper for hoodoo that originated in old world
Congo now modern day Nigeria/Dahomey. Something always has to be
covered to obscure the truth, bright is the truth indeed and it is not
tolerated in this society until now, so if no one sees a bit of the
light it remains hidden, to the few who were acquainted with it before
the covering its apparent, they know! There is nothing wrong with
assimilation but you should always know where something originated to
know where its going, true, to gain the full and proper
under/overstanding.
There was and still is a priesthood
associated with becoming a rootdoctor in Africa, the titles are Dibia
Ogwu - (rootworker) and Dibia AFA (diviner seerer) in Igboland. This
structure in Africa, which is said to be unheard of in America is
simple because americans don't know and haven't taken the time to find
out, also it would destroy the format here that has been designed so
well and put into place by the slave families (respect to the
Ancestors).
There is a great emphasis put on european
admixtures in some circles which is ill conceived. Indian admixtures
involving *hoodoo* i can attest to the Indian practices personally, my
great grandmother was a Cherokee rootwoman, she was a great sorceress,
seeer, snake charmer, weather witch, she could make people fall asleep
and I sure of other things as well.
The point im making is
that the folks ive learned from in Chicago, eastern Maryland, (here in
Virginia the bulk of my tenure), Fla, North Carolina, South Carolina,
& Tennessee have never showed me or talked about anything european
in direct relation to *hoodoo* so Im trying to determine where this is
substantiated because so many claim this, i think its flat out false, a
lie or after the 1920's & 30's.
To lend credence to
something completely alien is far fetched. The european grimiores in
relation to Conjuration ARE NOT THE FOUNDATION. *HOODOO* assimilated
other systems of magic buts that the extent of it. *HOODOO* gobbled
them up thus utilizing them in our own way of working down the line.
If something is not sacred to you, you tend to treat it as such, NOT
respecting it as someone who WOULD BE truly associated with IT and
practicing these sacred rites, furthermore this is the general consensus
among so called rootworkers in america, the way i see it nothing is
sacred anymore.
To explain the reason so many say rootwork is
not a religion, it was a part of a religion, because the place it came
from didn't have a king, every man was responsible for his family and
himself, his own KING. Dibia Agwu - (Rootworker) "King of the roots",
rootman , cunjureman, rootdoctor and titles such as mystery man /
Master of the world. These are the titles of a masterly level. This
proves the point about *hoodoo* is about self mastery and is governed
by you the worker. Ironically the same thing that freed us, now people want to take away or claim as their own!!!!
*Hoodoo* is the thing now, everyone and their friends, wants to know,
that's cool, but that's not what it's about and never was. These rites
were feared and to this day still folks will discourage you from doing
the sacred rites of our ancestors whose shoulders we stand upon. The
ancestors say set them all (those who want to know) straight once and
for all and it is done. Hoodoo has its roots and foundations in the Dahomey, Igbo, Ewe, Fon, Ashanti, Congo tribes exclusively.
1st There are principles in Conjure / Rootwork that are never spoken of, that make it WORK!!!. (*SILENCE IS GOLDEN*)
2nd This is a divine science from God strictly.
3rd Not just anyone or any fool as my teacher puts it can work this
science (period) regardless of what people say. This is why there are so
may fakes perpetrating a front and so few real practitioners nowadays.
4th Money is the object of affection when dealing with curio houses and unscrupulous folk.
5th Hoodoo is AJA affectionately.
6th True AJA/rootwork/cunjure is the minority in practice among said scholars and pretentious phony practitioners.
7th To under/overstand cunjure/rootwork you must be taught to a great degree.
8th The old ways are here and there is no need for falsehood.
9th Authentic (PAPA CE')Grand-Ma style AJA/cunjure/rootwork vs. Baby doll style curio house magic is the difference today.
10th At the crossroads is where sacred profound things occur and learned.
11th TO equate this sacred science to anything other is blasphemous.
12th KNOWING THY SELF + MYSTERIES = Divine Ju-Ju Womb/Man
13th "If you mess wit *Hoodoo* you could get yo sef crossed up, in worse shape den you can imagine".
14th Last but not least surely, If someone tells you about the work
they are doing then it wont work because your supposed to be silent and
remain silent , this is not taught or learned in books or the
internet, true workers would never divulge the work being done for a
client, ever!!!
I have been dismayed by the
falsehoods projected at INI ancestors sacred science. The first
connotation of disrespect was heard and discussed in a forum when Hyatt
described the Black African's in america, as informants in his book,
these were divine people who were Repositories of a sacred science, a
huge discredit, then it was known as ("MUMBO JUMBO") and Nigger talk to
the white men at the time long before the curio houses the Jews owned
and operated making millions OF OF OUR ANCESTORS WAYS, they sold us a
bill of goods. (the way the language was portrayed to be.)qUOTES
The actual language that was spoken was a broken dialect of african
english creole. Im my opinion who in hell gave him the authority to
determine anything associated with *hoodoo*. He is given credit for
taking the initiative and being inquisitive about the african's
knowledge and ways even though he didn't believe BUT NONETHELESS
CURIOUS!!!BS
To illustrate was one thing but he went too far.
The fact IS that most people who are calling themselves ROOTWORKERS,
don't know, is so ridiculous it's not funny. HAVE YOU DESCENDED
FROM SLAVES? THE SLAVES IS WHERE THE ORIGINAL ROOT KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE
CAME FROM AND YES THEY WERE FROM AFRICA AND AMERICA. ITS A SIMPLE
QUESTION (ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION WHEN YOU WANT TO QUESTION WHEN,
WHERE AND WHO)....
THE MIXTURE OF THE SLAVES BROUGHT FROM
AFRICA TO THE PLANTATION BROUGHT ABOUT A CONGLOMERATION OF PRACTICES
SOME SAY THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND POWERFUL, NAMELY CALLED HOODOO. INDEED
OLD HOODOO IS SLAVE MAGIC/ PLANTATION MAGIC TO BOOT BECAUSE THIS IS
WHERE IT WAS ASSEMBLED BETWEEN THE VARIOUS AFRICAN TRIBES WHO BECAME
HELD IN BONDAGE. HOODOO ALONE FREED THE SLAVES CONTRARY TO MOST BELIEFS
OF TODAY BUT THE SLAVES NEW BETTER, AS THIS WAS DELIVERED BY WORD OF
MOUTH (ORAL TRADITION ONLY).
This science was purported to have had a huge influence on the freedom
of the slaves as well as control of the masters while they occupied the
farms, fields and the like. Workers i know agree, coming mostly from
old stories that have been passed down and their personal experiences.
The credit has not been put in it's proper place as it should until
now.
