WEDNESDAY’S NEW CLASS ALERT: HOODOO CONGO FOOT TRACK MAGIC

Hi Beloveds!

Happy Hump Day! This new one-off course focuses on what some people call “dirt sorcery,” although the sorcery of it is in the specific context of Hoodoo. Whenever I think of Foot Track magic, I know this is one of the most substantial remnants of Congo African spirituality, which is still a part of Hoodoo. This is a place in the practice, both in Hoodoo and related ATRs, where dirt is understood to be a substantial energetic container for the energy or spirit of a place.

Dirts also serve myriad purposes! They can be a battery for working. They can be a way to deploy an aggressive boneyard spirit against an enemy. But as I teach here, they can ALSO be used to bring healing, light, and positivity to a negative situation. I have seen no one suggest this last possibility until now, and it is overdue. There is a focus on baneful workings from teachers and books sometimes that needs to be more balanced. Those who teach must show other ways of thinking, even if they deviate from the norm. In this class, you can taste the fruits of one way of doing this!

Finally, and I say this as a point for deeper reflection related to Congo spiritualities, dirt is generally symbolic of the universe itself. The dirt and other materia used to create items of power are understood to be a microcosm of how the universe functions. So, when doing this work, you are tapping into that power, too.

I hope this class strengthens your arsenal of tools to defend and fight for yourself and those around you who need the help. The link to the class is here: https://www.theblackthorneschool.com/courses/hoodoocongo/.
