Whites trynna practice hoodoo is so…? Why are you praying to the deceased ancestors of African American people who died under white supremacy, which you benefit from? You really feel entitled to the service of black folks, even in death?
hey fellow white magic workers/witches/pagans/polytheists, we should all be reblogging this.
I responded to this earlier but I misread African Americans for native Americans. my stance still stands that as long as your being respectful to that faith, you should be able to practice as you please. Religions or practice knows no skin color or race. You don’t have to be Scandinavian to be odinist, you don’t have to be Indian to practice Hinduism, just like you don’t have to be wiccan to be a witch. People don’t also realize that here↓ In the United States of America, slavery was already on the way out and the south was prepared to get rid of it. I could go into it but knowing that most people either don’t care or want to hear facts contrary from what they learned in school, I refrain. So in conclusion as long as your being respectful, there is nothing wrong with it. Because no one choice their race, therefore no one should be ashamed of it.
Actually hoodoo does see color our spirits and ancestors are not friendly with non black practitioners. Hell they can be violent towards us if we really fuck up so what makes you think they’ll be kind to you. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again this is a closed religion for a reason. Not only because it IS a black only religion but for people’s safety. People have lost their minds dealing with some deities. But I mean in all honesty if y'all are so hell bent on trying to steal and claim a religion you have no business in I truly hope you get everything the spirits and ancestors give you.
If these dumbasses really want to fuck around with hoodoo let them. They’ll get exactly what the fuck they deserve.
EVEN THE ACTUAL WHITE SPIRIT PRACTITIONERS IN THE NOTES ARE TELLING Y’ALL NOT TO DO THIS AND YOU’RE INSISTING ON BEING WHITE AND DUMB SO IF MY ANCESTORS RISE UP AND BUST Y’ALL IN THE ASS ALL I’M GONNA DO IS LAUGH HARDER
I also have to come in from the Asetru side of things to point out that over 90% of people who call themselves Odinists do think you have to be Scandinavian.
It’s a red flag for white supremacy.
Which may well say something about the person using that term.
It always kills me when these white people go “as long as you’re respectful” but by appropriating this closed religion you are inherently being disrespectful. See, it’s a recurrent problem amongst white practitioners that they have this entitled mindset and they tell themselves that as long as they aren’t being *overtly* racist by saying slurs or tying nooses, then they are free to do whatever. But being truly respectful means keeping your hands off closed religions especially black/African ones.
I’ve had so many ~uwu blessed be peace and love~ white witches get angry and violently so on this post which is exactly what I’m talking about. White witches and practitioners aren’t any different from white Christians with that fucking colonizer mindset. The second you heard “No”, y'all were trying to tell a black person they were stupid and wrong and the “real racist”
