Welcome to ConjureDoctors.com, the website devoted to honoring the ancestors of the hoodoo, conjure and rootwork traditions. This website is a work in progress but I have already added a lot of information and resources to help anyone interested in learning more about the forgotten ancestors and their traditions. I have much more to add and will continue to do so, so please check back frequently for updates.
Today, much of the information that comes up on Google searches for the terms hoodoo, conjure, rootwork, conjure doctor, conjure doctors, spiritual doctors and more land on commercial hoodoo enterprises with the focus on commodity as opposed to cultural preservation. This site focuses on the latter. Find information here about the people who made it possible for others to profit from the traditions, while remembering most of these original conjure doctors and spiritual mothers lived in abject poverty. In the very least, my hope is that those who profit off of southern conjure traditions will begin paying a daily homage to these forgotten ancestors by pouring a daily libation of water and thanking them for their contributions; albeit, unknown to them today. Please share this website with others to make the voices of our ancestors heard. Theirs is the most important one to include in the current narrative.
Conjuredoctors.com provides free information about conjure doctor cures, remedies, core practices, harms and cures, household receipts, articles, resources and an alternate perspective on the history of hoodoo.
