Hoodoo: How to Bring Prosperity and Wealth into your Life | African American Spirituality | Herbs and Oils for Magic

The ancestors of many Black Americans have created spells and rituals to bring in prosperity and wealth. They used them as a form of manifestation, whether it was to get a job, have a successful business or just having extra money. Over time, rituals and spells have been handed down through many generations. While some may appear different from others, a great number of these practices and recipes have been shared and exchanged among them. Considering that Hoodoo had to be hidden within Christianity, many verses would be recited as prayer as well.
