Status Updates From Mojo Workin': The Old Afric...

Very informative about the history of rootwork/hoodoo. I was surprised to find out how misinterpreted hoodoo/rootwork is in media today.

I'm probably finished and won't read any more of this book. I've learned enough to understand Hoodoo is its own religious practice; not just a form of folk magic. And as a non-initiate (especially a white non-initiate) it's not appropriate for me to practice Hoodoo. I may pick it up again in the future to further my education, but I have so many other books that are more applicable to my religious studies.

Still fascinating to see the parallels with Lucumí. I was especially intrigued about the similarities of the divination items used by the Hoodoo priest and the items a Lucumí priest receives upon initiation.

The author's a little repetitive and it's a much dryer academic read than I'm used to it, but it's very educational. It's fascinating to see the similarities between Hoodoo and Lucumi.
