Hoodoo, also called Conjure or Rootwork, is a tradition of folk healing, hexing, and divination historically practiced among African Americans in the United States. It was built on older African religious practices brought to North America through the transatlantic slave trade. It later integrated influences from Christianity, European rituals and texts, and Native American herbal traditions.
