Spirit work in the hoodoo and conjure tradition often involves enlisting the psychic aid of discarnate entities in order to accomplish specific prayerful, spiritual, or spell-casting goals. Spirit Work is a term that covers a broad range of altar work and prayer as well as magical spell casting in which root doctors may contact or seek the aid of Spirits and Spirit Guides.

Spiritual entities consulted by a conjure doctor on behalf of clients may include Deities, Angels and Archangels, personal Spirit Guides, as well as the spirits of ancestors and the dead.

When undertaken by a professional rootworker, consulting with and petitioning the spirits on behalf of a client may at times involve aspects of Altar Work and Prayers, recitation of portions of scripture, such as The Book of Psalms, and Candle Services. If engaged as a form of divination or prophecy, spirit work may include Mediumship or Channelling.

Working Within the Native American Tradition

• For more information, see Working Within the Native American Tradition

Traditional Native American religions exhibit a great deal of diversity, largely due to the relative isolation of the different tribes that were spread out across the entire breadth of the North American continent for thousands of years, allowing for the evolution of different beliefs and practices between tribes. Native American spirituality is often characterized by panentheism, a strong emphasis on the importance of personal spirituality and its inter-connectivity with one's own daily life, and a deep connection between the natural and spiritual 'worlds'. Many adherents to traditional American Indian ways do not see their spiritual beliefs and practices as a "religion"; rather, they see their whole culture and social structure as infused with 'spirituality' -- an integral part of their lives and culture.
