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 concept that embraces many forms of contact with non-material entities and the gaining and transmission of otherwise hidden knowledge. The four major divisions of Spirit Work are religious, divinatory, magical, and mediumistic.

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. Spirits may also include the spirits of places, animals, plants, water sources, and beings other than humans; and a rich and varied roster of spiritual entities.

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.

Popular Forms of Spirit Work

Spirit Work is a term that covers a broad range of altar work and prayer as well as magical traditions of spell casting in which root doctors may contact or seek the aid of spirits and spirit guides. It also includes spirit contacts undertaken while working within the Spiritualist tradition or in a Spiritualist church.

Religious Traditions of Working with Spirits

Religious traditions are cultural belief systems revolving around the engaging and understanding of the numinous, a term that can refer to philosophical, theological, and cosmological concepts of deity, spirit, nature, and the universe. Common characteristics of a religion are a distinction between clergy and lay persons and a liturgical order of services. Any given religion may or may not include magical prescriptive rites and/or divination or prophesy. Religious services generally include both worship and fellowship. (Read More ...)

Divinatory Traditions of Working with Spirits

Divinatory Traditions of Working with Spirits are specialized forms of fortune-telling, reading, divining, prophesying, telling futures, and oracular disclosure in which the process of determining the present or future circumstances of a person, place, relationship, or object may be glimpsed, understood, or predicted with the assistance of spirits.

Magical Traditions of Working with Spirits

Magical Traditions of Working with Spirits are generally transmitted in the form of collections of rituals, prayers, spell casting and other spiritual means of affecting change in the physical world.

Consultation with Ancestors

Ancestors are special spirits of the dead who are deceased family members or direct lineal ancestors.
