Hoodoo for Everyone | Free Book
Hoodoo is a folklore tradition that was created by and for enslaved African Americans in the southern United States. And before there were honey jars, red brick dust, and everything else you may associate with Hoodoo, there was the need to be free.
This is not the #kitchenwitch Hoodoo you’ve seen on social: it’s magic for those who seek liberation and healing, for those who have been hurt, misunderstood, or cast aside. This is Hoodoo, updated: history, foundations, spellwork, and spiritual guidance made accessible to everyone, inclusive of all backgrounds and genders.
Written with three guiding Hoodoo tenets--Intention, Faith, and Direction--in mind, Hoodoo for Everyone offers everything you need to know about the practice: rituals, conjure, rootwork, divination, herbs, plants, and ancestor work.
Shone’s modern Hoodoo also goes in-depth into discussions of gender, religion, and cultural appropriation. She answers the questions:
• Is Hoodoo the same as Voodoo, Lucumi, or Santeria?
• How do I connect to an ancestor if I don’t know my family’s history?
• Is Hoodoo accessible to queer folks?
• Can I practice Hoodoo even if I’m agnostic or Christian?
• How can I practice Hoodoo respectfully and with sensitivity?
With spells and verses organized by topic and a list of spices, herbs, and spellwork objects, Hoodoo for Everyone is for all readers called to Hoodoo, new and experienced alike. For anyone seeking a natural spiritual practice, a connection to their history, or a deeper connection to non-judgmental life energy, Shone offers a comprehensive guide to manifesting deliverance through Hoodoo magic.
In The Press
"Shone offers hoodoo ethics; an extensive index of useful Bible
verses; a glossary of spices, herbs, and roots; and versatile chants,
prayers, offerings, and blessings to help equip the new practitioner.
[Her] gift is to be expansive, earthy, and inclusive."—Spirituality & Health
“From the first opening words, this book
GRABS you! Shone is a master at painting a picture of what Hoodoo is,
and what a Hoodoo practitioner looks like… which is anybody. She walks
you through her own beginnings and how she came to recognize that she
is a Hoodoo practitioner. Shone takes the reader into the richness of
Hoodoo’s origins and history, and her personal self-discoveries that
give the practice of Hoodoo a place in everyday life for anyone
wishing to examine it. I found so much connection to my own practices
in both rituals and content. I believe this book will help any person
exploring the metaphysical arts find real-world foundations to build
upon and enhance their own experiences. Thank you, Sherry, for sharing
another part of your spiritual journey to help enlighten the path of
others.”

“Sherry
Shone shines again. In her second book, Hoodoo for Everyone, Shone
serves as a warm and compassionate guide through her updated practice
of Hoodoo for the modern world. Her joie de vivre radiates in her
writing, but she never tempts readers to look away from harsh truths.
Rather, Shone helps us face reality head on and, armed with her
stories, wisdom, knowledge, and the tools of her magic, heal.”
