Watch The Short Documentary 

In this episode, we explore one of the most hidden aspects of #hoodoo   "The Hoodoo Dance".. We draw from first hand accounts of Zora Neal Hurston and Harry Middleton Hyatt's extensive anthropology series.

Discover the detailed, ritualistic experiences of Ruth Mason, a renowned Hoodoo practitioner from New Orleans, and compare them with the social perspectives of another New Orleans informant. See how these practices reflect the unique blend of African, French, Spanish, and Caribbean influences that shape New Orleans' culture.

Learn about the significance of St. John’s Day, the role of spiritual offerings, and the rhythmic dances that define this practice. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to join us on this journey through history.
