Hoodoo - also known as "rootwork" and "conjure" - is a tradition of practical magic grounded in the African-American experience of the Southern USA and magical techniques of the Congo. With a comprehensive materia magica and syncretic practices borrowed from American Indian herbal medicine, Jewish mysticism, Pennsylvania Dutch pow-wow, and East Asian lore, Hoodoo remains the only magical tradition unique to the USA.
