Yes. Nutmeg was/is part of Rootwork response to withdrawal from certain substances (a limited amount of nutmeg is administered). There’s a scene in the Malcolm X movie where he is given nutmeg while he was in jail with no access to drugs. That was a nod to a real ritual.

In Hoodoo, think of the ancestral altar as the table at Sunday dinner. The ancestral altar is less like a portal, and more like an agreed upon (and properly dressed) meeting place.

We remember John Anthony Copeland, Lewis Sheridan Leary, Dangerfield Newby, Shields Green and Osborne Perry Anderson who raided Harpers Ferry W. Virginia along with John Brown, but whose names and work are not sung enough.

This is a necessary conversation. Especially on this 6th day of Hoodoo Heritage Month that calls on us to “call an elder in your family.” How could one have a warped view on age, yet believe they’re ready to absorb the medicine that only comes with age?

I think about this often but imagine being grateful, shocked even, that you survived past 30 as a nigga, just to get on here & see ppl makin fun of yo big age unprovoked. I think the older you get, the more you realize old is not a derogatory thing. (Not saying OP is doin this)

it’s hunting season in the Chesapeake area. There are many times where food can be medicine. Don’t forget that the waters have animals too! The shells that you see on the beach also count as animal medicine. Clams, oysters, and crabs have protective medicine.
