THE HOODOO WAY: JAN1: invocation
I am doing a Work, The Hoodoo Way: Pilgrimage and Transformation.
Gon be meditations on the hoodoo way. I call it mi Codex. It was originally a
Hoodoo Almanac but I didn’t like the Product. Decided I would let this Text
be the one where I would let my freak flag fly. Ima speculate all over the
page on this one. I would also like in this work to explore the concept of
being a Contemporary Tribal Healer. The High Hoodoo of Memphis.
Forge a Text that is in itself a Healing. This Text will also serve as a
meditation on Wisdom. It embarrasses me how much I want to be Wise.
This comes in part from mi griotic pursuits. One of my goals as a griot /
storyteller is to found a Wisdom Tales tradition in Afrospiritual Literature.
Accordingly, this aspires to be a Wisdom Text. I want to make the pursuit of
wisdom an integral component of the Hoodoo Way - and African American culture.
So. Let this work of Tribal Healing be an Ancestral Offering, a 52 beat weekly
structure representing a Year / Life as Pilgrimage. Plan is to drop a weekly
excerpt on social media. Promotion. Feedback. Working the Board. So, let us
begin. A Pilgrimage Year. Eh. Let us stumble thru. The Hoodoo Way:
in the beginning god created humanity
when humanity got too proud god created death
when death got too proud god created art
