Traditional Delta hoodoo practitioners, as a norm,"DO NOT WORK WITH SAINTS", as a requirement, it is a CHOICE! as many are somehow led to believe...Many of these neo-pagan spiritualists somehow suggest this is the norm, it is not. I have practiced southern hoodoo all my life and I have never met anyone who insists on using a Saint as a requirement, it is what they may feel comfortable doing or how they were trained... Please stop pushing this nonsense.. It is disrespectful of the African Slaves who were not even allowed to have a religion of their own, and somehow Saints are old fashioned..Give me a break.
Maybe in New Orleans hoodoo, this is the norm,but not in the middle south.. There are no Loas, Saints or figureheads, just Jesus, God & Moses period! ..The ancestors are speaking.... Time to correct this nonsense once and for all...
Stop bastardizing and re-writing the Slave traditions of worship to fit into your own neat box.. It is what it is.. If you dont know or met anyone who knows, say so... Its better to not tell lies...
