Hoodoo Powders Ebook (Coming Soon)

In the dusty crossroads of Southern roads, in the corners of juke joints and church pews, in hand-stitched satchels and whispered hexes, powders have always held power. The Hoodoo Powders Compendium is the most comprehensive volume ever assembled on the sacred science of ritual dusts, foot track magic, floor sprinklings, and pocket-carried powders in Black American conjure. With over 1,000 authentic and folkloric recipes, this encyclopedia of conjure dusts is a masterwork of magical preservation, rooted in the lived traditions of slavery-era survival, Jim Crow resistance, and Black Southern mysticism.
From courthouse dirt blends used to sway a judge’s hand, to red brick dust laid at the door to keep evil from crossing the threshold, this volume traces the power of powder as both weapon and blessing. Each recipe is carefully documented with instructions, ingredient meanings, and conjure logic passed down from rootworkers, grannies, preachers, midwives, and spirit-led seers of the South.
Inside, you’ll find:
Over 1,000 powders, dusts, floor sweeps, and foot-track conjures arranged by spiritual function, Love, Protection, Crossing, Justice, Gambling, Attraction, Fertility, Separation, Peace, Ancestor Work, and more
The magical role of each botanical, mineral, or animal ingredient—from salt and graveyard dirt to powdered rose petals, cayenne, and crushed wasp nests
The Bible verses and Psalms traditionally spoken over the powders during creation, laying, or activation
Spiritual intelligence of each powder: whether it is elemental, ancestral, demonic, angelic, or condition-specific
Instructions on how to lay powders ritually, in shoes, on floors, across thresholds, at courthouse steps, or in secret pocket sachets
Historical documentation from WPA Slave Narratives, Harry M. Hyatt’s field interviews, Theophus Smith’s theology of conjure, and oral testimonies from Black belt communities across Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Louisiana, and Arkansas
You’ll also receive practical guidance on:
Blending powders with bone dust, herbs, minerals, ashes, flour, talcum, and dirt
Timing your work using conjure numerology (3, 7, 9, 13 days, full moons, midnight crossings)
Powdered petitioning, how to write, speak, and lay your will into the dust
The making of Crossing Powders, Goofer Dust, Peaceful Home Dust, Attraction Powders, Shut Your Mouth Dust, and over a hundred creative, regional, or family-specific blends
This volume honors the ancestral logic of dust as spirit-mover—how a trace of powder carries a trail of command. It is both an instructional manual and a spiritual archive, perfect for rootworkers, spiritual entrepreneurs, conjure scholars, and those building an altar of memory and mastery.
Bonus Sections Include:
Powdering the Devil’s Back: Working with Darker Forces for Justice and Reversal
Dusting the Dead: Powders for Ancestors, Cemeteries, and Grave Jars

This is not talc and glitter, this is conjure in its rawest, realest, and oldest form.
The Hoodoo Powders Compendium is a field manual, a spiritual map, and a legacy of the Black South written in dust, ash, and sacred earth.
