There is a lot of Work in Hoodoo.

They don't call it worken the root for nuthen. 

There are a lot of sleepless nights in conjuring. There may be several angles that you are hitting your target on, all at once. There are candles to be lit, herbs to be sprinkled and prayed over. Over and over, one must pray... For hours at a time, with little break. Offerings made, promises sung. One must know what they are doing in order to affect any sort of a change that is tangible. 

Always preparing ahead of time, as divination must be done first and foremost. Then the making of the oils and powders. And a lot more praying. Finding the right moment by the hands of the clock and the days of the week. Most importantly, keeping silent the whole time about what you are doing. 

We make it all look so easy when the camera is rolling and the pictures are published. But it's a bunch of memorization and prayer. Practice and perfection, crafting and making. It's giving away pieces of your self.

Just some thoughts for ya all.
