Hoodoo, also known as rootwork or conjure, is a system of African-American folk-magical belief and practice derived from Congo and West African sources, with an admixture of Native American and European-American herb-lore. It is not a hierarchically-organized religion per se, but even though most practitioners are Christians, the true spiritual basis of hoodoo is found in the African Traditional Religions.
