In the spiritual teachings of Dr. Bula Moyo, you are never truly alone when you perform a reading. You are the "Living Tip" of a spear that stretches back for generations. In the Hoodoo tradition, the ancestors are your Primary Informants. They see what you cannot see, they hear what is whispered in secret, and they have a vested interest in your success because your victory is their legacy.

Before you can receive clear messages, you must have a place where the spirits of your lineage feel welcome. This is not "worship" in the sense of a deity, but veneration and respect.
The Water: A fresh glass of cool water acts as a "portal" and a "battery." It provides the energy the spirits need to manifest their messages in the physical tools.
The Light: A white candle provides the "Direction." It helps the ancestors find your frequency in the vastness of the spirit world.
The Food (The "Payment"): Offering things they liked in life—coffee, tobacco, or a specific meal—"feeds" the connection and makes them more willing to speak.
When you throw the bones or shuffle the cards, you are providing the "alphabet," but the ancestors provide the "Sentences."
Moving the Hand: Ancestors guide your fingers to the specific card that holds the truth.
The "Hunch": They whisper directly into your intuition. That sudden "knowing" that a client is lying? That is an ancestral nudge.
Patterns in the Bones: Ancestors "nudge" the curios to land in specific clusters. If the "Enemy Bone" keeps landing near your "Home Piece," they are sounding an alarm.
Beyond your own bloodline, Hoodoo diviners often work with the "Mighty Dead" of the Craft—the famous practitioners of the past (like Marie Laveau or Aunt Caroline Dye) who act as "Lead Professors" in the school of divination.
| Step | Action | Purpose |
| Libation | Pouring water into a plant or the earth. | Cooling the "heat" of the ancestors and opening the way. |
| Invocation | Calling the names of the dead. | Creating a "Roll Call" of your spiritual protectors. |
| Listening | 5 minutes of total silence before reading. | Allowing the "Ancestral Static" to clear so the voice is loud. |
| Closing | Thanking and releasing the spirits. | Ensuring the spirits return to their rest after the work is done. |
If you are struggling to hear your ancestors during a reading.
The Action: Write the names of your maternal and paternal grandmothers on a piece of paper. Place it under your divination cloth.
The Goal: This "Anchors" the maternal and paternal lines directly to your tools, ensuring the messages are balanced and grounded.
Tobacco is a sacred plant in Hoodoo used to bridge the gap between worlds.
The Method: Blow the smoke of a cigar over your bone set or cards before a reading.
The Action: Watch how the smoke lingers. If it stays thick over a certain area, that is where the ancestors want you to focus your interpretation.
When a reading is finished but you still feel like you missed a "secret."
The Action: Place the "Summary Card" of the reading under your pillow.
The Prayer: "Grandmothers of the night, speak to me in the language of the soul. Show me in my dreams what my eyes missed in the day."
"I tell my students: The bones are just calcium; the cards are just paper. Without the Ancestors, you are just a person playing a game. But when you 'Feed the Roots,' you become a Mouthpiece for Destiny. Your ancestors want you to be successful because you are their 'Representative' on earth. When you honor them, they will never let you be fooled by a client or an enemy."
A: You have two lineages: your Blood Lineage and your Spiritual Lineage. You can call on the "Ancestors of the Blood I know and do not know," or the "Ancestors of the Land" where you live. They will answer.
A: Yes. This is why we only call on the "Elevated" or "Ancient" ancestors—those who have moved into the light and wish for your well-being. We use a White Candle specifically to ensure only the "Clear Spirits" come to the table.
The wise ones who came before you are standing in the room right now. Are you ready to listen to what they have to tell you?
