Hoodoo is a practical, results-oriented system. When a client comes to a Rootworker, they don't want a "philosophical" reading; they want to know if their husband is cheating, if they will get the job, or who put "goofer dust" on their porch. Because of this, we use different "lens" to see different truths.

1. Cartomancy (Playing Cards)

Best Used For: Practical, day-to-day life events.

Playing cards are the "workhorses" of Hoodoo. They are excellent for answering questions about money, court cases, and the intentions of people around you.

  • The Spread: Usually a "3-Card Pull" (Past, Present, Future) or a "9-Card Square" for more detail.

  • The Key: Spades always warn of trouble or "the Law," while Diamonds almost always signal a change in bank balance.

2. Bibliomancy (The Bible)

Best Used For: Moral guidance and revealing "Hidden Truths."

In Hoodoo, the Bible is the ultimate authority. Many workers will pray the 23rd Psalm before opening the book to a random page.

  • The Method: "Key and Bible." A key is placed at a specific verse (often in the Song of Solomon for love), and the book is tied shut. The worker asks a question; if the book turns or falls, the answer is "Yes."

3. Scrying (Hydromancy and Catoptromancy)

Best Used For: Identifying enemies and "long-distance" viewing.

  • Hydromancy (Water): A bowl of "Holy Water" or "Rainwater" is used. Sometimes a drop of oil or indigo is added. The worker gazes through the water to see the face of a thief or a rival.

  • Catoptromancy (Mirrors): A mirror is used to "catch" a spirit. This is often used to see if someone is sending you a curse from a distance.

4. Pyromancy (Fire and Wax)

Best Used For: Love, passion, and the "speed" of a situation.

Watching how a candle burns tells a story.

  • The Flame: A high, steady flame means your work is being heard. A weak, flickering flame means there is heavy opposition.

  • Ceromancy (Wax): Dripping wax into cold water. The shapes formed (a heart, a coffin, a letter) tell you the outcome of your prayer.

5. Oneiromancy (Dream Interpretation)

Best Used For: Ancestral warnings and deep spiritual messages.

Hoodoo practitioners believe that when you sleep, your soul travels. Dreams are not "imagination"; they are reports from the "Other Side."

  • Common Symbols: Dreaming of "Clear Water" means things are going well; "Muddy Water" means trouble or illness is coming. Dreaming of "Fish" often signals a pregnancy in the family.


Comparison: Which Method Should You Use?

Method Use Case Spiritual Frequency
Playing Cards "Will I get the loan?" Physical/Material
Water Scrying "Who is gossiping about me?" Intuitive/Astral
Bible "What is the right thing to do?" Divine/High Spirit
Candle Reading "Is my love spell working?" Energetic/Willpower
Bones "What is my life's purpose?" Ancestral/Destiny

How to Prepare Your Choice

In the spiritual teachings of Dr. Bula Moyo, you must "match the tool to the trouble." If you use playing cards for a deep ancestral problem, you might only get the "surface" answer.

  1. State the Trouble: Clearly define what you need to know.

  2. Select the Lens: Use the table above to pick your method.

  3. Cleanse the Channel: Always wash your hands and face with Van Van Oil or salt water before starting to ensure your "vision" isn't clouded by your own stress.


Expert Insight: Dr. Bula Moyo on "Multi-Dimensional Sight"

"I tell my students: Don't be a 'One-Trick Pony.' A good Rootworker knows how to read the cards, but they also know how to read the smoke from the chimney and the bubbles in the wash-pot. The spirits speak in many languages; the more languages you know, the less likely you are to be fooled by a lie."


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I combine two methods?

A: Yes! Often, a worker will use cards to find the "who" and then use a pendulum or scrying to find the "where" or "how."

Q: Why do my readings sometimes "fail"?

A: This usually happens when the practitioner is too emotionally involved. If you want the answer to be "Yes" too badly, you will "force" the cards or the wax to look that way. This is why we often read for each other.
