Her website www dot Stephanie Rosebird dot com and Stephanie
30
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.200
Welcome to the X Zone.
31
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.560
Hello, thank you.
32
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:06.760
Uh.
33
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.479
First of all, Stephanie, what how do How would you
34
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.479
best describe hodoo to someone who has never heard of
35
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:13.159
it before?
36
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:15.000
Who?
37
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:22.360
Doo is a practice of folkloreic beliefs, and various practices
38
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:30.759
that are distinctly American, had sort of a strong root
39
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.599
base in the South, but also various states in the
40
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:36.960
in the country.
41
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.159
Now, how did you get involved? As are you what
42
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.120
we would call a hoodoo practitioner? Yes, okay, how did
43
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.280
you get started in this there?
44
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.280
Well, before I got involved in Hudoo, I was a
45
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.120
green witch and practicing shamanism, and I really am very
46
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:07.039
keen on my African American industry and culture and what's
47
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:11.800
going on in Africa spiritually and so forth. And whodo
48
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:18.759
attracted me because there have been traditionally many African American
49
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:25.159
practitioners and a lot of the original rootwork is from
50
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.800
African American informants.
51
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.000
Now, what is a green witch. I've heard of a
52
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.000
white witch, I've heard of a dark witch, but I've
53
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.520
never heard of a green witch.
54
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.439
What is that?
55
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:40.199
A green witch is like a hedge witch, So we
56
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:47.479
practice healing kind of brews and stews and things from
57
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.199
the garden herbs where herbalists master or herbalists and into
58
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.479
aromatherapy and things like that.
59
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.960
What is the difference between a green witch and the
60
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.800
traditional witch that people most associate the word which with
61
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.719
you know, the coven, the cauldron, the black cape, the
62
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:13.639
point it hat.
63
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.560
Yeah, I think all of us. I can't really speak
64
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.480
for the other practices because they are not my own,
65
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.720
but I can say that in green witchcraft there is
66
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:34.120
a preponderance of interest in mother nature and the earth
67
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:41.720
goddesses in plants and plant wisdom and using them to help.
68
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:47.519
Some people do it to harm as well. But yeah,
69
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.600
using the energy of green plants and the earth for magical.
70
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.240
Purposes would be fair to say that a green witch
71
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.040
is an eco friendly witch.
72
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.040
You could say that, yes, and I

would.
73
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.319
Imagine as a green witch. With everything that is going
74
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.120
wrong with the ecology of our planet thanks to the
75
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.160
industrial nations, this must be of a great concern to you.
76
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.920
Yeah, it's a very it's a pretty sad and worrisome time.
77
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:17.680
M hmm.
78
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.879
Do you think that it's too late to reverse the process,
79
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.959
that we can actually save Mother Earth or help her
80
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.000
to heal herself.
81
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:33.720
I gosh, that's such a huge question. I would hope
82
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.879
that we can, and I hope that there are enough
83
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:43.040
wise people on this Earth that can see the perilous
84
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.600
path that we're on and want to change the course.
85
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:47.920
Well that takes.
86
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.759
That makes two of us, and I commend you and
87
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.040
everyone else who does their part, whether it is big
88
00:05:54.120 --> 00:06:00.240
or small, to turn the the horrific damage that we
89
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.720
are causing to Mother or Earth and our ecology and
90
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.199
thereby endangering each and every one of us and my
91
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.519
hat is off to you, young lady.
92
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:07.639
Oh, thank you.
93
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.399
Now three hundred and sixty five days of whodu daily,
94
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.079
root work, mojo and con conjuration. Well, first of all,
95
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.040
what is root work.
96
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:23.920
Root work is pretty much what I've been speaking of.
97
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:33.680
We work with particular roots and plants, herbs, but also
98
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.000
with stones and you could say sticks, and different kinds
99
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:49.040
of materials from nature and the earth, sometimes animal parts, coins.
100
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.279
It's quite vast, it.
101
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.839
Is, all right now, So that would be the herbology
102
00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:00.959
aspect of what you do, right, yes, okay, Now mojo,
103
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.120
how do we describe what mojo is?
104
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.600
Oh, mojo is really fascinating because it's so rich and dense.
105
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.959
I feel like inside of the mojo bag, there's like
106
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:21.519
the whole world. It's like a microcosm of the world.
107
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:27.680
Mojo is a kind of energy. That's how people in
108
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.199
common parlance use mojo to speak about energy.
109
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:39.319
Oh dear, these things happen, no problem.
110
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:47.800
Yeah, Mojo is a difficult word to describe really, but
111
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.879
the bags and that you can wrap your hand, you
112
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:56.040
can wrap your head around the mojo bag itself as
113
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:01.279
an object of magic and and being power into the
114
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:06.519
world and kind of holding it as your seed of power.
115
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:09.800
And I would imagine the conjuration as a spell.
116
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:16.120
Yeah, conjuration is kind of like to pull up, So
117
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.800
it's really you know, when you when you want to
118
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:22.879
conjure an idea, like you want to kind of pull
119
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:23.720
it out of thin air.
120
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:24.120
Right.
121
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:30.560
Conturvation is dealing with the spiritual nature of a world
122
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.920
and the environment.
123
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:38.279
And we can use the three hundred and sixty five
124
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:40.679
days of Who Do to help us in our personal lives,
125
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:46.159
our professional lives and absolutely excellent, excellent. Now when we
126
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:48.559
come back, because I've got to take a commercial break
127
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:50.039
in about a minute from now, and I don't want
128
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.519
to start something and then not be able to complete
129
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:54.519
it with you. When we come back, I'd like to
130
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.480
talk to you and have you give us examples of
131
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:02.360
how who Do can help each and every one of us, and.
132
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.639

It can help in many different ways. There from your

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.919
love life, which a lot of people are interested in,
163
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:39.279
kind of getting made, keeping them close, getting rid of
164
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.919
them when you need them, not like killing them, but
165
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:48.840
just like severing the relationship. Also in your career, you're
166
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:56.000
finding a job, keeping the job, changing jobs, being successful
167
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:01.360
at interviews. Moving is another aspect of when you want

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.039

with a picture of the home to try to make
173
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:30.200
it your own with prosperity and abundance of affluence. We
174
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:36.200
have many different money related spells and tricks. We call
175
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:40.159
them tricks, which is kind of different than in witchcraft. So,
176
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:45.720
but a trick is very similar to a spell that
177
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.919
every aspect birth death.
178
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.519
How about giving us an example of what a spell
179
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:55.080
is and what a trick is.
180
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:04.279
It really is. It's a particular type of language. It's
181
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:08.639
just the language that we use in our practice as
182
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:15.600
opposed to in the witchcraft
practice, So there is not
183
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.200
that much of a difference. What I have noticed in
184
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.720
the traditional informants work is there isn't a ton of talking,
185
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:29.000
you know, in witchcraft. I feel like there's more of
186
00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:34.440
the incantation and chanting, and there is some of that,
187
00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:42.000
but there isn't as much speaking. It's more interior the
188
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:45.879
magic that is practiced with the tricks.
189
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:51.200
It almost seems as if the conjuration is a lot
190
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:58.559
like the that that very familiar and very popular. What
191
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.919
was it called the secret if you basically if you
192
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:06.080
confess that you will possess it. Is this the basic
193
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.960
functioning function of a conjuration?
194
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.440
Yeah, you mean like the law of the universe?
195
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:14.519
Yes, exactly.
196
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.600
And I Stephanie, we've kind of lost your audio.
197
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.759
You moved something there we go, are we okay?
198
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.799
Now we're now okay? So yeah, I was just saying
199
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.399
that I'm really into the law of attraction and love
200
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:38.000
the secret the idea of that, and I do see
201
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:44.240
some crossover, although just because of the nature of the
202
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:48.960
original practitioners of who do there are a lot of
203
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:56.360
afghanisms in it. There's a lot like it's more it's
204
00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:03.559
it's quite based in African paths.
205
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.200
So would you say that who Do works better for
206
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:15.399
African Americans than it would be Stephanie? I, I don't
207
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:17.639
know what you just did, but you kind of we
208
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:18.759
lost your audio again?
209
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:21.240
Are we there? Are we okay? Now?
210
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.000
We are okay now?
211
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:25.080
So you know, if I'll stop touching things.
212
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.799
Thank you, that'd be great. That would be great.
213
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:28.240
Okay?
214
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.240
So would it work would it work better for an
215
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.720
African American? Or it doesn't matter who you are, because
216
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:38.200
once you understand the principles, once you understand the theory
217
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:42.080
behind it as well as the language and how it works,
218
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:42.960
anybody can use it.
219
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.559
That's true. And it's pretty color blind, and there have
220
00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:54.440
been great practitioners of just the rainbow of colors, So
221
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.480
it doesn't matter at all what color you are to
222
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:04.159
be a good who Do. I think that sometimes like people,
223
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.519
I have people write to me and they are just
224
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:15.399
so happy they are African descended and they're just so
225
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:20.519
happy to be able to see some of themselves in
226
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.200
a practice. Sometimes we feel excluded from things or we
227
00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:29.000
feel like things are other And I think with who Doo,
228
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.360
it's something that you can kind of grab on to like, Oh, yeah,
229
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.440
I used to see my aunts do things like that,
230
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:38.120
or my grandmother or my mother. It has a kind
231
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:39.879
of common feeling to it.
232
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:41.320
It's very cultural based.
233
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:47.879
Yes, what is the difference between who doo and voodoo?
234
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:50.759
You're moved around again? You moved around again.
235
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:57.559
Oh, I've never realized how fidgety I was. I'm sorry.
236
00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.080
Okay, okay.
237
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:04.039
So, voodoo or Vudan is a religion and it has
238
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:14.079
many overtures of Catholicism in it and other religions from Africa,
239
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:19.680
and then whodoo is folkloric. It's full of folklore and
240
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:26.880
mythology and storytelling and things like that. So there is
241
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.400
a pretty big difference in vodoo and voodoo.
242
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:34.279
Now, what are the basics of whodoo?
243
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.000
Well, the basic one of the basic things that you
244
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:44.599
would need to do is Okay, many different things are
245
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:47.200
popping into my head, and I know that doesn't make
246
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.480
it basic. So let me see if I compare it down.
247
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:57.799
Having a mojo bag, maintaining it, feeding it, storing and
248
00:17:57.920 --> 00:18:05.599
using its power is very hoodoo. Going to the cemetery
249
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:12.039
and getting graveyard dirt, using that in your work is
250
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.839
another practice in hoodoo. Then we have foot track magic
251
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.480
where you know, we have like hot foot powder and
252
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.960
things like that where we use the power of movement
253
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:35.559
and our tracks two affect change and magic. So those
254
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:40.000
are some of the basics. Of course, a lot goes
255
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.680
on at the crossroads.
256
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.920
And what is the crossroads?
257
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:50.440
The crossroads are you know, it literally is where four
258
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.559
directions meet, but there's a fifth element in there that
259
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.200
is mystical and magical, and that's where a lot out
260
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.359
of the magic takes off from.
261
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:05.079
Now, as as a as a person who has also
262
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.559
been a shaman, russa shaman, would you say that the
263
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.799
crossroads is like the magic or like the medicine wheel?
264
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.039
I have, I have said that in my first book.
265
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.960
I do see some commonality there, yes, right, just as
266
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.119
I see a similarity in our mojo bag with medicine battery.
267
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.200
Yeah, I was, I was. I was envisioning that as
268
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:27.880
you were talking.
269
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:28.839
Mm hmm.
270
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.839
What is the significance of the graveyard dirt, graveyard earth?
271
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:39.039
I should say from there are many different kinds of
272
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:44.240
people obviously that are buried in the cemetery, Yes, and
273
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:50.599
you can pull different types of energy from engaging the
274
00:19:50.640 --> 00:20:01.799
soils from different areas around their grave, So.
275
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:05.920
So would it would the earth from a man who
276
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:09.759
has died have different energy and uses from that of
277
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:10.960
a lady who has died.
278
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:17.640
Yes, And also there's the use of the innocence of
279
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.920
a child or a baby who has died that the
280
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:29.680
earth from around their cemetery area graveyard is another kind
281
00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:31.839
of power that you can pull on.
282
00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.440
How does power remain in the earth after the person
283
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:40.720
has died. I always thought that once a person died,
284
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.400
the energy that was within them left in spirit form.
285
00:20:46.000 --> 00:20:50.799
I feel that it disperses into into the soil just
286
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:57.960
there are like their remains are there, so parts of
287
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:03.440
them has burst into the ground, into the earth.
288
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.640
And how long after a person has passed away and
289
00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:12.079
been buried, is that earth good enough or been charged
290
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.000
enough to be used in a in a ritual or
291
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:16.839
a conjuration.
292
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:23.319
Yeah, it's usually not brand new soil. It's usually someone
293
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:26.880
who's been there for a bit that you would use it.
294
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.960
All right, Stephanie stan bought you and I have to
295

or website is Stephanie Rosebird dot com and she's the
311

author of three hundred and sixty five days of Whodoo Daily,
312
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.240
root Work, Mojo and Conjuration. And once again, her website
313
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:25.400
is Stephanie Rosebird dot com. Stephanie, based on your experience
314
00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.319
having dealt in this genre for thirty years, what is
315
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.920
the number one reason why people turn to learning whodoo?
316
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:43.160
I think, I mean there are two reasons. Can you
317
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.519
hear me?
318
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:45.960
Yes? I can? I said what are the two reasons?
319
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.559
Okay, the first thing that I thought of People are
320
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:53.440
just very caught up in their love lives and they
321
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:58.000
want to be able to get love and keep it close.
322
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:00.680
So that is one of the things brings them to
323
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:06.599
who Do. So it's really it's like something that people
324
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.559
want to affect change. They want to take control of
325
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:14.680
things and affect change. I think would be the best
326
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.000
way to summarize it.
327
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:25.440
Would this be a person typically who Let me use
328
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.039
this example. All right, I've been married now, gosh, let
329
00:24:29.079 -->
00:24:31.640
me see, our eldest daughter is going to be forty six,
330
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:38.759
and I've never had to turn to WHODO or any
331
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:43.599
other any other modality to keep my marriage and my
332
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:44.440
family together.
333
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.920
Well, I think everybody is different. Everyone has different things
334
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:59.680
that they want to to effect, to have effects on.
335
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:02.319
So you would you say that who Do is a tool?
336
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:08.680
I think there are tools in who dou? Yes?
337
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.759
All right, So let's say one of our listeners is
338
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:21.680
having love issues. How would what would they do or
339
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.359
how would who do be used to help the listener
340
00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:31.559
win over the heart or increase the intensity of the
341
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:34.119
relationship that he or she wants.
342
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:39.440
I could use a particular type of mojo bag that's
343
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:48.119
treated all with love lore materials. That would be the
344
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:54.240
probably the best, the best way. And the other one
345
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:58.400
that comes to mind is foot track magic, where you
346
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:03.079
use the souls of the person's shoes and they are
347
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:08.640
put in a particular direction under the home to keep
348
00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.519
them close to home at all times or to help
349
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.799
them find their way back.
350
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:21.279
All right, now, having said that, what is the science
351
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.440
behind who do? How does it work? How does turning
352
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:29.759
the shoes in the right direction help keep somebody at home?
353
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.079
It's a great metaphor, but how does it work in reality?
354
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:37.319
I think that what you know, one of the things
355
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.359
that you said that was so great is when you
356
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:43.279
started to talk about the law of attraction and the spirit,
357
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:48.200
Because I think that a good whodo is very grounded,
358
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:55.079
very in control of themselves and their environment, and it's
359
00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:01.839
sheer will power, its will and power from conjuring spirits
360
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:06.559
and ancestry around the person that they enables them to
361
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:13.240
do these kinds of things. Some hoodoos are also quite like.
362
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:18.000
They have Christian leanings, so they will use psalms, they
363
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:25.079
use prayer, Christian prayer to help cement the work that
364
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:31.039
they're doing. But I think in essence,
it's will and
365
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.440
power from within the who do?
366
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:38.599
It sounds as if whodo actually works with whatever religious
367
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:41.519
philosophy that you're comfortable with.
368
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:50.440
Absolutely most definitely, Yeah, you don't. You can be and
369
00:27:50.480 --> 00:27:54.880
you can be even atheist. Any different pagan path can
370
00:27:54.920 --> 00:27:59.720
work with who do and some there are religious different
371
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:04.599
kinds to elements in who do, not just Christian either.
372
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.839
How long would it take a person to become proficient
373
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.240
in whodoo?
374
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.680
I think, like with my book The Three hundred and
375
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.920
sixty five Days, giving it an entire year, practicing every
376
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:25.079
day would definitely build some proficiency. But I think that
377
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.440
it's not like something where like the old drink tang
378
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:34.160
where you just add water, it's not that it does
379
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:39.880
take practice and dedication and a lot of trial and error.
380
00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:43.680
Two, it's like today's diets. Everybody's looking for the magic pill.
381
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:45.839
They don't want to actually eat right, they don't want
382
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:48.319
to exercise, They just want to find that magic pill,
383
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.000
pop it and all their problems over. But in reality,
384
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.720
I know, and I know that you know, being a practitioner,
385
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:56.599
there is no such thing you have to give in
386
00:28:56.799 --> 00:29:06.079
order to receive. Yes, yeah, having done this for so long,
387
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:09.160
written award winning books. I'm sure that you've met many
388
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:12.079
people over the years that have used your practices and
389
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.079
who have success stories. What are some of these success
390
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:17.160
stories that you can share with our audience.
391
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:25.279
I hate to beat the same old drum, but people
392
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.920
have been working love magic a lot. They'll they write
393
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:35.960
into me or talk to me about love magic. Another
394
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:40.720
thing that people do, though, that's quite profound, is they
395
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:46.119
find themselves in the power that they hold withinside of them, oh,
396
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:51.119
themselves and their soul. And that's really moving when someone
397
00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.160
gets to that point.
398
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:58.400
So basically, who Too also teaches someone how to recognize
399
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:02.519
their own inner strengths, yes, and help build confidence. I
400
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.720
would imagine, Yes, you know, there's the old thing. If
401
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:08.400
you can't love yourself, no one else.
402
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:10.519
Will exactly.
403
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:11.759
How?
404
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:15.880
All right, So I understand the love how it improves
405
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:17.880
your love, and I think it's wonderful, especially since it
406
00:30:17.920 --> 00:30:23.160
helps people to recognize their own power, because I firmly
407
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:26.079
believe that the answer to every question or every problem
408
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.240
we have can be found in the person on the
409
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:30.079
other side of the mirror, when you're looking at your
410
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:35.440
reflection in the mirror. Yeah, and I love philosophies like
411
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:38.960
who do that actually help the person discover themselves and
412
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:42.000
to bring themselves to a point where it helps build
413
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:44.960
self esteem as well as gives the person the purpose
414
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:46.839
and the ability as well.
415
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.359
As the tools to make this happen.
416
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.759
Yes, protection, I you know, when I was reading the
417
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:59.039
information about your book, it said can improve love, prosperity, protection,
418
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:02.680
and much more. How can who do help with protection?
419
00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:10.119
Well, again, it's the one of the parts of the
420
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:14.200
protection magic that I like a lot or is the
421
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:19.400
mojo bag and putting specific elements into the bag and
422
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:22.720
then feeding the bag and keeping it on your person,
423
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:28.079
keeping it around where you sleep, and traveling with it
424
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:34.319
the mojo bag, and there are many different tricks for
425
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:38.240
protection surrounding the mojo bag.
426
00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:42.359
It also, it also sounds as if there's a lot
427
00:31:42.440 --> 00:31:52.119
of uh Native American or North American native methodology because
428
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:57.319
they believe the yeah, the protection of salt, yes, you know,
429
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:01.720
smudging hmm. And it seems that there's also a little
430
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.119
bit of fun shuey in here as well.
431
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:09.680
Yes, there is. There are so many neat practices in there,
432
00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:14.680
and I think that it came about like very strongly
433
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.920
at a time when in some rural areas, but also
434
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:25.079
urban areas where different communities of people from different cultures
435
00:32:25.079
--> 00:32:31.799
were living together and it rubbed off on the practitioners.
436
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:35.880
I can associate with that because when I was a
437
00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.480
young lad, we lived in Montreal and an area called
438
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.559
Park Extension, and that's where everyone lived. You had the italent,
439
00:32:42.640 --> 00:32:45.079
you had Italian friends, who had Greek friends, who had
440
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:49.480
Irish friends, you had Oriental friends, and we all shared
441
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.680
the culture that we each had and it was wonderful.
442
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:54.039
People don't do that anymore.
443
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:57.359
I know, it's getting more and more separate, which is
444
00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:58.119
kind of scary.
445
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:02.680
It's also very sad because I feel very fortunate that
446
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:06.559
I had the ability to learn so much as a
447
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.359
youth that I have been able to carry throughout my lifetime.
448
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:10.920
Yes, So.
449
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:17.119
Anyway, one quick question, Can who do help with the
450
00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:21.319
daily stress that we're all faced with these days? Give
451
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:24.200
me a yes or no and we'll get the complete
452
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:26.319
answer when we come back from a commercial break. So
453
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:28.079
can who do help with stress?
454
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:28.960
Yes?
455
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:31.799

473
00:35:35.440 --> 00:35:37.599
thank you so much for joining us tonight, taking time
474
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:40.679
out of your busy schedule, and congratulations.
475
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:40.360
On your book.
476
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.440
Thank you.
477
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:47.400
So The question I asked before we went to the
478
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:51.840
commercial break was protection and how who Do can help
479
00:35:51.920 --> 00:35:55.000
us in these very stressful days that each and every
480
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:56.239
one of us are under.
481
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:01.239
Yes, we were going to talk about stress, I thought,
482
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:09.239
and I really like the combination of the elements in
483
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:15.440
who Do too kind of I don't know, it sort
484
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:18.960
of deflates the stress, Like if you when you can
485
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.639
do something as simple as lighting a candle, a white
486
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.440
candle or a purple candle, blue candle, something of a
487
00:36:28.519 --> 00:36:32.480
high spirituality sometimes when you're really low, like more of
488
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:39.679
an orange kind of or yellow candle to energize you
489
00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:45.119
and your space. And then with water, like especially now
490
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.760
that it's spring, we have been having some crazy rain
491
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:54.280
and flooding here and it can make you begrudge the rain.
492
00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:56.639
But one of the things that you do in who
493
00:36:56.719 --> 00:37:03.199
Do is collect rain, like just plane rainwater and use
494
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:08.199
that in the cleansing of your home and lightning water.
495
00:37:09.320 --> 00:37:12.360
For example, you can bathe in it, or you can
496
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.400
kind of wash through a floor wash with it and
497
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:20.159
it will. It's a change kind of water, so it
498
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:27.599
can change from dull, drab, worrisome, hectic to where you
499
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.199
want your space and yourself to be. So the fire
500
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:35.679
and water element can come together and work very nicely
501
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:39.400
use or particular who doo methodologies.
502
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:41.719
Now I'm going to ask you a question, and I'm
503
00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:44.519
not This isn't a joke, it was. It's something that
504
00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:48.079
struck me. What happens like in a lot of today's
505
00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:52.400
homes everything is carpeted. Oh yeah, how do you how
506
00:37:52.400 -->
00:37:54.599
can we utilize the rain water?
507
00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:58.639
Well, you can use it in the bath, even though
508
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:03.360
baths are very old fashion nowadays, even like a foot soak,
509
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.599
a hand soak, so you can take it down to
510
00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:11.639
the smaller levels. And also like you know, like a
511
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:15.760
pine wash or something like that that would be I
512
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:20.159
have hardwood floors, so I always i'm you know, working
513
00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:25.559
from my center. That's my center is having these hardwood floors,
514
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:28.039
and so I think about what to do with them.
515
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:30.320
I have a lot of wood in my home, like
516
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:36.920
trim and things like that, and so I think, if
517
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:41.519
you don't have wood trim or stairs or anything like that,
518
00:38:41.639 --> 00:38:46.599
you can still work the countertops and tables and glass
519
00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:50.320
like whatever surfaces you have of your furniture, you can
520
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:54.559
still work with the with essential oils and the different
521
00:38:54.599 --> 00:38:56.320
types of waters and things like that.
522
00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.840
What are some of the altars that people can learn
523
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.719
how to make by reading three hundred and sixty five
524
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:04.079
days of Whodo.
525
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:11.440
You can make an ancestral alter. You can make Saint
526
00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:19.400
Joe altar. All of the different saints have different altars,
527
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:23.960
and then the loa from the Yuroba paths. You can
528
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:30.639
also learn how to make alters to salute and encourage
529
00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:32.400
them to be in your environment.
530
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:39.239
You're a spiritual artist specializing in painting, and in fact we're coming.
531
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.280
You're coming to us from your art studio. Yeah, tell
532
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:45.280
us a little bit about your spiritual art.
533
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:53.280
Okay. So my paintings generally center around plants, so just
534
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:59.760
like the magical practices that I have engaged, and I
535
00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:03.400
can carry that over to the painting. So when I
536
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:09.679
am visualizing from plants, I try to see their inner
537
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:15.559
energy and their feeling potential and then get that down
538
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:21.039
on canvas or paper. So they're very abstract. I spoke
539
00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:25.480
to a lady yesterday and she said, well.
540
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.639
She couldn't see the nature in my work, which was
541
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:32.360
very like confounding to me because I actually
sit outside
542
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:36.599
and paint or I always have plants in my studio
543
00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:40.159
that I'm working from, or sticks or something like that.
544
00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.239
So I was very befuddled that she had said that.
545
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:47.760
But yes, I have even gone as far as like
546
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:54.679
doing natural dyes as my paint and working with ground
547
00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:58.480
oyster shells and different kind of inks from the sea
548
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:02.000
and things like that feel enhance also the kind of
549
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:04.079
vision I'm trying to pull forth.
550
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:08.920
Do you find that your painting enhances your spirituality?
551
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:15.000
Yes, it grows from it, So it's all It's all
552
00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:19.159
a unit. Really, it's people kind of separate me out,
553
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:23.360
like some people are interested in my painting life and
554
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:27.599
some in my writing and spirituality, but it's all one
555
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:34.079
and the same. They're just different genres are pathways to
556
00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:35.760
the same end.
557
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.920
And how important is meditation in whodo?
558
00:41:42.280 --> 00:41:46.519
I feel that it's very important to ground and center,
559
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.119
so that again, so that you can pull from from
560
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.599
your center core to be able to put forth the
561
00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.599
kind of magic that you want in the world. So
562
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:00.360
I feel that it's very important. I think it would
563
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:03.440
depend on who you're talking to, but since you're talking
564
00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:06.360
to me, yeah, it's very important.
565
00:42:07.360 --> 00:42:11.599
You were mentioning lighting candles before, and you gave different colors.
566
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:16.119
What is the significance of a colored candle? For example, white,
567
00:42:16.280 --> 00:42:19.320
you mentioned purple, you mentioned blue.
568
00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:23.079
Yes, each of the colors, like I go through them
569
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:30.360
and in the book, but they all have different significances
570
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:34.440
like red candles are used a lot in love magic,
571
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:42.360
green in money, prosperity magic. I like the blue, purple,
572
00:42:42.599 --> 00:42:48.239
white because it's high high frequency spirituality, so it's really
573
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:56.760
elevates and get you connected to spirit. So I particularly
574
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:58.280
like those three colors.
575
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:01.360
Before we go, I'd like to know more, and I'd
576
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.239
like you to share with our listeners some of the
577
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.519
workshops and ritual
retreats that you offer.
578
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.519
I do women's retreats, and I also do I do
579
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:18.920
a lot of botanical crafting kinds of workshops, like I
580
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:25.159
love working with Hannah making natural soaps, things like that.
581
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:32.039
But yeah, I do. I like to do retreats gathering.
582
00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:36.119
Seems like women gravitate towards me, so a lot of
583
00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:41.800
women come to my retreats and workshops, but they are
584
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:47.760
open to everyone, and I encourage everyone to come. So
585
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:55.400
they are the nexus between or within spirituality and creativity
586
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.159
is what I am offering, and.
587
00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:01.519
I would imagine All the information about your retreats, your courses,
588
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:05.320
your workshops and classes can be found on your website
589
00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:08.840
at www dot Stephanieosebird dot com.
590
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:12.480
Yes, and on my Facebook page. I have an author
591
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:18.639
Facebook page and I always post any upcoming workshops that
592
00:44:18.679 --> 00:44:23.320
I'm having there and on Twitter, but the connections to
593
00:44:24.840 --> 00:44:29.840
my social media is through the wwws Stephanie Roseberg dot
594
00:44:29.880 --> 00:44:31.519
com and that website.
595
00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:34.320
Stephanie, we've got about a minute left. What are your
596
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:37.079
final words or your final thoughts that you'd like to
597
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:38.159
share with the x ownation.
598
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:45.199
I would say, please don't be afraid of Whodoo because
599
00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:50.719
of the sort of shallow, lowbrow like crazy movies that
600
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:54.760
you might have seen from a long, long time ago.
601
00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:01.800
It can be a very positive healing path, very empowering
602
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:05.400
path to help you make change in your life. So
603
00:45:05.800 --> 00:45:07.960
I would really encourage you to give it a try,
604
00:45:08.480 --> 00:45:10.360
and not just give it a try, but stick with
605
00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:12.800
it for three hundred and sixty five days so that
606
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.119
you can really get to the root of the matter.
607
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:18.960
