This 90-minute immersive class explores the history, function, and correct use of gris-gris bags and mojo hands within the Hoodoo tradition. Participants will learn how these tools differ, how they are constructed, and why Hoodoo is a system of survival, not superstition.
Facilitated by Maha Blackfeather, this class includes hands-on instruction, historical context, and cultural grounding.
