NEW YEARS IN MARCH REMINDER POST # 3 January 20th

Hello, it’s me again as I told you before I will be posting reminders of what you should do in preparation for the spring equinox!

As we approach the Spring Equinox, which marks the new year in many traditions, now is the time to begin preparing spiritually for the shift in energy that will come with the season. The Spring Equinox, occurring in March, is not only a moment of balance between light and dark but also a time for renewal, growth, and planting new intentions. In Hoodoo and other African American spiritual practices, this period is sacred—a time for reflection, cleansing, and aligning with the natural cycles of the earth. 🌿✨

Starting now, it’s important to think about what no longer serves you and what you wish to release before the new season of growth begins. Consider the old goals, bad habits, or unhealthy relationships that might be weighing you down.

🔜One powerful way to clear the way for new energy is through a symbolic act of release. Write down anything that feels heavy or stagnant—old patterns or negative influences—on a piece of paper, and safely burn it. As the paper burns, speak words of release:

“I release what no longer serves me and make room for new growth.” Feel the energy of the flame consuming these past burdens, making space for renewal. Once you’ve let go of the old, it’s time to start focusing on what you want to bring into your life.

🌱 The Spring Equinox is also the season of planting, not just literal seeds, but the seeds of your intentions for the future. What are the new goals and desires that you want to nurture and grow? This is the perfect moment to plant the seeds of your future prosperity, protection, and spiritual growth. 🌻 In Hoodoo practices, herbs and roots are used to align your energy with protection and prosperity. A great way to start this process is by creating a protection mojo. Using ingredients like salt, rosemary, and bay leaves, you can craft a small bundle that will serve as both a spiritual shield and a reminder of your intentions for the year ahead. Carry this mojo with you or place it near your doorway to protect your space from negative energy. 🕯️

What is Mojo?

In Hoodoo, the term “mojo” most commonly refers to a charm or amulet, often in the form of a small bag or pouch. Our ancestors called them “prayers in a bag.” A mojo bag contains a variety of items such as herbs, roots, stones, coins, or other symbolic objects chosen for their energetic properties and frequencies. These items are selected based on specific needs. Mojo bags are typically carried on the person or placed in a sacred space. 

Another meaning of “mojo” is the personal power or spiritual energy that an individual possesses. This sense of mojo refers to an inner strength or charm that attracts good fortune, people, or opportunities. It is linked to a person’s ability to influence situations and others through their spiritual presence, confidence, and magnetism. In Hoodoo, maintaining and enhancing one’s mojo is often seen as crucial for personal success and spiritual well-being.

Mojo can also describe the energetic influence or effect that a Hoodoo working has. It refers to the power or result of a working or ritual that is designed to bring about a specific outcome. In this sense, mojo represents the active manifestation of energetic intent, a tangible force that works to transform a situation.



Lastly, in some cases, “mojo” may be used more casually to refer to the practice of Hoodoo itself. It can be a colloquial way of describing the work with roots, herbs, and other tools, particularly in relation to personal and protective workings. This use of mojo emphasizes the cultural connection to Hoodoo traditions and the empowerment that comes from practicing them.

Another activity to consider:

In addition, you may want to start a spiritual garden, whether that’s a small container garden with herbs like rosemary, basil, or mint, and place your written intentions in the ground. These plants will symbolize growth, protection, and renewal, and by nurturing them, you align your personal growth with the natural cycles of the earth. 🌿Place your intentions inside the pots or the ground to remind you that your desires are taking root, ready to bloom in the months to come.

As always! I hope this helps ! #newmoonritual #hoodoo #spirituality #rootwork
