Genre: Non-Fiction/Cultural History

A groundbreaking exploration of Black women’s spiritual and healing traditions in America! 🔮 Lindsey Stewart traces 400 years of African American women’s magical practices, from rootwork and hoodoo to herbal medicine and divination, revealing how these traditions have shaped American culture in ways often overlooked or erased. This isn’t just history—it’s reclaiming a powerful legacy of resistance, survival, and cultural preservation. 💪

Stewart examines how enslaved African women brought their spiritual knowledge to America and adapted it to survive slavery’s horrors. 🌿 These women became healers, midwives, and spiritual leaders in their communities, blending African traditions with Indigenous knowledge and European practices to create distinctly American forms of magic and medicine. From conjure women in the antebellum South to contemporary practitioners keeping traditions alive, Black women’s magical practices have been both feared and sought after, demonized and appropriated. ⚡

The book explores specific practices: mojos and gris-gris bags for protection, root medicine for healing, divination for guidance, and the role of mermaids and water spirits in African diaspora traditions. 🧜🏾‍♀️ Stewart also addresses how these traditions have been stolen, commercialized, and whitewashed—from the appropriation of “smudging” to the wellness industry’s exploitation of traditional healing knowledge without acknowledgment or compensation. She celebrates practitioners who maintain authentic traditions while calling out cultural theft. 🎭

Here’s why this matters: 🌟 This book fills a crucial gap in understanding American history and culture. Black women’s spiritual traditions have been systematically excluded from mainstream narratives despite their profound influence. Stewart (a scholar and practitioner) brings both academic rigor and lived experience to this work, making it accessible while remaining deeply researched. She challenges readers to reconsider what they know about American spirituality, medicine, and magic—and to recognize the contributions of Black women who kept these powerful traditions alive despite centuries of suppression. The book is particularly timely given current conversations about cultural appropriation, the commercialization of spiritual practices, and the reclaiming of indigenous knowledge systems. Perfect for readers of Braiding Sweetgrass, Medical Apartheid, and anyone interested in African American history, women’s history, spirituality, or cultural studies. At $2.99, this is an incredible value for such important and illuminating work! Essential reading for understanding the magical traditions that helped Black women survive and resist, and continue to empower communities today. 💚
