Hands of the Holy Root: Anointing Oils, Sacred Herbs, and the Working Faith of Hoodoo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276801834)

Hands of the Holy Root

Rootwork is more than folklore-it is the living intersection of faith and craft, prayer and power.

In Hands of the Holy Root, author T. L. Duncan opens the conjure cabinet to reveal the sacred tools of Hoodoo: anointing oils, sachet powders, herbs, Psalms, and prayers drawn from generations of working wisdom. From dressing candles and reading their flames to crafting tinctures, tonics, and protective oils, this volume bridges the old practices of African-American root doctors with the devotional heart of Biblical tradition.

Written in Duncan's signature blend of historical precision and spiritual prose, Hands of the Holy Root guides readers through the making and meaning behind every jar, bottle, and blessing. It is both a field manual for the modern practitioner and a love letter to the elders who worked by faith, by root, and by hand.

For those who believe that every prayer deserves a vessel, and every root remembers its name.
