Questions About the Subjects
What are the 7 subjects of rootwork?
The 7 core subjects of Gullah Geechee rootwork are: Physical Healing (herbal folk medicine for body and spirit), Uncrossing (removing jinxes and crossed conditions), Justice & Court (root work for legal outcomes and fair treatment), Protection (guarding home, family, and spirit from harm), Prosperity (drawing money and building lasting wealth), Love & Reconciliation (attracting love and sweetening relationships), and Hexing & Crossing (reversal, binding, and returning enemy energy to its source). Each subject carries its own roots, herbs, rituals, and ancestral practitioners.
Can I work more than one rootwork subject at the same time?
Yes. Rootwork subjects often overlap in practice — a crossed condition (uncrossing) may be the cause of blocked prosperity, and a protection working frequently accompanies love or court work. Experienced root doctors read the full situation before prescribing a single subject. Auntie Root's consultation draws on all 7 subjects to address your condition as a whole.
Is rootwork tied to a specific religion or belief system?
Rootwork — also called hoodoo or conjure — is a practical spiritual tradition, not a religion. It emerged from the blending of West and Central African spiritual practices, Indigenous American plant knowledge, and European folk magic in the context of enslaved Black life in the American South, particularly the Gullah Geechee Sea Islands of South Carolina and Georgia. Practitioners have historically been Christian, as well as practitioners of other African diaspora traditions. Rootwork does not require initiation or conversion — it requires knowledge, intent, and respect for the tradition.
