Welcome to Making Hoodoo Lamps Master Class, where we explore the world of oil lamps in the practice of Hoodoo folk magick and conjure. In this course, we learn the art and science of working with oil lamps, shedding light on their historical significance and the diverse containers used to harness their magickal potential.

The use of oil lamps in Hoodoo folk magick is steeped in ancestral tradition and utility, drawing from ancient roots that span across time. These lamps are not merely sources of illumination; they are conduits that bridge the mundane and the spiritual. Hoodoo lamps offer practitioners a powerful means to manifest their intentions.

The creation of hoodoo oil lamps is a nearly forgotten art form, cherished only by a select group of rootworkers who continue to rely on these ancient devices for their spiritual practices. While oil lamps have largely faded from everyday use, those within the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora have preserved their knowledge of the powerful magick these lamps can invoke. Seasoned practitioners know that spirits respond more readily, and the outcomes of their rituals manifest with greater speed and completeness when employing an oil lamp rather than traditional candles.

In the Making Hoodoo Lamps Master Class, we carefully explore the physical aspects of oil lamps and their profound spiritual significance. Through the exploration of historical contexts and hands-on techniques, students gain a deep understanding of how these lamps serve as potent tools for channeling intentions and connecting with ancestral energies. As we honor the legacy of hoodoo oil lamps, we revive a timeless tradition and empower ourselves to manifest our desires with clarity, potency, and reverence. Enroll today to discover the ingenuity and cultural power of hoodoo lamp magick and gain a deeper understanding of cultural, symbolic, social, and historical aspects of African American and Creole spiritual traditions and folklore.
