everyone in these comments didnt pass the vibe check….. Herbalism has been a practice for centuries before we could run to CVS for advil and medicine. This is a strong centuries old lineage. I have nothing but respect for Hoodoo, Voodoo, and religions
@@jlb127 Yes indeed! I typically visit on a monthly basis (I'm 45 mins away) and the vibe is always on point. I love how they always revamp the floorplan which makes it so that each visit is always different from the one before!
This is a beautiful. I've followed Jessyka for a while now, through her teachings I've grown to understand and appreciate Voodoo. A very spiritual, very intuitive, very grounded practice that is often villianized and terrorized by those who don't care to understand.
What is her channel called? I’d love to hear more about how they incorporate it into their daily routines. It was sweet how meaningful this is for them. It was very touching.
And the one's now taking over - coopting and corrupting our Afrikan Ancestral Spiritual/Religious traditions to claim they are the authorities in our traditions.
Great. But their spiritual practices and yours are both false. No matter the wrong they did to your ancestors, doesn't make your ancestors' falsehoods suddenly true... We have a method that explains the causes and effects of molecules such as pharmodynamics and pharmokinetics known as the scientific method. Voodoo doesn't, nor does Christianity. Follow facts and science. Not some mythical belief with no basis in reality (and having a basis in herbology doesn't prove the false belief system either).
And that's what people don't get. That it's a way of life. Obeah is and was the practice in the west indies and Guyana and many of the people who see it as evil don't realize that the way they cook and clean and even speak, many of their superstitions and child rearing practices and their natural leaning towards plant medicine, is part of that practice...no evil there..
Voodoo is very similar to Candomblé here in Brazil, they have the same roots but organized in a different way. I'd like to know more about Voodoo in US.
Beautiful short delving into the hidden world of Voodoo. I love hearing about the practice and have always felt connected to New Orleans since I visited in 2015.
Hey! The Priestess! Right on. It’s good to see her. God bless her. (She’s the best). BEST APOTHECARY IN THE WORLD! The world needs more Wombmen like these ladies. Divine and attuned.
The only women I know who know wear silk tigñon scarves tied with 7 knots are Mambó. It's a really interesting part of the culture to me and so beautiful!
This is fantastic. It would be awesome if the people who added the music didn’t show their own prejudice by having such negative music in the background. This could have been portrayed in a much more neutral way.
Hoodoo voodoo that you do! This explanation is truly captivating and brings such depth to the understanding of Voodoo. It’s rare and inspiring to witness Voodoo depicted as a lifestyle woven with threads of nature, ancestry, and sacred connections, moving far beyond the usual misunderstandings. The way you describe plants and their spirits adds layers of meaning to natural healing and medicine, sparking an entirely new appreciation. Thank you for unveiling these insights and broadening how we perceive such ancient wisdom!
better late than never! i gave up on church in my late teens and i'm almost 50. it's not a contest. Enlightenment comes slowly for some. be Kind about it or you're just repeating the judgment of the church you left less than a decade ago... Namaste 🙏
@Amani-0047 it means they’re behind the trend. I’m grateful for the great return to Traditional AFRICAN Religious Systems, but it’s not just Voodoo. It’s Hoodoo, Ifa, Lucumi, Nkisi, Santaria, Candomble - it’s a paradigm shift entirely, since 2016 exactly so if the goal is to keep up with Black spiritual trends - this article is behind the ball.
I thank you for ancestral knowledge ancestors, of how to use the Earth to heal and use it for myself an dothers. keep teaching me ancestors of America, I am from this land. Thank you I am eternally grateful. Ase'
Interesting and beautiful, it's a connection to nature and the spirit world. However, as there is good there is also evil and there are some people who try to manipulate this energy to their advantage.
No religion is all sunshine and roses. There absolutely are negative aspects that make you submit to the mantids. Many people have come to the same conclusion. For example, animal sacrifice.
I'm interested in hearing about the perspective I read toted, that voodoo is a closed practice, but when painted in this broader sense shown, it seems no different from any ancestral spiritual practice around the world, making offerings and honoring ancestors, this is done in pre-abrahamic spiritualities all over the world. So my question is: is voodoo a specific kind of closed practice, or is it just a word to describe the ancestral spirituality practiced by a specific group of people? If people in Peru, Ireland, or Japan honor their ancestors in such similar manners, is it really any different? Only using different herbs, different rituals, different names, but the meaning is the same at all of their core. I only say this to say, all people on earth share this common relation if we go back far enough to our roots, before the colonialism and brainwashing of missionaries around the world.
Let your ancestors rest - you were enough to deal with in the waking life. Throw away your pitiful faith in physical mediums and connect to source only through prayer and confession, or face the price of the unholy ghost's you collect.

@@vinnyguerrero5067 take some hemlock
Why so defensive, sonny? Something bothering you?
Same 🙏🏾
Modern medicine is also why humans have a long life expectancy.
@Cara-380 correct
Wow! That voodoo herbal apothecary is incredible. I’ve never seen anything like that, what a beautiful spiritual practise.
you need to go. I went my first time there last year and the energy is amazing. You just feel like your floating in water. her place is amazing!!!!
@@jlb127 Yes indeed! I typically visit on a monthly basis (I'm 45 mins away) and the vibe is always on point. I love how they always revamp the floorplan which makes it so that each visit is always different from the one before!
New Orleans is such a beautifully spiritual place. You can quite literally feel it in the air there

a big cause of that are the movies
Oh wow what a beautiful documentary. Need an hour of this
💯
Need a full special on this
Yeeees as a Student and Practitioner of Rootwork, this touched my heart. I'm humbly a student FOREVER.
Herbs are medicine so it's nice to learn
The people that taught us our spiritual practices are evil are the same ones who put us in chains.
And the one's now taking over - coopting and corrupting our Afrikan Ancestral Spiritual/Religious traditions to claim they are the authorities in our traditions.
Exactly!!! I wish more ppl could comprehend this🥺
Great. But their spiritual practices and yours are both false. No matter the wrong they did to your ancestors, doesn't make your ancestors' falsehoods suddenly true...

And created Christian Nationalism.
But benefitted and profited from our knowledge of medicinal healing.
I’m Haitian and Jamaican- I’m very happy Obeah and Voudon is in my culture.
Lucky!❤
And that's what people don't get. That it's a way of life.

Voodoo is very similar to Candomblé here in Brazil, they have the same roots but organized in a different way. I'd like to know more about Voodoo in US.
Candomble is similar to Voodoo, as is Santeria and other "Hispanic" practices. The same can be said of Carribean food.
The one in Louisiana is mostly called Hoodoo and it’s practice comes from the Wolof Senegalese slaves shipped to Louisiana during the slave trade.
@@capeverdeanprincess4444 in Brazil we also have the Umbanda, thats is more mixed with other religions, also similar to voodoo. Or hoodoo.
Vodou and Haiti is the Mother of it all
They are not "Hispanic" at all. It all comes from enslaved people aka Africans@@deed5049
i have the utmost respect for people who connect with plants and herbs like this. being so connected to the earth and spirits is such a gift
love to see Jess getting even more recognition! been following her for YEARS now and she's still amazing !
It’s not a renaissance. It’s been going on. It never stopped. Y’all just didn’t know bc there was no TikTok. And I hate that for my city.
So beautifully presented. Simply beautiful. Ashe.
Holy is holy no matter what you name it
Omg! I've been following her Instagram for years! Congratulations on the interview to talk about your work!!🎉🎉
This is a beautiful story ❤
I love her. I've never visited her but I follow her on instagram. She's very smart and shares a lot of her knowledge with the community.
Beautiful short delving into the hidden world of Voodoo. I love hearing about the practice and have always felt connected to New Orleans since I visited in 2015.
Thank you sending love all way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

Jessyka's shop is amazing❤ and so necessary our community.
Isn’t it in a white neighborhood?
@Alexa-uk8lj it's in the city of New Orleans.
This was beautiful.
This is fantastic. It would be awesome if the people who added the music didn’t show their own prejudice by having such negative music in the background. This could have been portrayed in a much more neutral way.
What a lovely video. Wish it was a little longer and more in-depth.
I needed this 🖤 thank you
New Orleans is a truly special place. This was insightful 🍻
Excellent. Would love to see more about this.
So interesting and I loved the filming!
Fantastic! And finally!
So glad I watched this. What a beautiful practice. Thank you
The culture is coming back
I was at her store 3 weeks ago. Such a beautiful, magical shop.

We left the church & picked up our cookbooks in 2016. This story is late 😂😂

BLESSINGS..... GREAT SHORT DOC!
My people are from the New Orleans area. I grew up with so much respect for this culture. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this story ❤
Thank you!
I thank you for ancestral knowledge ancestors, of how to use the Earth to heal and use it for myself an dothers. keep teaching me ancestors of America, I am from this land. Thank you I am eternally grateful. Ase'
Wonderfully expressed and explained. Thank you for this prism.
Beautiful video 👏🏾🙌🏾

Voodoo is a way of life.❤
I love BBC
I practice ❤😂😂😂this is beautiful 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm a Christian but I find Voodoo, and New Orleans to be very interesting
🎉 Dont go there. That is Devilry and Witchcraft 🎉
Powerful!
Great little film. I would have liked it to have been a bit longer to learn more about the people and traditions.
Thanks for the education!
BBC IS NOT EDUCATION
ITS PROPAGANDA AND BRAINWASHING
Jess is one of my favorites. Is there a full episode!?!
Ase’ 🙏🏽🧘🏾♀️💭🫀⚖️🪶 thankful for our ancestors✨✨🫶🏽✨✨
This is such a beautiful piece... wish it was longer
Beautiful
This is such a beautiful video

V cool story, thank you
Sharing!❤
Thank you goddess
I love this ❤️✨
Where we watch the full documentary
I so badly want to visit New Orleans one day
BEAUTIFUL!!!! is alquemy with Gaia
beautiful to worship ancestry
Erzulie Freda is the Voudo similarity to Osun
Right she mentioned Oshun i was a little concerned
No religion is all sunshine and roses. There absolutely are negative aspects that make you submit to the mantids. Many people have come to the same conclusion. For example, animal sacrifice.
So just like anything whatever you put your energy into you get, negative or positive
Jessyka’s candles🕯️ are the truth
Voodoo isnt all like the movies ... its more root magic n family deities ...its like a missing link in living magic ...
🎉 Its Demon worship 🎉😊
@ezekielmcville5101 I'm sure it seems that way to westernised Christian minds ..
This is Ancestry
Calf worshiping ancestry
Wish they could've added High Prist Robi Gilmore
Blessed be
I'm so tired of these short videos on the things I love.
