Rootwork & Foot Washing

Listen, sometimes life got you feelin’ like you walkin’ through straight-up mud, right? Mess comin' at you from every angle, folks throwin' shade, and it feels like you just can’t catch a break. But lemme put you on game real quick—*foot washing* in Hoodoo ain't no joke. This ain’t just some cute lil’ spa day. We talkin' spiritual realignment, protection, and dominance out here.


### Why Foot Washing?


First off, them feet? That’s your foundation. That’s where all your power travels through. You can have your head straight, but if your feet ain't right, you ain’t grounded. In Hoodoo, we ain’t playin'—when you wash somebody’s feet, or better yet, have your feet washed, it’s a whole act of humility and protection. But get this: it’s also about dominion. Foot washing has roots in the Bible, sure, but we took that and flipped it in the South, in them Hoodoo traditions. When you get your feet washed, or you out here washing someone else’s, you claiming control over your path.


### When You Need That Power Wash


If you been feelin’ heavy, like them streets been weighin’ you down, or if folks out here throwin' you bad juju, this is the move. Got enemies? Boom, foot wash. You tryna block somebody’s evil eye? Boom, foot wash. Got spiritual dirt clingin’ to you like a bad ex? Boom. You already know.


You can also do this work to open your roads. Let’s say you got goals, but things keep gettin' in the way—money funny, love life dry, job stress through the roof. A proper foot wash clears that out, opens your pathways, and gets you movin’ in the right direction again.


### How to Do It


Here’s what you need:


- **Warm water** – Water carries energy, remember that. We ain’t just talking H2O. This is flow, movement, and life itself.

- **Herbs** – I’m talkin’ bout them power plants like Rue, Hyssop, and even some Salt to cut them bad vibes.

- **Florida Water or Holy Water** – You need that spiritual kick to cleanse all the mess out your life.

- **A white towel** – Keep it clean, keep it simple, but most importantly, you gonna dry your feet on this towel and keep that energy close.


Start by soaking them feet. Say your prayers, speak your intentions. If it’s for protection, call on that. If you tryna break some ties or open roads, you gotta speak it into the water. That water? It’s your messenger. It’s gonna carry your prayers and power.


Once you done washing, take that water and toss it outside—away from your house, ‘cause we don’t want none of that negative energy stickin' around.


### Foot Washing for Others


If you out here washing someone else's feet, you better be real about your role. You takin' on their burdens and helping them cleanse, but remember—this also gives you power. It’s a give and take, baby. When you kneelin' to wash someone’s feet, you dominatin’ their path, and you clearin' the way for them (or for yourself if you tryna flip the script). That’s how we do.


### Final Word


Hoodoo foot washing ain't somethin' to sleep on. It’s deep-rooted in our ancestors’ ways, and it carries serious weight. When life got your feet heavy, and you just tryna step into your full power—whether that’s money, love, or just peace of mind—foot washing is that move. You cleansing yourself and gettin' ready to step out and claim what’s yours.


So, what you waitin' on? Get your feet right, and watch how fast you level up.
