Y’all still celebrate these days:gucci:


There is a rumor that Hoodoo has no holidays.​

To the outsider, it certainly seems that way. Not unlike other traditions that have been syncretized within the church, our Hoodoo ways have often taken christian cover.​

Specific workings, celebrations, and rituals that honored the dead in mass could find cover in cities with a significant catholic presence. Making All Saints Day no exception to being used as a mask for another cultural practice.​

In our tradition, All Saints Day is a Hoodoo Celebration of the Dead.​

In the northern hemisphere, late October - early November holds the most holidays yielding to mass cultural celebrations in honor of the other side of life; from Dia de los Muertos, to Ghede, to All Saints Day.​

All Saints Day, held on November 1st, is a day where our ancestors and elders would go to their local Black cemetery and clean up, decorate gravesites of their beloveds, hold service, then go on to close out the day with a community banquet.​

This tradition is especially found in areas with significant Catholic presence, where Black people socially integrated their Hoodoo beliefs under a catholic calendar. Some other Black churches of other denominations, and Black Cemetery Associations, have a history of recognizing All Saints Day.​
