Hey, beautiful souls—I’m Yayi Joyce. Who the heck are you? Just kidding.
Seriously, though, I love it when folks introduce themselves and get connected. Hoodoo is a community practice, and I want this to feel like a porch you can pull up a chair to. Leave a comment or send a message—your presence and engagement matter in spaces like this.
I live on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia—what used to be the countryside, now slowly being turned into “Metro Atlanta.” I’ve been writing about Ancestors, Low-Country Hoodoo, and Rootwork since the early 2000s. Right now, I’m working on one (maybe two) books, and nothing brings me more peace than the scent of old bookstores or spending time in my garden during fall and spring.
My primary focus these days is Hoodoo Bible Study and teaching Hoodoo Bible & Playing Cards Divination. These practices are sacred to me, and I love passing on these ways to those who are called to the sacred ways of listening, remembering, and being Ancestral guided. You can subscribe to the Hoodoo Healing Newsletter for exclusive content like devotional series, essays, spiritual reflections, and insights I don’t share anywhere else. When I write, imagine us sitting on the porch, with iced green tea in hand, talking about spirit, Ancestors, Rootwork, and everyday Black sacred life.
I was born and raised in a Low Country Hoodoo family. Over the years, I’ve lived in New York and various parts of the Southeast, but the Low Country will always be home. My writing is grounded in that inheritance. And thank you for sharing this experience!
