By Psalm Alchemy
Anoint. Align. Attract.
For many who first come across Psalm Alchemy, a question bubbles quietly beneath the surface:
“Isn’t it wrong to mix Psalms with Hoodoo?”
Or more directly:
“Isn’t that sacrilegious?”
We get it.
The concern is real, and it’s rooted in love for the sacred—love for God, for the Bible, and for spiritual truth. But here's the truth most people were never taught: Psalms and Hoodoo have always walked hand-in-hand—not in rebellion against God, but in deep dependence on divine power.
Let’s Get Something Straight: Hoodoo Is Not Witchcraft
First, let’s define the soil from which Psalm Alchemy grows.
Hoodoo is a system of folk spirituality deeply rooted in the African American experience. It is not a religion. It is a practice—a collection of spiritual tools, traditions, and wisdom passed down by ancestors who had no choice but to survive in a world that stripped them of language, land, and freedom.
Those ancestors clung to what they had: the Bible.
And within the pages of that Bible, they found power, justice, healing, and protection. Especially in the Book of Psalms.
Psalms became a spiritual sword in the hands of the oppressed—used not just for comfort, but for command. They prayed Psalm 35 to confuse enemies. Psalm 91 for protection. Psalm 23 for provision. They didn’t wait for Sunday service—they made every day a sacred encounter.
So when you use Psalm 91 while anointing your doors, or chant Psalm 37:4 while bathing in a Love Attract bath, you’re not disrespecting the word of God. You’re activating it.
So Why Do People Think It’s Wrong?
The fear that combining Psalms with oils, candles, or rituals is “wrong” usually comes from one of three places:
-
Religious Misunderstanding:
Many churches have been taught to fear anything outside traditional doctrine. But just because something isn’t done in Sunday service doesn’t mean it’s evil. Anointing oil is in the Bible. So is incense. So is spiritual bathing. So are Psalms. -
Colonial Brainwashing:
Our ancestors were taught to abandon their native spiritual practices, and anything that looked or felt “African” was demonized. Hoodoo is one of the few surviving systems that preserved ancestral wisdom while blending with Biblical text—not against God, but with God. -
Lack of Knowledge:
Most people have never been taught how the Psalms were historically used. They think chanting scripture outside of church is somehow forbidden—but in truth, the Psalms are songs of power meant to be spoken, sung, and lived out in everyday life.
