EP: 71 Hoodoo Saints, Root Warriors & the Work of Liberation w/ Mawiyah

In this powerful conversation, we’re joined by Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani—New Orleans-born writer, Priestess of OYA, Egun Medium, and 8th-generation spiritual practitioner—whose work lives at the crossroads of Hoodoo, liberation, and ancestral resistance.
We center her newest book, Hoodoo Saints and Root Warriors: Stories and Magick for Liberation (2025)—a spiritual war manual for navigating oppression, injustice, and survival through ancestral alignment and Hoodoo cosmology. Mawiyah breaks down how working with Hoodoo saints, rootwork, and ancestral forces becomes not just spiritual practice, but political, embodied liberation.
We also reflect on her contribution to the film Sinners, the urgency of spiritual tools in trying times, and how storytelling itself becomes spellwork.
We touch on her earlier work, Conjuring the Calabash: Empowering Women with Hoodoo Spells & Magick (2023)—a reclamation of womb wisdom, power, and protection for women across identities, including trans and queer women.
This episode is for those who know liberation isn’t theoretical—it’s ritual, remembrance, and refusal.

Ep: 70 Meditation As Ancestral Technology w/ Goddess Zee

Ep: 70 Meditation As Ancestral Technology w/ Goddess Zee
Meditation didn’t start with mindfulness apps or yoga studios.
It started with our indigenous ancestors.
In this episode of Holistic and Spiritual AF, Goddess Zee reclaims meditation as ancestral technology rooted in Afro-Indigenous wisdom.
We break down the difference between Western meditation and Indigenous meditation, and why that distinction matters for nervous system healing, intuition, and spiritual clarity.
In this episode, you’ll explore:• Meditation as a tool for nervous system regulation• Why stillness is a gateway, not a goal• How ancestors communicate through sensation, dreams, and inner knowing• Meditation as preparation for downloads and transmissions• Afro-Indigenous perspectives on portals, spirit realms, and cosmic lineage
This is not about emptying your mind.It’s about opening the channel.
