The Spirit of Nat Turner

Episode 16

Saturday, October 3, 2026 • Duration 33:09

In honor of Hoodoo Heritage Month, we’re honoring the revolutionary spirit of Nat Turner: preacher, freedom fighter, and a figure deeply connected to Hoodoo and resistance.

In this episode, we get into Nat Turner’s “hot” nature and what it means to attempt to invoke a spirit associated with rebellion, justice, and liberation. We’ll also discuss why October 2nd is observed by some practitioners as a day to honor him, respectful ways to acknowledge his spirit, and how to approach powerful ancestral figures with intention and reverence.

Plus, we’re talking about ways you can celebrate Hoodoo Heritage Month by learning the history, honoring the ancestors, preserving our traditions, and remembering that Hoodoo WAS and continues TO BE, about more than roots and rituals.

What happens when the woman who was supposed to nurture you becomes the source of a wound you carry into adulthood?

We’re unpacking the signs, synchronicities, patterns, and experiences that can reveal how and why the motherwound develops, how it can shape the way we love, nurture, trust, receive, and even see ourselves, and what it means to finally acknowledge the parts of us that were affected by what Mama could, or couldn’t, give us.We’ll also explore motherhood beyond the physical, the spiritual and metaphysical meaning of the mother archetype, ancestral patterns, and what we really mean when we talk about generational curses.
