ROOTS IN THE HOODOO COMMUNITY
For over a decade, Magickal Lady Duchess has been one of the most influential voices in the Hoodoo and conjure revival movement.
Her work is marked by:✔ Oral Tradition Preservation
Ninekia was raised in a lineage shaped by her great-great-grandmother Verna Mae Morris Prophet and her great-aunt Sarah, born in 1927, whose stories, kitchen practices, superstitions, and prayers form the spiritual backbone of both Ninekia’s life and her books.
✔ Education & Community Leadership
Through her store MLD Holistic Healing LLC, she has taught tens of thousands through:
Apprenticeship programs
Rootwork intensives
Abundance Groups
Life coaching & spiritual coaching
Public rituals, ancestor work, and healing circles
Her teachings emphasize self-discipline, sovereignty, accountability, and cultural truth, making her a sought-after guide in the African American spiritual community.
✔ Revival of Hoodoo Material Culture
Ninekia is known for revitalizing:
Traditional oils (Van Van, Crown of Success, Road Opener, etc.)
Ancestral recipes
Handmade washes, powders, and condition oils
Monthly ritual kits
Candle magick as taught through Southern rootworker lines
Her products and rituals are deeply respected for their craftsmanship, accuracy, and ancestral integrity.
✔ Public Speaker & Cultural Interpreter
With a powerful online presence, Ninekia explains Hoodoo from a place of cultural authority, not sensationalism — teaching that Hoodoo is:
“The story of our survival.
The language our ancestors left behind.
A living, breathing practice rooted in Black Southern experience.”
She advocates for authenticity, ethical spirit work, and the restoration of ancestral practices stripped away by colonization and assimilation.
