Abstract
This senior project of two parts, the first being a research paper regarding Hoodoo, an African Diasporic Religion and syncretic ethnoreligious practice hailing from the enslaved and their descendants across the Antebellum South, and the second being an autoethnographic narrative detailing glimpses of my experience with earth-honoring spiritualist practice encountered through my tenure as a youth apprentice and volunteer at both the Hattie Carthan Community Garden and the Hattie Carthan Herban Farm, I interrogate the spiritual technologies used by Black people across time to seek protection, healing and connection to the divine through land stewardship, herbalism, and spiritual agrarianism.
