"Rootwork" is a term which refers to a wide body of knowledge which includes African-American folklore, Native American plant knowledge and European traditions. When Africans were brought to this country they soon discovered the plants they used in their folk magic were not to be found here. They asked the Native Americans about the magical properties of American plants and made substitutions. Over time this system of African folk magic absorbed some of the Christian, Jewish, and pagan folklore of European immigrants and became known as rootwork or hoodoo.
