HOODOO MAYN [hooh'-dooh mah'eehn] is defined as 'Hoodoo Nation'
Watch the new film HOODOO by Odwirafo below:
Aakhuamuman Amaruka Atifi Mu, the Akwamu Nation in North America, welcomed the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) community to our tenth annual HOODOO MAYN - Hoodoo Nation Festival which took place on October 26, 13025 (2024). Our focus is restoring the consciousness of Akan Ancestral Identity as Hoodoo in family blood-circles, culture and ritual preserved in North america for centuries. Nationbuilding/Restoration is rooted in this, our spiri-genetic inheritance.
HOODOO MAYN is the only festival of its kind, celebrating and examining our Akan Ancestral Religion as brought to North america in the spiri-genetic blood-circles of our Akan Ancestresses and Ancestors and maintained by us, their descendants, to this day. It was through Hoodoo that we were guided and empowered to heal ourselves, educate ourselves, sustain ourselves, train ourselves, wage war against the whites and their offspring and force the end of enslavement in North america. It is through Hoodoo that Akan people in North america today will complete our Revolutionary-Resolutionary function of Amansesew, Nationbuilding/Restoration, as a component of the larger collective of Odwiraman, Purified Nation - Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) in the Western hemisphere.
At HOODOO MAYN we have presentations on various aspects of the Hoodoo Religion from an authentic Ancestrally inherited Akan perspective. We also have our EGUA - Marketplace wherein attendees shop with our vendors and learn about our Akan Ancestral Religious Heritage in North america through ritual, presentations, literature, art, food, music and handmade products.
This year held a virtual conference. We invited everyone to watch the documentary film by Odwirafo - HOODOO: Akan Ancestral Religion in North America. We hosted a panel discussion on the themes examined in the film. See the presentation and discussion below:
