Why We Bury Petitions in Hoodoo

1. To Root the Work

• The earth holds and grows energy. When you bury a petition, it’s like planting a seed.

• The roots and soil feed your intention so it becomes steady and long-lasting.

2. To Hide and Protect the Work

• The ground conceals your petition from prying eyes and spiritual interference.

• What’s buried is harder to undo or tamper with.

3. To Connect to Spirits and Ancestors

• Burial places — whether in your yard, by a tree, or at the crossroads… tie your prayer to spirit allies.

• In your yard or front step, it calls blessings into your home. At a crossroads, it hands your request to the spirit world to move obstacles.

4. To Anchor the Energy

• Paper and herbs left on the surface can blow away, scatter, or weaken.

• Burial makes your intention fixed — Saturn energy especially likes this because it rules structure and permanence.
