About Geechee Mama Candles
What is Geechee Mama Candles?
What is Geechee Mama Candles?

What does “Hoodoo-made” or “Hoodoo-inspired” mean?
What does “Hoodoo-made” or “Hoodoo-inspired” mean?
My products are made through the tradition of Hoodoo, a sacred spiritual system that I was born into. I don’t just “draw inspiration”; I practice what was passed down through my bloodline. That means my candles are prayed over, fixed by hand, and charged with intention using real techniques.
You are not practicing Hoodoo by lighting one but you are receiving the benefits of something crafted by someone with the spiritual right to do this work.
Spiritual & Cultural Integrity
Does Geechee Mama teach Hoodoo?
Does Geechee Mama teach Hoodoo?
No. Hoodoo is not a free-for-all trend or aesthetic. It is a closed practice rooted in lineage and lived experience. I don’t teach spells or offer “how-to” classes. I offer fixed tools made from my own ancestral connection.
How can you sell Hoodoo products if Hoodoo is a closed practice?
How can you sell Hoodoo products if Hoodoo is a closed practice?
Because it’s mine. Hoodoo is my inheritance. My ancestors worked these roots, crafted spiritual tools, and served their communities for generations. I carry that tradition through my work, not to gatekeep, but to preserve. You are not buying into Hoodoo; you are purchasing a tool fixed through it.
Do I need to be Black to use your products?
Do I need to be Black to use your products?
No but you do need to come with respect. Anyone can light a candle, pray with intention, and set goals. But this is sacred work. It’s not cosplay. Using a candle fixed by a real practitioner is about aligning with that energy and honoring where it comes from.
What if someone else makes similar candles but isn’t from the culture?
What if someone else makes similar candles but isn’t from the culture?
Replicating the outer parts of a tradition doesn’t give it spiritual weight. You’ll see others adding glitter, herbs, or labels but the difference is in the rootwork. If it didn’t come through blood and bone, it’s decoration. Not power.
Product Info
What ingredients are in your candles?
What ingredients are in your candles?
Our candles are made with:
- Natural coconut apricot wax
- Wood wicks for that soft crackle and clean burn
- Premium fragrance & essential oils
- Glitter for color, not wax dye
- Hand-ground herbs that have been ritually prepared and infused into the glitter
- Some may include if spiritually appropriate for the ritual
Do your candles have visible herbs or crystals?
Do your candles have visible herbs or crystals?
Not always. Some do, and some don’t because it depends on the intention. Everything I use has been fixed in the process with care and purpose. Nothing is random. Nothing is for show. Glitter is used intentionally to carry ground herbs, it’s not for sparkle, it’s for Spirit.
Are your products safe and eco-conscious?
Are your products safe and eco-conscious?
Yes. I use phthalate-free fragrance oils, clean-burning wax, and reusable packaging where possible. I’m intentional about ingredients that honor both our ancestors and the Earth.
