These different cultural practices, which were religious by nature, got assimilated into Catholicism thereby bringing up a culture that incorporated most of the traditional cultural practices in the land of slavery. In the opening of the book, “I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem,” Hoodoo is a term that is come from the malpractice of the acceptable in the context of the whites voodoo. This term is associated with the practice of magical powers, sorcery, and greatly associated with the casting of spells and interaction with evil powers: the powers of the dark places. I n the book, Tituba gives a vivid description of how she learnt the practice of hoodoo. In the frames of her mind, this practice in the African context was a nice practice that brought remedies to a multitude of problems. She recalls how she was taught by mama Yaya how to put herbs into use to loosen the tongues of thieves, to heal epilates, to cast a way evil spirits from an evil possessed person. She was further taught how to use the same African herbs to give hope to the hopeless, to put words of hope to the tongues of the hungry, to give faith the faithless, and to remove suicidal thoughts from the desperate and further to give hope to the destitute. In modern times, the practice of hoodoo is interpreted as a primitive practice that was popular to the African-American women and commonly practiced in the South. This is viewed as a form of superstition that delude the minds of people and that gives people misguided directions. In the traditional African culture and the onset of Christianity incorporated the practice of divinity that were mutually exclusive. The solemn religious practice of evoking nature emanated from a keen study and a common understanding between nature and its close relationship with human life. The practice of hoodoo is a religious art that was endowed to different people in the society from person to person. However, there was no special category of people that were given specific roles to be playing within the whole context of that religion. There was also no specific person that was destined to be the natural practitioners of hoodoo in the community. The critics of this religious practice however stand strong against this practice and they decides to kill the custodian of this practice: mama Yaya as she was in the mission of transmitting this practice to the upcoming generation. She is put to death while teaching Tibula the art of bringing remedies to most problems that enslaves people in life. This tries to make the practice of the traditional hoodoo to an end but this does not succeed because its transmission is nurtured by nature and its decline or termination takes something more than human mind and thought. The word “hoodoo” is misinterpreted and given a negative perception to mean evil practice: a thing that Maryse Conde considers a prejudice view and a misperception directed by egocentric thought. She attacks this wrong perception about the solemn African practice by casting positive light to its understanding. She strongly demystifies the myth and logically seeks for logical approach to hoodoo in the context of all ages. In her explanations, she defines the word “witch”: a word that has its origin from the Anglo-SAXON word “wicca” which denotes a wise person or a person with metaphysical capabilities.
