A THREAD: #HOODOO - One of the most shocking moments in #PValley has been the realization that Diamond is a rootworker. His removal of trauma from Mercedes’ right shoulder in 202 “7lbs of pressure” has caused quite the stir — but there have been signs from jump. 
In 103 Diamond grandaddy’s old-school remedy of crushed pepper and alcohol to take out muscle soreness is straight from Zora Neale Hurston’s seminal work Mules and Men. #PValley #hoodoo
Diamond’s carnelian necklace was made from the stone of a friend who died in Iraq. A bomb killed his friend, he survived. A PTSD victim, he wore this lucky charm until he gave it to Keyshawn for strength. #Hoodoo 101 - the objects of the dead are EXTREMELY powerful… #PValley
To me, Diamond’s release of negative energy from Mercedes’ shoulder on a Satday night aint no different from a pastor helping saints get “happy” on a Sunday morning #PValley
#Hoodoo is not an inherently evil practice, in fact many born in the South practice it w/o even knowing. I still put black-eyed peas wrapped in foil in my purse erry New Year’s Eve. ‘Sposed to draw money to you… YSL ain’t been dry since… #Pvalley
The fact that our ancestors brought their spiritual practices and beliefs to this country, merging them with their knowledge of the earth in order to survive, is a testament to our resilience and our Africanness. We are a powerful, MAGICAL people. #PValley
