That seems a bit silly. This is a practice that is tied to the very culture of African Americans, if you cannot mak the effort to reach out and make some friends in that community then why are you even trying to learn hoodoo? There are thousands of traditions out there? Why not something more local? Why not British cunningfolk? If however you want to learn hoodoo then immerse yourself in the culture, make friends, and then pick up the resources I have mentioned and look at the courses again.

These cults are ultimately communal and you work together with a spiritual family. <br /><br />That said, the dynamic is changing. For those interested in working with these spirits you need to seek out an authentic Tata or Yaya of Quimbanda who will read for you and see which of these spirits walk with you. If you get the green light from them then there are levels of involvement. The first which is without initiation is setting up a spiritual space for them just for the purposes of getting to know them and they you. The second level is a rite of licensing that allows you to actively work with them safely, and then finally initiation for those who want to become the priests and priestesses of these spirits. <br /><br />So no you don't have to get initiated, but you still need proper guidance and without initiation there is only so far you can go with them, limiting yourself to just inviting them in your life and not much active work. <br /><br />But again it is all about getting guidance. You don't go at this alone.

This was a great post, by the way. I am brazilian, and understand most of your references towards some of our traditions. Though I must say, quimbanda is not nearly as common as candomblé or umbanda - not as difused, that is. It lacks public exposure, unlike the latter.
