It’s not just a matter of taste but a spiritual practice that traces back to the Gullah Geechee, the enslaved descendants of Western Central Africans who labored on the coastal rice, Sea Island cotton and indigo plantations across the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida.

But the Gullah Geechee had powerful Hoodoo defenses—from painting their homes to scattering rice and hanging brooms.
