Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on hoodoo, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for historian Yvonne Chireau's own quoted characterization of hoodoo as practiced alongside a separate religion rather than as a religion of its own, and for the article's documented history of botanicas and earlier mail-order pharmacies selling prepared spiritual supplies, distinct from Spiritual Bath's own existing Hurston and Hyatt-focused citations. Nothing about how any bath is prepared is drawn from it.
