Welcome to Our New Blog!

It's long overdue, this we realize. But better late than never, or so the saying goes.

Welcome to our new blog!

Crossroads University was developed for the purpose of sharing the ancient wisdom and cultural traditions that have supported indigenous people for thousands of years. Specifically, we are dedicated to the observation and preservation of indigenous magickal, spiritual and cultural traditions found in the Southern United States with African and Native American roots. Collectively, these traditions are referred to by various names, including Hoodoo, Rootwork, Conjure and Spiritualism.

At Crossroads University, we pride ourselves on being a beacon of cultural preservation and education. Founded by the distinguished author and cultural anthropologist Denise Alvarado, our program is a gateway to understanding and preserving the rich folkways and spiritual traditions of the American South. In a world where technology often overshadows ancient wisdom, Crossroads University offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with these vital traditions. Our courses are designed for anyone with a genuine interest in learning—whether you are a student of the social sciences, a practitioner of folk traditions, or simply curious about the world around you. As the educational branch of the American Rootwork Association, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful learning environment where tradition and innovation meet.
