I like looking into things sometimes and I found out about High John the Conqueror and the imopea Jalapa.

I was curious if using the plant in a practice that is not voodoo and or hoodoo is okay. And I was also curious if drawing the plant and or drawing a character using the plant as an ingredient in something mundane and or spiritual and or magical is okay? Would anything happen at all if if one were to do that?

Purely out of curiosity: Would anything happen if a white person were to try and to pray to him at all? I remember reading that a practionor said that if a white person were to do that they would end up very hurt and or killed / dead because of the spirit.

Can one use roots in their own practices(that is not hoodoo and or voodoo)? Or is that exclusively to those practices? Would something happen if one were to do that?

Some religious and occult systems do have strict protocol.....but Plant medicine is ancient......best not to project are cultural prejudices onto forests and the overarching spirit ecosystem. If your interested in plant medicine, do your research and learn how to handle the substances accordingly. There are many good books on the topic, the one's below may be a place to start.

I've worked magickally with Trees for a long time.....and its always been a blast. Take note that plants are "conscious" and spirits in there own right. Approach them with healthy intent.
