Ring ShoutUniversity

Come as you are. Leave knowing more than when you arrived. Ring Shout University is where African American Southern Hoodoo tradition is taught the way it was always meant to be taught. With depth. With history. With love for the work. Pick what calls to you. Go at your own pace. There is something here for wherever you are in your journey.
What This Is Come Sit Down. Let’s Learn. Think of this like sitting down with somebody who actually knows the work and is willing to teach it to you properly. Not rush you. Not gatekeep you. Just teach you. You pick what you want to focus on most. You add more as you get hungry for it. And every single lesson is rooted in the real tradition, taught with the history it deserves. Nothing here is borrowed from outside the tradition. No New Age content. No generic spirituality. Just the real work, taught the right way, with full respect for where it comes from. What is taught here has always been taught. We just gave it a proper home.

All students are trained to operate with discipline, discernment, ethical responsibility, and spiritual authority. Understanding comes before performance. History belongs in the lesson.

Not Sure Where To Start? Not Sure? Just Ask. Honey, there is no wrong door here. Pick something that excites you and start. Every lesson stands on its own. If you want guidance, we have a recommended order of learning for each path that will help the work build on itself naturally. And if you are confused, overwhelmed, or simply do not know where to begin, reach out. That is not a weakness. That is wisdom. We have support available for questions along the way, and the door is always open if you need a real conversation.
Degree Programs Four Ways To Walk The Work.
The Foundation Path Foundations of Spiritual Study Where You Begin 60 Course Hours The foundation everything else is built on. This is where you learn to cleanse, protect, recognize, and begin to understand what you are actually working with. Perfect if you are just starting out or if you want to make sure your ground is solid before you go deeper.
The Practitioner Path Active Spiritual Practice Where You Work 120 Course Hours This is where the work gets real. You start doing it, not just studying it. Cleansings, readings, money work, love work, protection, spiritual diagnosis. By the time you walk out of this path you are not just knowledgeable. You are capable.
The Authority Path Spiritual Authority & Leadership Where You Lead 36 to 48 Course Hours For the one who is ready to go all the way in. Complex cases. Generational Ancextral work. Spiritual warfare. Teaching others. Leading. This path is for the practitioner who knows what they are doing and is ready to carry more. It is serious work and it is beautiful work.
The Legacy Path Spiritual Systems & Legacy Work Where You Build For Generations Original body of work required For the one who is not just called to practice but called to leave something behind. Original work. A contribution to the tradition. Teaching. Building. The people who walk this path become part of what the tradition passes forward. That is a sacred thing.
Core Curriculum A Good Place To Begin. These eight lessons are the ground everything else grows from. You do not have to start here but if you are unsure where to begin, this is a beautiful place to land. Each one teaches you something that will make the next thing you study feel more natural. Think of it like clearing the land before you plant.

Certification Programs You Did The Work. Here Is The Record. When you complete a certification track, you get something that says you did it. That matters. It is a record of your study, your time, and your commitment to the tradition. But we want to be clear with you: the real certification to do this work has always come from Spirit. It does not come from a piece of paper or a title. Spirit certifies you through your practice, your lineage, your integrity, and the results you get. What we give you honors your study. What Spirit gives you honors your work. Both are real. One just goes a little deeper.

“Every elder who ever sat somebody down and taught them something real is in these lessons somewhere. That is the tradition. That is what this is.”
The Gate Is Open. Step through. The lessons are here, the tradition is real, and you are welcome exactly as you are. Start with what calls to you. Ask questions when you have them. Come back as many times as the work brings you back. The gate is always open.
