Bio for Witchdoctor Utu

Witchdoctor Utu is an award-winning author, a diviner, founder of the Dragon Ritual Drummers, and curator of the Niagara Voodoo Shrine. Utu has been a sought-after presenter and performer in Canada and the United States since 2000. As himself or with the Dragon Ritual Drummers, he has headlined some of North America’s largest top-tier spiritual and mainstream folk festivals.

Utu resides in St. Catharines, Ontario, in the very neighborhood where Harriet Tubman brought her particular track of freedom through the Underground Railroad to its end. He has spent over twenty years immersed within the lore and conjure akin to the freedom seekers and their supporters that was the fraternity of the Underground Railroad, which resulted in his book published by Red Wheel/Weiser: “Conjuring Harriet ‘Mama Moses’ Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad.”

Throughout the year, Witchdoctor Utu continues to teach and share the conjure, history, and root work of the Underground Railroad in person and on virtual platforms, as well as serving the Babalawos of Ifa as an initiated drummer. He has been a long-time member and supporter of the New Orleans Voodoo Spiritual Temple.
