Description

"Working Conjure is a blessing. With the increasing commodification of African American and African Diasporic traditions, books about our practices that are simple, direct, and useful seem few and far between. Hoodoo Sen Moise manages to balance a solid delivery on the practice of Conjure with just enough theory to create a foundation to do this spiritual work—which is not, as he also reminds us, spiritual easy—and to continue the work given to us by our ancestors to heal each other and the world we share."—Mambo Chita Tann, author of Haitian Vodou Conjure, also known as Hoodoo or Rootwork, is an old and powerful system of North American folk magic. Its roots derive primarily from West and Central African spiritual traditions but it developed during the slave trade and its purpose at that time was to help ease the terrible oppression experienced by the slaves. Working Conjure explores the history, culture, principles, fundamentals, and ethics of Conjure, while simultaneously serving as a practical how-to guide for actually doing the work. Author Hoodoo Sen Moise has been a practitioner for nearly forty years. In Working Conjure, his first book, he shares the techniques and lessons that will bring Hoodoo alive to those who are new to the practice as well as useful and enlightening information for the adept. In the book he:Explores the primary materials used in ConjureFeatures spells, rituals, and workings for various purposesGuides readers to learn how to bring this profound school of magic to life “Conjure,” writes Hoodoo Sen Moise, “is not a religion or spiritual path, per se, but rather magic/spiritual work that is done to bring about change in a situation. Whether that situation is a relationship, money, a job, revenge, healing, or cleansing, the fundamental tenet of Conjure is to do work that changes the circumstance.” Read more

    • Knowledgeable and Comprehendable: Worthy of any Personal Library
Format: Paperback
This is a well written book that with each chapter gives true praise to 35 years of experience from the author. Working Conjure begins with a brief history of how it was introduced to the American Culture but quickly jumps into the core of how working conjure is performed. Each chapter identifies a specific area of conjure from the importance and significance of both the materials required and the ways in which they are used. One does not need to have a prior knowledge of conjure to receive all the values this book contains. Working Conjure does well to identify the true nature of working with hoodoo and conjure through clear explanation of each step for why each is performed and does a perfect job of identifying true practice from misconceptions of movies and fictional stories. I am fortunate to have meet the author and have attended classes of his and this book is like have a personal class from him whenever I need a refresher, my only wish is to see more volumes from him. ... show more

    • Old-style, useful, and easy-to-follow conjure
Format: Kindle
This book is awesome. It is written so intelligently and in such a folkish kind of style. The rituals are so easy to follow. I mean unless you don't mind people watching you kneeling down and praying psalms at the crossroads or hanging voodoo dolls upside down in the cemetery. . . lol. What I like most is how he avoids trying to sell "mysterious" hoodoo oils and washes with mysterious names and instead gives you detailed instructions on how to do them yourself. In short, the book provides an excellent summary of the philosophy or principle behind hoodoo and then provides practical rituals that anyone can do or incorporate in their daily lives. I rate it A+. ... show more

    • Comprehensive, Informative and FUN!
Format: Paperback
This book is very informative and delivers what it promises in the form of basic and important guidance in how to conjure. I picked up this little gem in order to deepen my understanding as well as research for a fictional story I am writing. In the process, I incorporated some of the rituals and suggestions into my own practice as they are enjoyable and I resonate with a lot of it. Personally, I could do without the prayers and the Bible verses, but having practiced hoodoo and conjure myself over the years, I can respect it as a part of the history and practice. While that part is not my cup of tea, there is still a lot of good information and guidance here for an old Chaote like me, and I'm happy with my purchase. ... show more

    • Fantastic read
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Carmen
Great book. I keep seeing people say that certain books are for beginners and I don’t like to label books “beginner” or “advanced” because ever book has value and you will hear something you can use. This book brings lots of fantastic spiritual teachings to the table and I’m very happy with my purchase. There’s information for beginners and advanced in there. The only thing I can say that’s kind of a bummer is some of the things he includes for spell ingredients like 3 tablespoons of dirt from the grave of someone who died of a broken heart? Or dirt from the grave of someone who died a violent death or the fingernail clippings, hair or saliva from someone, if you don’t get along with this person how are you going to do that? Other then that part it’s a fantastic read. ... show more

    • One of the First Books for Hoodoo Beginners
Format: Paperback
I really wish I had read this book a few years ago. The author has written this book in a manner where it is easy to understand. The information in this book was so informative that I couldn't put the book down. This is the first book that really went in depth from the importance of the honoring our ancestors all the way to the preparation of herbs, prayers, scriptures, and other things that are involved in conjuring. I learned so much from this book! I highly recommend that beginners should read this book before diving into hoodoo and conjuring. I wish I could give this book a 10-star rating. ... show more
