I think the price is too steep honestly. A lot of work can be done with $700 and I honestly feel that as rootworkers we might as well ask our spirits to teach us braucherei especially if you work with native american or germanic spirits. Marc

Hey Kwame,

What's the name of this show again with Morgan Freeman about Blacks in America? I missed it and would like to see it

(Dr. Kioni will eventually make the interview with Christine Wicker available through his archives for free download and via the CDs he sells. I know that folks will really want to hear this one, but it takes Dr. K. time to edit and encode them for his archives. He'll let us know when the new batch ...

Just like chickens scratch up conjure, chicken feet are used to protect from conjure and evil. To make a protective charm, tie 3 knots with red ribbon around a chicken foot and carry that ...

Eoghan,

I have a question for you and anyone else familiar with this topic. I've noticed the emphasis on using room corners in some hoodoo spells. For example, in "Mules & Men", Zora Neale Hurston describes a poppet spell where the poppet is bound by rope and placed in a corner. I've seen some ...

I can't wait for the topic next week. Lately I've been doing some Compelling Attraction work, but I'll wait to discuss more about it next Wed. Marc

Last night's show was great! One thing I did notice was that the majority of sneaky tricks being discussed were about tricking men!--Marc

This was a great article! I kind of wonder if maybe I should try to contact the Brassieur guy since I'm kind of close to him to find out more about old-time practitioners. Cat, is the old traditional rootworker in Lafayette that you know of named Mr. Murphy? My friend knows a rootworker in Lafayette ...

Hi Sharon,

I missed last night's teleconference on working with your ancestors.

I'll be honest and tell you that I'm no expert on this as I've started working with my ancestors seriously for 2 months and my altar faces east because it's on my computer table which faces East. I have a big statue ...

Thanks Cat for the info. I remember in the conference when you and Dr. Kioni spoke about the hot/cold principles in hoodoo and how this goes back to Africa. I agree with you because I asked my aunt (who's from the Zulu tribe in South Africa) why white is the color of the ancestors and she said that ...

Cat,

Last night's show was great. It was my first time participating and hearing the show and it was highly informative. I will have to listen to it a few more times to start understanding everything. If my understanding of this is correct, "cool" herbs would be herbs that smell look, and or taste ...

Quimbisero Eoghan

I have a question. Who's Aunt Cecilia? I've never heard of that spirit before.

My other question is that I know that the spirits are the source of power, but isn't it also the power of the practitioner that takes part as expressed through one's prayers in conjuring?

Marc

Hey Cat and everyone,

Yeah! I heard of "Sticks, Stones, Roots, and Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo, and Conjuring With Herbs" by Stephanie Rose Bird, and I've been to the book's website at Llewellyn. Llewellyn is the publishing company and the author of the book is an African-American green witch with ...
