Working Conjure

Autor Hoodoo Sen Moise
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2018

Spre deosebire de lucrările academice care analizează fenomenul din exterior, Working Conjure aduce în prim-plan vocea autentică a unui practicant cu aproape 40 de ani de experiență. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Hoodoo Sen Moise reușește să dezbrace această tradiție de aspectele comerciale moderne, redându-i demnitatea de sistem practic de supraviețuire și transformare. Cartea nu este un simplu manual de vrăjitorie, ci o punte către moștenirea strămoșilor africani din America de Nord, oferind un echilibru fin între teorie și acțiune. Pe aceeași linie cu Old Style Conjure de Starr Casas, care pune accent pe rădăcinile tradiționale americane, lucrarea de față se diferențiază printr-o structură pedagogică riguroasă, adresându-se deopotrivă începătorilor și celor avansați. În timp ce alte titluri precum Conjure in African American Society se concentrează pe evoluția istorică și sociologică, Working Conjure rămâne ancorată în utilitate: cum să folosești rădăcinile, ierburile și intenția pentru a influența relațiile, situația financiară sau vindecarea personală. Considerăm că forța acestui volum rezidă în abordarea etică a magiei populare. Autorul ne amintește că „lucrul” spiritual nu este o cale ușoară, ci o responsabilitate față de comunitate și sine. Tonul este unul direct și onest, transformând concepte complexe în pași aplicabili. Este o resursă esențială pentru cei care doresc să înțeleagă Hoodoo nu ca pe un mit cinematografic, ci ca pe o unealtă vie de schimbare a realității imediate prin ritualuri și materiale primare specifice tradiției Rootwork.

Descriere scurtă

"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 Conjure
  • Features spells, rituals, and workings for various purposes
  • Guides 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.”
