Fundamentals of Conjuration

Conjuration is the universal practice of summoning and striking deals with spirits, found across the Near and Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It is fundamental to the technique and technology of folk magic, especially for the contemporary urban practitioner.

Working with spiritual allies and assistants is one of the most daunting and rewarding dimensions of spiritual practice. In this class, we’ll learn the metaphysics of spirit, the theories, best practices, and essential tools for interacting with spirit, and key insights to ensuring safe and beneficial working relationships with spirits.

Instuctor-Brother Moses is a cultural anthropologist, folklorist, spiritual minister and professional reader and conjure worker based in Colorado.
He has been steeped in his family’s old world folk magic traditions since childhood, and has spent decades studying the religion, spirituality, and magical practices of humans across time and civilizations while staying grounded in contemporary urban spiritual practice.
Working primarily in folk magical traditions–which he terms “the magic of pragmatism”– Brother Moses approaches spiritual work from first principles and core metaphysics, examining magical techniques and technologies to distill essential frameworks and parameters for their operation. By comparing methods, paradigms, and approaches across cultures, he discovers often surprising unities and similarities in magical understanding and application across the world and the ages.
Concerned with plants and bones, spirits and folk saints, Psalms and prayers, lamps and candles, amulets and talismans, oils and incense, dolls, jars, bags, dirt, and the other magical tools of everyday life, his conjure is a concentrated blend of the proven traditions and practices of the ancestors who depended on them, and the spiritual and material sciences they observed and derived.
