Mojo Hands, Conjure Bags and the Magic of Spirit Packets
September 12, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$50.00Incorporating ancient methods for calling spirits into physical objects, the packets made according to these spiritual arts and sciences are known by many names.
They’re called mojo hands, conjure bags, gris gris, nation sacks, tobies, spirit bags, or countless other names, and those who carry them swear by their effectiveness and abilities.
In this workshop, we’ll learn about the design and construction of these magical objects, from selecting materia for components through assembly and empowering to the ensouling, waking up, and care and feeding of these potent magical allies.
Attendees will be able to choose from materia and be guided in making their own mojo hands in the workshop portion.
Class Fees include costs of all materials
Instructor-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.
