Necromancy 101
October 26, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
$40.00The ancient and venerable practice of honoring and conjuring with the spirits of the dead is one of the most hallowed human traditions. With applications spanning all ages and traditions, the universal human practice is credited with bringing peace to one’s ancestors, removing ancestral and intergenerational curses, opening one’s roads to prosperity, soliciting the aid and protection of your ancestors, and performing works and service with the spirits of the dead.
In this class we will cover how to create and maintain an ancestor altar, the materials and tools for necromancy, approaching and interacting with the dead, paradigms for influencing spirits, basic precautions and spiritual safety and more.
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.
