Necromancy 201
November 2, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
$45.00Working with the dead in a way that transcends the veil from the spiritual to the material and back allows us to to give permanence and physicality to their energies and to impact the spiritual world with energetic results of physical workings.
This hands-on workshop follows up on Necromancy 101 to cover working with graveyards, grave dirt, and bones. We will discuss procedures and etiquette for visiting the graveyard, selecting a spirit to work with, communing with the spirit and collecting physical materia to continue the relationship in the material realm. Weather permitting, the class will take us to the cemetery for hands- on work in the field.
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.
