The ConjureMan, a reader and rootworker with more than a decade of hands-on experience serving clients, has the answers to this question. In this amazing workshop he will help you look beyond "the spells" and into the methodology and rhythm of spell crafting itself.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Saturday, August 13, 2022 Catherine Yronwode: Dolls and Effigies in the Hoodoo and Conjure Tradition Doll-babies, dollies, voodoo dolls, and poppets are names given to figural images intended to represent living beings upon whom a spell is to be cast or for whom spiritual work is to be performed.

3:30 PM - 4:30 PM Sunday, August 14, 2022 Papa Gee: Hex Appeal Cursing or crossing someone requires talent, commitment, and a dash of hate. But is jinxing someone always a bad thing? In this dark arts workshop we will cover baneful magic, removing troublesome people from your life, crossing up your enemies, exacting revenge, and how the art of the hex is sometimes considered to be a proactive form of protection work. To balance the light and dark, Papa Gee will also cover the ways to remove hexes and how to prevent them from coming back. Together we will craft a cursing bottle to toss your enemy "down the river."
