Power in my Pocket, Spirits on my Shelf: A fresh look at hoodoo container spells
This class will take place at 7pm Eastern on Monday November 18th. It will be livestreamed via Zoom and recorded and made available for viewing for one month afterwards
About the class:
Every container spell is a small world that we create. Think of a snow globe—a finite space where we control the elements and magic at play.
Many of us are familiar with the honey jar, but what about the sour jar, the glass conjure lamp, natural containers like walnut shells, eggs, & seashells, or even the use of containers to siphon off negative patterns or bad habits? The tradition of hoodoo holds many options for container-based magics which are not often discussed today.
In this class, professional Rootworkers Brother Yona & Phoebe Hildegard will share on the potential of containers to neutralize threats and amplify blessings. We will incorporate case studies from our years of experience as public conjurers and present traditional container spells that still hold great potential for magical work today.
This class will present possibilities for both the hoodoo novice and the advanced conjurer to think in new ways about the power of containers in spellwork.
About the presenters:
Phoebe Hildegard Finch is a traditionally trained conjurer, card reader, and writer.
Originally brought to earth after a series of baleful magical experiments, she currently resides in Denton, Texas as the live-in apprentice of Professor Charles Porterfield. A lifelong herbalist, her work with plants is the loamy heart of her craft, anchoring the arcane in the physical.
Brother Yona is a conjureman, cartomancer, and teacher of Hoodoo & Rootwork.
Being born into a family deeply rooted in spirituality and folk magic allowed him to nurture his natural “gift” & relationship with the spirit realm. The diversity in his mentorship as well as his personal life experiences gives him a well-rounded and practical perspective to his spiritual workings.
As an approachable, “everyday man” he prides himself on using the old-time tradition of Hoodoo to find solutions for modern day problems. Promoting strength in others and keeping the tradition alive is Brother Yona's mission.
