"A beginner-friendly guide to Conjure as it has been practiced in the Deep South and passed down through the generations.Living Conjure is a beginner's guide to Conjure written by an authentic Conjure woman with over four decades of working experience. Starr Casas learned Conjure the old-fashioned way: at home, from her relatives and ancestors. She would like to share that knowledge with a new generation of practitioners. In this foundational book, Starr leads readers step by step toward establishing their own practice, from setting up altars to finding the right tools and creating baths, washes, and powders. Because of Starr's great experience, long-term practitioners will find topics of interest, too. Included in the book are venerations to the ancestors who passed down this knowledge and introductions to the culture and customs that brought these workings to light. "Starr Casas is a true national treasure. She is an authentic hereditary practitioner of Conjure, among the most potent forms of traditional American folk magic. A vast repository and staunch defender of rapidly vanishing American folk traditions, Starr Casas is the real deal." -Judika Illes, author of Encyclopedia of 5000 Spells, Encyclopedia of Spirits"--

Conjure tends to be accessible, practical, low-cost magic, and this is reflected in the herbal.For example, snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata), a common house plant, readily available from garden stores and supermarkets alike, is valued for its anti-gossip properties and is also worked with to keep lying tongues from disrupting your home. Because its leaves are shaped like a double-edged sword, the snake plant can "cut" through malicious "works" (spells) that may have been sent against you.Likewise, the Touch-Me-Not or shameplant (Mimosa pudica), another popular plant, is used for protection.As with the information in her previous books, Starr's knowledge comes from a lifetime of experience, as well as her family's secrets. Mama Starr's own grandmother kept Touch-Me-Nots in buckets on either side of her front door.This book will be of interest to lovers of herbals and students of Southern folkways, as well as the many who seek to put the information into use. In addition to detailed information about a wide variety of plants, there is also practical information about planting seeds and cutting and transplanting plants. In this book of practical plant magic, Starr advises that as the plants thrive and grow, the works for which they are used will grow stronger too"--
