CoCo Conjure

Cousin... we gotta work more with the spirit of Wealth and less with the spirit of Luck.

Let's talk!

Hey Cousin!

The ancestors moved my tongue to sing, and I had some spiritual matters weighing on my spirit. So come with me as we enjoy some negro spirituals and spit folklore around black faith.

All stories taken from Daryl Cumber Dance " From My People: 400 years of African American Folklore"

To be honest, i think the lyrics to the songs i sang are in there too.

Hey Cuzn!

Big Sis is back to help me answer questions found around the internet. We talk ancestor work, lodestones, karma, black girl hair struggles. And if that wasn't enough, Big Sis dies laughing, and I almost tell you about the time I conjured the spirit of Death.

grab some tea, and lets answer some internet witch questions.

Hey Cuz!!!

Your Auntie, my Mama, is here to tell you how she regained herself spiritually and mentally. She tells us about how the ancestors give her strength, and roots give her peace of mind. Her spiritual journey explains how the women on my family branch went from Saints to Occultists without losing our hoodoo.
