Throughout the American South, there are many folk magic practices built on the foundation of African Slave magic, European witchcraft, and local Native American practices. These synergistic traditions emerge with a myriad of names: root-doctoring, spirit-work, hoodoo, conjure, witchery and countless others. House of Brigh teaches the history and the elements of practice of these traditions from both the historical and personal point of view drawing from personal experience of the lore and techniques of Southern and Appalachian magical practices. House of Brigh's conjure teachings include both Hoodoo and Voodoo work gleaned from initiates in New Orleans and throughout the American South. Conjure is a living tradition that includes setting of lights, working roots, the veil (2nd sight) working with tokens (signs), laying on hands, speaking in tongues, conjure magic, working with the dead and other forms.
