| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The 16th annual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, produced by the Association of Independent Spiritual Churches and staffed by members of the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers provides a high-energy space for folk-magic learners, experienced home practitioners, professional readers and conjure doctors, and interested members of the public to get together, socialize, and take hands-on workshops from experienced members of AIRR and other well-known rootworkers.
Inaugurated in 2008, the Hoodoo Heritage Festival was created by Ms. Robin to broaden the scope and outreach of the conjure community -- and the huge amount of interest in hoodoo since then is a testament to her efforts. From 2008 through 2019, the Association of Independent Spiritual Churches sponsored an annual Hoodoo Heritage Festival in Forestville, California. In 2020 and 2021, due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic, the AISC Festival went virtual and was held online via Zoom. The 2022 and 2023 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festivals continue this new format, with 10 virtual workshops over a two-day period.
THE VIRTUAL HOODOO HERITAGE FESTIVAL, 2023
June 10th and 11th, 2023
Great Teachers, True Fellowship, and ... the Goody Boxes!
Our zoom classes in African American folk magic, root work, and hoodoo proved so popular that we will be hosting a fourth Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival on June 10th and 11th, 2023, under the auspices of Ms. Robin, Papa Gee, and Jon Saint Germain. These Zoom workshops, accompanied by live chat and physical "goody-boxes" filled with spiritual supplies and printed books, teach you practical tricks and tips to take your conjure work to a new level of confidence and knowledge. In addition to spell casting and divination, we also showcase the mystery and magic of world-wide folk religions, and you can also book private readings with members of Hoodoo Psychics during the event.

When the great blues singer Ma Rainey wrote and recorded "Lucky Rock Blues" in 1924, she was NOT singing about New Age Crystals! In hoodoo and conjure practice, the names Lucky Rock and Lucky Stone refer to the otoliths or earbones of fishes -- usually drumfish -- which were carried for good fortune by Native Americans and thence entered the materia magica of African American practitioners. Heidi sings the song, provides the ingredients, and guides you through making your Lucky Rock mojo according to instructions collected by the folklorist Harry Hyatt in the 1930s.

Astrology is a predictive system that helps people make effective plans in matters of business, location, love affairs, marriage, friends, enemies, health, finances, legacies, domestic life, and partnerships. In its most complex forms, it requires a knowledge of astronomical mathematics, but do not fear -- astrology with no math is possible -- and Catherine Yronwode will show you how it is done. In this workshop on ancient, rural star-lore, she will teach you how to work with and harness the power of the Sun, Moon, Planets, and Signs, and how to adapt your work to the ever-changing “astrological weather” of planetary Transits, Eclipses, and Retrogrades. You will learn practical conjure with the Sun and Moon from African-American root doctors of the 20th century, transcribed in their own words. Included also is a revised and restored text from 1920 by Professor A.F. Seward, known in his day as "The World'd Foremost Astrologer," that tells you how to schedule planting, harvesting, grafting, and surgical operations according to the phases and signs of the Moon. If you have been put off of astrology because it somehow seemed “too complicated,” this workshop and its accompanying book will ease you into a full comprehension of Eternal Cosmic Knowledge that you can use on a daily basis!

Jon Saint Germain brings us the remarkable life of Adele Clemens, an Anglo-American woman who founded Divine Harmony Spiritual Church in Harlem, New York, in the mid-1930s. A prolific speaker who presented lectures on metaphysical topics during well-attended evangelical tours across the country, she was, despite her unlikely heritage, a pioneer in the Spiritual Church Movement, which was historically based in the African American community. Her methods of conducting candlelight prayer services, documented and published by Mikhail Strabo in the 1940s, are still used today by Spiritual Church Pastors and Ministers across America.
