Conjuring Harriet \"Mama Moses\" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad | Free Book
The spirits of Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and other heroes of
the Underground Railroad guide readers on a magical path to
healing, empowerment, and liberation.
The historical role that magic and soothsaying played in the
Underground Railroad has long been ignored out of fear it might
diminish the legacy of Harriet Tubman and other heroes of that time.
However, Harriet Tubman was a Conjure woman who relied on her
dreams and visionary experiences to lead her followers to freedom.
Revered as “Mama Moses,” she, along with John Brown, Mary Ellen
Pleasant, and others have been venerated since their deaths. They
now have emerged in the 21st century as the pantheon of a new and
increasingly popular African-Diaspora tradition.
Written by Witchdoctor Utu, founder of the Niagara Voodoo Shrine,
this is the first book devoted to the spiritual and magical
tradition of the Underground Railroad. In it, the author conjures
the spirits of the Underground Railroad, their continued connection
to each other, and their “tracks” still leading to freedom from
obstacles, bondage, and trouble and tribulations of all kinds. It is
a spiritual tradition that is broadly accessible and inclusive, much
like the historical Underground Railroad itself, whose participants
were black, white, and Native American, male and female, Christians,
Jews, Quakers, animists, secret devotees of forbidden African
religions, and free thinkers of all kinds.
This revelatory book teaches readers how to invoke the blessings of
Mama Moses and her followers, access their healing inspiration and
magic powers, and seek their own path to freedom.
In The Press
"Presented in an engaging manner, Witchdoctor Utu’s impressive new book, Conjuring Harriet "Mama Moses" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad, is an exercise not only in the spiritual elevation of heroic ancestors, but also in the elevation of everyone who values and fights for freedom from enslavement. Utu asks us to put aside for a moment the usual history and understanding of the legendary fugitive slave turned conductor of the Underground Railroad and to focus on the empowering spiritual beliefs held by abolitionists and freedom seekers that played a vital role in their journeys to freedom. More than a grimoire of conjures, Witchdoctor Utu shares the rarely told stories of those who followed the North Star to freedom from the antebellum South to St. Catherines, Ontario, protective roots in hand. He brings to light a powerful Conjure tradition that, with a cairn and cross, guides the spiritual seeker towards a meaningful way to honor Mama Moses and the spirits of the Underground Railroad, and revere the bones of those still lying in unmarked graves." –Denise M. Alvarado, author of the Voodoo Hoodoo Spell Book, cultural anthropologist and founder of the American Rootwork Association
