“If you’ve always dreamt of sitting at the feet of a backwoods grandma as she teaches you the ways of folk magic, your wishes have been heard. Mama Starr is a true, living encyclopedia of down-home rootwork, and reading Living Conjure is like sitting down at the kitchen table with her as she explains the old ways that were handed down to her. If you’ve been curious about Conjure or mystified by magic, this book will gently take you by the hand and give you the tools, rituals, and remedies to take control of your life on your terms.”
—Madame Pamita, author of The Book of Candle Magic
 
“A fantastic resource for anyone interested in Southern Conjure or folk magic. Casas’s expertise and deep connection to this mystical world shine through every page of her book, making it both informative and enchanting. Starr Casas does it again, delivering another masterpiece of Southern folk magic.”
—Mystic Dylan, author of Throwing Bones, Crystals, Stones, and Curios
 
A beginner-friendly guide to Conjure written by an authentic Conjure woman with over four decades of working experience, Living Conjure contains tips and tricks for the seasoned practitioner. Starr Casas learned Conjure the old-fashioned way: at home, from her relatives and ancestors—she is now sharing that knowledge with a new generation of practitioners. With this book, you can learn from a master.
 
In this foundational book, Mama 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. 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.
