With the increasing commodification of African American and African Diasporic traditions, books about our practices that are simple, direct, and useful seem few and far between. Hoodoo Sen Moise manages to balance a solid delivery on the practice of Conjure with just enough theory to create a foundation to do this spiritual work—which is not, as he also reminds us, spiritual easy—and to continue the work given to us by our ancestors to heal each other and the world we share.\"—Mambo Chita Tann, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eHaitian Vodou\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConjure, also known as Hoodoo or Rootwork, is an old and powerful system of North American folk magic.

As a child, he was taught by his grandfather to speak with the ancestors and, by the age of four, was able to see the spirits and had learned to open the door to power, wisdom, and service. He is now among the foremost authorities on the topic and also an initiated practitioner of several African Diaspora traditions. Hoodoo Sen Moise resides in New Orleans, where he is co-owner of the shop Conjure New Orleans with author Starr Casas.
