A guide to Conjure as it has been practiced in the Deep South and passed down through the generations.  “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.

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.

Know What You Signed Up For -...

Megan B Brown

A field guide for military spouses who did not know what they'd signed up for.“You knew what you signed up for!” Megan B. Brown has heard that hint of condescension more times than she cares to remember. But did she? Honestly, no. She fell in love with a military man and had dreams of adventure.In much the same way, when we surrendered our lives to Jesus Christ, we really had no idea what we were “signing up for.” We were probably so overwhelmed by His love; we weren’t necessarily focused on the sacrifices that would follow.Five moves. Ten different houses. Four children. Two deployments to combat zones. Megan has discovered that this lifestyle takes its toll.  She has sacrificed jobs, communities, friendships, and personal dreams. She has comforted children who’ve cried themselves to sleep over missing their father. She has bravely stood in the gap when her husband had boots on the ground somewhere else.In Know What You Signed Up For, Megan helps military spouses see that we’re right where we’re supposed to be—chosen for this specific time and place. We’ll find life in our roles as military spouses, mothers—or spiritual mothers. We’ll discover the passion of the gospel, the wisdom held in God’s Word, and the strengthening of His church. We’ll hear His call to be radically hospitable and unconditionally loving. Together, we’ll see what it means to follow Jesus, love people, and live on mission.

11 Somatic Practices to Shed the...

Anonimo

Heal your nervous system to release stubborn fat with somatic exercises that signal deep safety to your body.

Your belly weight is not a failure of will; it is a meaningful shield forged by chronic stress and an overwhelmed system. When high-intensity workouts and restrictive diets fail, it is often because the body is stuck in survival mode, holding onto visceral fat as protection against a perceived threat. This guide validates your struggle, shifting the narrative from shame to biological compassion.

Discover the science of the Trauma Body and why feeling unsafe triggers cortisol spikes that halt weight loss. Instead of waging war on your physique, you will learn to interpret subtle stress signals and distinguish emotional hunger from physical need. The path to repair involves quieting the alarm bells in your brain so your body can finally exhale.

Inside this roadmap to regulation, you will discover:

Psoas release and rocking techniques that immediately calm the fight-or-flight response.
Vagus nerve support strategies to lower anxiety and promote grounding.
Micro-movements designed for busy schedules that replace punishing cardio.
A sustainable nutrition protocol focusing on nutrient density and blood sugar balance.
Tools to rebuild trust with your body and end the cycle of self-blame.

Transform your relationship with food and movement by establishing a rhythm of safety. By integrating these practices into your daily life, weight release becomes a natural side effect of a regulated system rather than a forced battle. Step into a partnership with your physiology and uncover the wisdom beneath the noise.
