The Bible in Conjure: A Two-Headed Book

1 Samuel 10:10-14

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁰ When he and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he joined in their prophesying. ¹¹ When all those who had formerly known him saw him prophesying with the prophets, they asked each other, “What is this that has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
¹² A man who lived there answered, “And who is their father?” So it became a saying: “Is Saul also among the prophets?” ¹³ After Saul stopped prophesying, he went to the high place.
¹⁴ Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where have you been?”
“Looking for the donkeys,” he said. “But when we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”

 The Bible is a tricky book. Just like a conjure worker you have to learn how to read between the lines to see what Spirit really is telling you. When you look at this verse it's talking about how the Spirit of God came upon Saul and caused him to prophesy by the Spirit. In this verse we see revelation of the divine gifts and the call to follow them.

The way I look at it is that God will speak a message through other people regardless of how great or small they may look. A person's appearance isn't important but what does matter is the word spoken to you. If I wanted the truth revealed to me I'd pray these verses over the work so that the answer is clear to me. 

Another way to interpret these verses is that God has given you certain gifts that are special to you. Work with those gifts no matter what they be in service of the Highest and you will be led to the high places. They will speak for themselves. Just be quiet and do your job. Don't get stiff in the neck (arrogant).

The verses will mean different things for everybody. If you read one book or chapter alone you'll find that the verses can be prayed over all types of work. This is true of the whole Bible. This is what also makes it confusing sometimes.

So the first thing you need to ask God is "Show me clearly the word." Then open your Bible and read out loud the first three verses. Sometimes the message will be clear as day while at other times it'll be foggy and dense. Sometimes you can't understand what the Bible is saying because you are NOT ready!!! The message is the answer but you have to GROW in order to understand it. At the time you got the message it was meant for you to have but you had to wait and grow so it becomes clear. I hope this makes sense. Drlovebug



 

Learning Conjure from Your Elders

Too many Internet hoodoos focus on the "work" in Conjure instead of the foundation that builds up the power in the work because they weren't taught by their elders. Candles, herbs, powders, etc are a part of Conjure but they are not the be all and end all of Hoodoo. Learning Conjure from your elders is a blessing because you are blessed with gifts that money can't buy only if you LISTEN and pay ATTENTION. By listening to your elders and showing them respect you learn to have discernment which is missing in many modern day Hoodoo workers.

I've noticed over the years that online workers limit themselves to the props but don't actually know how to work. Folks online seem to think that all you need is a recipe but there's a lot more to it than a recipe or formula. Another issue is that hoodoos on the Internet are all rehashing the same information from Hyatt and literary sources. This is the first way to tell a book worker from a real conjure worker who was taught by older folks. You can collect recipes all day but if you weren't taught this work from your elders you won't know what to do with it which shows a lack of maturity. This brings up my next point that you'll see in workers taught by their elders is maturity.

Real workers who learned from their elders don't go around throwing for folks and creating mess. You won't find much of this in the real world outside of the Internet because old workers don't have time for bullshit. Hey I have to keep it real here. All that folks on the Internet talk about is graveyard work, crossing folks up, working with dark spirits and works that aren't meant for most people to know about. Yeah I said it. There are certain works that people don't need to know because it's none of their business. It'll do more harm than good because they don't know what they're doing. I promise you that if you ever meet old workers they don't go around spouting off nasty work for everyone to learn. Most people are not mature or level headed enough to handle that kind of work. Know your place.

When you learn Conjure work from old workers you are taught to build up your power from the ground up just like a house. You have to first lay out a strong foundation and make sure it is level before you can build a house otherwise your life will fall apart. Our elders teach us to develop discernment and have wisdom. You learn these things as you grow. Your elders help you to find your place in the world so you can grow not only as a spiritual worker but as a human being.

Wisdom and discernment are the most important qualities you'll find in conjure workers who learned from their elders. These characteristics are two sides of a coin. The Spirit of Discernment allows you to look beyond the layers to see the truth as it is while the Spirit of Wisdom shows you how to respond appropriately in situations. Having discernment as a worker and learning to develop wisdom will help you have "eyes of the Spirit" according to Scripture...Drlovebug
