Conjure the Root

Rooted in ancestral conjure, creating handcrafted tools and sharing wisdom for the curious. Visit us at ConjureTheRoot.com

Conjure the Root is grounded in lineage, ancestral wisdom, and the tradition of hoodoo and conjure. I work with herbs, roots, and curios through feeling, prayer, and guidance from Spirit, listening deeply to what flows through my hands and heart. Most offerings are handcrafted at the altar, guided by ancestors and intention. When something calls for prayer, it is prayed over. When it calls for fir

e, it is cleansed. From spell kits and soaps to oils and conjure tools, each piece is created with care, energy, and purpose. This space is for the curious, the seekers, and those drawn to everyday magic, whether you are just beginning or walking an established path. All are welcome who come with openness, respect, and an awareness of the energy they carry. From the altar to your aura, may you find what Spirit is calling you toward.

A few nights ago, my husband and I were in bed when we heard an enormous crash somewhere in the house.

We both shot awake.

Turned on the lights.
Checked the doors.
Looked around…. nothing.

The house was secure, we couldn't find anything broken, the animals were all fine. So we gave up and went back to bed.

A couple of days later, I opened a cabinet and found the culprit.
Apparently, this glass bowl had to shatter itself in the middle of the night.

And you guys!!! …it broke into a heart.

Now, I'm not saying it means anything.
But what I am saying is that if a piece of glass is gonna dramatically explode for no reason, this is a pretty cute way to do it.

¡Qué hermosa es la vida!

Bright Eyes.

This little guy sleeps in the bamboo.
Shows up for naps in my lap.
Disappears whenever too many people start paying attention.

He's so tiny.
But standing there in the bamboo, on the inside, he's a jaguar.
Guardian of this whole operation.

When people ask my momma how tall I am, she always says,
"4 ft. 11, but on the inside she's 11 ft. 4."

That's probably why Bright Eyes and I have a bond.
We recognize and respect the inner beast in each other.

A lot of people spend their lives waiting.
Waiting to feel ready.
Waiting to feel qualified.
Waiting for someone else to validate.
Meanwhile, I got little Bright Eyes bustin’ up into this patch of bamboo, deciding he’s a jungle cat.

If you practice conjure, you're a conjurer.
If you make art, you're an artist.
If you write, you're a writer.
You don't have to wait until you feel big enough to be what you already are.

Bright Eyes has never spent a single day wondering if he's qualified to be a jaguar.

Stand still long enough to notice the way the evening light settles on the world.

It might just be a cow grazing in the last golden moments of the day while the rest of us are rushing somewhere.

Then again, some of Spirit's best lessons show up looking like something ordinary.

Learn to recognize abundance in its simplest forms.
And may you find an ordinary thing beautiful enough to stop for.

Bananas are Caribbean kitchen magic to me.

Big leaves.
Delicious fruit.
Sweetness surviving hardship.

They’re connected to prosperity, resilience, abundance, community, and quite often given as offerings.

Plants can become part of people’s stories. They are definitely a part of mine.
They make me think of aunties cooking.
Street markets.
Warm kitchens.
People feeding each other with love.

Florida Water instantly feels like home to me.
The smell of it hits some deep nostalgia trigger in my brain every single time.

Clean floors.
Open windows.
Morning light.
Somebody tryin’ to make sure the energy in the house begins with its best foot forward.

You wipe things down with it.
Spray it around the doorway.
Use it on the altar.
Freshen the air.
Clear the mood.
Reset yourself a little.

At the shop, we used to spray it around the entrance and the prosperity altar every morning before opening up for the day.

Now I spray it around the house whenever the mood strikes me.
Which apparently means I spend a good portion of my life running around like some weird little dancing fairy farting a fragrant mist into the air.
Whatever, man… my husband still loves me.

But honestly, it’s comforting to have these little rituals as part of your everyday life.

Little moments of care.
Little resets.
Little ways of saying:
“I want peace in this space.”

You can find Florida Water stocked on the shelves at & Needles.

Check this big fella out!
I love sharing space with tiny dinosaurs and jungle spirits.

Iguanas carry messages from the universe, so I like hanging out with them, maybe a little longer than most.

I get excited every time I spot one stretched out in the trees, soaking up the sun.
They have been around for millions of years! Like dude, tell me all your secrets!

And it’s pretty cool living so close to wild things.
You start feeling like part of the wild world instead of just peeking in at it.

Also, the fact that he posed in the bougainvillea like this is huge protection vibes.
Sweet little jungle guardian. They are so cool!

Eggs are connected to protection, cleansing, life, and spiritual work.

I mean, how could they not be with the way a shell gently protects what’s inside of it?

In folk traditions and conjure, eggshell powder is used for protection work, spiritual cleansing, and creating boundaries around yourself and your space.

And of course… there’s the egg cleanse.

If you grew up around certain traditions, chances are somebody at some point rubbed an egg over you to pull off heavy energy, bad luck, sickness, or spiritual mess.

I’ve been thinking about making a video talking about egg cleanses, and how you can read the egg afterward once it’s cracked into water.
Would anyone be interested in something like that?

Also, fun fact! These eggs came from what started as a tiny fenced-off safe space in our yard for an injured neighborhood chicken and her babies.

Now it’s basically a full-blown animal sanctuary back there. 🤣 I regret nothing!

Everything is connected here.

Last night we bought a bag of these from a man selling them on the street, and they were SO good.

Fresh fruit.
Neighbors talking out in the streets.
Music playing throughout the neighbourhood.
An evening breeze off the ocean helping to cool down the day.
These little everyday moments feel like magic to me.

Living a simpler life has brought about such an amazing shift in my sight.

You slow down.
You notice things more.
Food tastes better.
Community feels more real.

Anyway… I just thought this was beautiful and wanted to share it with you, my friends.
May you live today, simple and authentic.

Red Love Salt might be one of my favorite things I make.
It feels like a little jar of Donna-Summer-groaning-through-Love-to-Love-You-Baby energy.

Love work can look like lighting a candle,
taking a long bath,
smelling good,
feeling connected to yourself,
and loving the life you’re living.

I love adding this to a bath before a date night, self-care night, or honestly anytime I wanna feel a little more magnetic and adored by the universe.

You can also use it in love work charm bags, candle rituals, around an altar, or even sprinkle some under your bed. 😉
Bonus points if you add a loadstone to your working.

It smells SO good, and it makes you feel all soft and romantic.

You can find my work, like this love salt, on the shelves at Pinups & Needles

Look who decided to stop by last night.

This little tree frog has been hanging out on my plants, and I swear… moments like this still feel magical to me every single time.

Tiny little guardian of the garden.

I love how living close to the land changes the way you notice things.

These sorts of encounters always feel like little reminders to stay soft, observant, connected, and present.

Anyway… I just had to share this sweet little face with y’all.

Also… can we please acknowledge the accidental Caravaggio lighting in this photo? Because I’m kinda obsessed with it.
