Traditional conjure is the domain of the poor and disenfranchised, living in regions that were (and remain) unfriendly to esotericism and the occult. Thus, conjure divination relies on inexpensive tools that are not exclusively magical: playing cards, rather than tarot cards, or scrying with blue water instead of a crystal ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary focus of \u003ci\u003eDivination Conjure Style\u003c\/i\u003e is playing-card divination, but other methods covered include bibliomancy, pyromancy, pendulums, and throwing the bones. Starr discusses the history of these methods and also offers practical information so that the reader can master these techniques for themselves. Josef Bailey, a young New Orleans artist, has created illustrations of conjure-style playing cards to Starr's specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868379828460,"sku":"9781578636693","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1244433482750.jpg?v=1759756371"},{"product_id":"hoodoo-herbal-by-starr-casas-9781578637850","title":"Hoodoo Herbal","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe definitive guide to Hoodoo plant magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoodoo Herbal\u003c\/i\u003e contains detailed information on dozens of roots and herbs.
