"If you want to learn, receive edification and see just how powerful the art of divination is, I would highly suggest you read Divination Conjure Style." - Hoodoo Sen Moise, author of Working Conjure

A delightful in-depth guide to the divination practices of conjure from the beloved author of Old Style Conjure and other books.

In Divination Conjure Style, Starr Casas shares the secrets of conjure-style divination that she learned at home; secrets that, until very recently, were family secrets transmitted only orally. 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.

The primary focus of Divination Conjure Style 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.
