Old Style Conjure Wisdoms, Workings and Remedies Paperback – April 28, 2014

If you enjoy affirmations and wish there were some specifically related to your conjure work, get this book.You get Days of the Week candle correspondences from her Candle Burning Book so you don't have to pull out multiple books. Then you have correspondences for the months of the year with affirmations for every day. Next you have a couple of pages of Remedies from her youth and a page of Resources.The whole book is short, sweet, and to the point. Perfect.

I love this book. After sifting through many other positive affirmation books with boring platitudes this is finally the book I have been looking for. Some of the negative reviews on here seem to be from people who did not look at the reviews and first few pages and thought the book was something else. I guess they thought they would burn a candle and change everything in their lives. While that certainly might help, as the book gives some guidelines for that, it really all starts here with what Mama Starr is saying in this book. I know it falls under rootwork or hoodoo but I think maybe it could be categorized under positive transformation books also. There are many people out there who might not necessarily look under the magic category but who would find this book to be very useful. I think it deserves a much wider audience. Mama Starr reminds me of a Hoodoo Doreen Virture. Very positive and transformational and changing lives for the better. I will be checking out her other works.

I wish there was more books on the old style conjure it is old wise tales to some but to others it was a way of life according to where you grew up

This book is not exactly what I expected. However Mama Starr didn't leave me without wisdom and insight. To be honest I wasn't entirely sure exactly what I thought I was getting when I got this book. I knew there would be folk remedies in there but that was about it. It was actually for the folk remedies that I bought this book.The introduction of this book is actually very uplifting. This section should not be ignored. It contains the reason why she wrote this book and a cleansing exercise for the readers to do if they are ready to start making changes in their lives. Its simple exercises and affirmations that really make the meat of this book. The introduction cleansing rite is just the first to open the doors.Prior to really getting into the meat of the word Mama Starr provides associations for candle colors and other magical and spiritual associations for the days of the week. The first section of this books covers daily affirmations. There is an affirmation or "daily wisdom" for each and every day of the year. Each month starts out with the Herb of the month, basic month trivia, sacred stone for the month and birthstone for the month.The second part of the book is full of folk magic and healing remedies. She starts this section off with a fair warning that she does not expect anyone to try these themselves but if they do each individual must take their own responsibility for any averse effects that the treatments may have. She is not a doctor after all. These are just things that her family did while she was growing up to treat various ailments as they had no money to go to the doctor.This is the reason why I bought this book. This section covers a small variety of the remedies that she used growing up and continues to use them. From earaches to dipper rash, nightmares and spirit removal this small section of the book covers many remedies that have proven to be effective. Some of these remedies are things I had seen elsewhere like the earaches with garlic oil.Finally she ends the book with resources and references that readers may find useful. She also includes her own websites on there for further references as well as many other well known and trusted Conjure resources.So if you are looking for a book of simple daily wisdom this is it.

This is basically inspiring quotes, mixed with a few hoodoo workings here and there... quite frankly you can get most of this wisdom on her website. I understand that her books help make up her income, but for 13 bucks, the size and page count of this book. and its contents just isn't worth it in my opinion.

Wonderful Book of Old Style Wisdom! Momma Starr gets right to the point! A good day to day uplifting book to bring out the best in you, so you can be of help to others. This book is part of my morning devotional routine and I know it will be part of yours as well.

Wish I would have read the reviews. Less wisdom more like daily affirmations for the year. I'm like do I start on the January pages or April, who knows? Don't really feel inspired. If you are looking for working and remedies, don't waste your money. For real day to day one sentence affirmations, you probably tell yourself more inspiring things.

Great book I learn about the days of the week and months and remedy great book great book A1 book
