I’m in the midst of designing a tarot deck for my own personal use – utilizing old engravings, woodcuts, etc. (from notable artists, such as Goya, Jose Guadalupe Posada, Diego Rivera and others) separated into 7 suits – the Kingdoms of Quimbanda, as well as 8 Major Arcana cards.

Here are a few.

I have no intention of selling them – as I’m sure at least some of the images are copyrighted. I may, however, make the files available for any who wish to use them – should anyone request.

This is incredible! Are you doing this on a computer program or by hand?

I would absolutely love to make use of these, if that would be all right with you!

I’m using GIMP. By hand would take ages! Thanks be to modern technology, right??

If you’d like, once I’m complete, I’d happily share the files with you. Just shoot me a message with your email!

Today, much of the information that comes up on Google searches for the terms hoodoo, conjure, rootwork, conjure doctor, conjure doctors, spiritual doctors and more land on commercial hoodoo enterprises with the focus on commodity as opposed to cultural preservation. This site focuses on the latter. Find information here about the people who made it possible for others to profit from the traditions, while remembering most of these original conjure doctors and spiritual mothers lived in poverty. In the very least, my hope is that those who profit off of southern conjure traditions will begin paying a daily homage to these forgotten ancestors by pouring a daily libation of water and thanking them for their contributions; albeit, unknown to them today.  Please share this website with others to make the voices of our ancestors heard. Theirs is the most important one to include in the current narrative.

Conjuredoctors.com provides free information about conjure doctor cures, remedies, core practices, harms and cures, household receipts, articles, resources and an alternate perspective on the history of hoodoo.

It’s a work in progress but lots of good info here!

I nearly forgot! Charon the Cat kindly offered her services in aiding my working.
