7th ANNUAL HOODOO HERITAGE FESTIVAL
For the seventh consecutive year, Missionary Independent Spiritual Church is sponsoring our Hoodoo Heritage Festival in Forestville, California.
This program is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. You do not need to be a student of the Hoodoo Rootwork Correspondence Course or a Graduate Apprentice to come out to the program and learn conjure for two fabulous days in Forestville! Everyone is welcome, and every year people come from all across the country and all around the world to take these fun, fast-moving, hands-on workshops.
These classes in African-American folk magic, rootwork, and hoodoo will teach you practical tricks and tips to take your conjure work to a new level of confidence and knowledge. In addition to spell casting, we also showcase the mystery and magic of world-wide folk religions. And, above all, the Hoodoo Heritage Festival is a not-for-profit venture -- so, in addition to great teaching, you will receive goodie bags from our sponsors that are filled with freebies galore.
Your ticket covers everything but your lodging -- you will go home with instructional flyers, advance copies of brand new books, and spiritual supplies from Lucky Mojo -- plus, Missionary Independent Spiritual Church sets out a generous supply of food and drinks, so there are no hidden meal costs for attendees.

Beyond the Reading:
Using Tarot, Lenormand, and Playing Cards in Rootwork
Tarot Cards, the Lenormand Oracle, and Playing Cards can be used to divine someone's future -- but did you know that they play an integral part in assessing what spiritual work is called for in a case, determining how to build and conduct a rootwork spell, and that they can even be used in the spell itself? In this workshop, MADAME NADIA will teach you how to use Tarot, Lenormand, and Playing Cards to diagnose yourself or a client and decide which spell to use for any given situation, how to customize that spell for maximum effectiveness, and even how to incorporate your cards into hoodoo spells. MADAME NADIA will share with you conjure-specific meanings that are encoded in the images and symbols of the cards. This workshop will open your eyes to a whole new way to use cards in your hoodoo.
TAKE HOME: A two-page guide to using cartomancy in hoodoo spell-casting, a packet of Psychic Vision sachet powder, and a deck of playing cards that will be ceremonially blessed at the event.

Saturday and Sunday May 3-4, 2014 The Vacant Chair: Remembering Dr. E. and Rev. Rukiah Shamon This year, two of our dearest friends have passed into Spirit. In their honour, the members of Hoodoo Psychics are hosting two Vacant Chairs in the Reading Tent, as a tribute to the great influence these readers had upon the clients they served and the colleagues they inspired. Dr. E.: Among his many other talents as a rootworker and a priest of Shango, our late friend Eddy Gutierrez was a gifted diviner, reading both tarot cards and diloggun cowrie shells. Rev. Rukiah Shamon: A beloved hands-on healer, root doctor, Reiki-Master, herbalist, and pastor, Rukiah Shamon was a seer who read intuitively, with a crystal ball and by means of a black scrying mirror. We shall meet, but we shall miss them
There will be a vacant chair
We shall linger to caress them
While we breathe our evening prayer PLEASE STOP BY: We encourage those who knew Eddy and Rukiah to write a few words in our Memory Books for presentation to their families. ______________________________________
