The calabash (gourd) is a sacred vessel in Yoruba cosmology; it's the ultimate emblem of female fertility. Sharing folk traditions, personal stories, and her favorite songs and pop stars, Mawiyah Kai El-Jamah Bomani shows you how to bless your gourd with love and reawaken your fullest potential. She teaches not only how to cast spells for better sex, money, and success, but also how to empower the men and children in your life. An inclusive and intersectional voice in contemporary Hoodoo, Mawiyah will help you become as fierce as Beyoncé herself.
"In a cluttered, sometimes confusing, marketplace of Hoodoo how-to books, a brave and original soul has stepped forward to share her authentic wisdom. Conjuring The Calabash is not derivative nor is it tethered to tradition. This book is bold in its contemporary, eclectic, and visionary outlook. In its pages you will learn to address issues that are of today, you know, BLM, domestic violence, internet trolling, intersectionality, and wide-ranging sexuality. Bomani is a gifted Hoodoo and a modern-day wise woman. Run, don't walk, and get yourself a copy of Conjuring the Calabash."—Stephanie Rose Bird, author of Sticks, Stones, Roots & Bones and 365 Days of Hoodoo
