In many spiritual traditions practitioners call upon the spirits of the dead for help. These spirits, either contacted directly or through the use of graveyard dirt, are believed to possess unique abilities that can aid in various magical tasks. This "graveyard work" involves offerings and rituals, similar to working with crossroads spirits. Rootworkers and conjure doctors believe that the deceased can offer powerful assistance in areas like love, protection, finances, or even controlling enemies. They may perform graveyard work for clients seeking career success, love, legal matters, or spiritual blessings sometimes creating talismans or remedies for their clients using dirt collected from a graveyard leaving offerings of coins or alcohol on graves. Offerings to ancestral spirits, however, might be more personal, including things like tobacco, candy, or food. Ancestor veneration can also be practiced at home on a dedicated altar using previously collected graveyard dirt. The specific dirt chosen may depend on the spirit's connection to the rootworker or client, their past skills, or the way they passed away.

For millennia, flickering flames haven't just illuminated rituals – they've fueled them. Candles, imbued with symbolism and potent energy, have danced at the heart of magic since ancient times. From guiding prayers skyward to attracting prosperity and more, these wicks whispered intentions and magnified the will of the caster. Their history is a testament to the enduring human belief in the transformative power of firelight.

What IS Spiritual Geography?

You can't help but notice there's an ever-expanding focus on the concept of "place" as a way to claim our identity, our heritage, in a world that seems to force conformity and uniformity. There is no shortage of books -- some good, others perhaps not so much -- that attempt to use traditional anthropological methods to examine the relationships between earth, place, people, and people in a certain place. This new focus on spiritual geography adds a third dimension to landscape that is spiritual, accounting for the continuing transformation of consciousness, especially in a religious and spiritual sense.

Join Reverend Art and Reverend James and our special guest Brother Christopher as we explore the intricacies of developing your spiritual geography!
