February Pick: The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic by Lindsey Stewart
This book traces the hidden legacy of conjure women—enslaved healers, Voodoo queens, blues women, and midwives—whose rituals, remedies, and artistry shaped American culture and survival. Lindsey Stewart uncovers how their practices, rooted in ancestral magic and resistance, influenced everything from medicine and music to fashion and folklore.
Non-residents may register for programs starting on Monday, 12/29, at 10 am.
