Starr Casas' Biography
I am a 56 year old Conjure Woman born in Kentucky. I've been a conjure woman all my life. I learned how to do this work from my momma and grandmomma who learned from their elders.
Conjure or what people now call Hoodoo has always been around. In my family we didn't call it Hoodoo. We simply knew this to be "Conjure" or "work."
I've been a Conjure woman for over 40 years. I first learned how to read playing cards at 16 and by the time I was 17 I was already doing spiritual cleansings or what some call uncrossing work. I also did healing work at this time. By the time I turned 25 I was doing work for the family but at that moment I knew it was time to start helping others. At that point I did Conjure work full time for folks that were referred to me by my relatives or by others who knew me. I always worked only by word of mouth until three years ago when it was time to share my gift of Conjure work on the Internet.

At the turn of the millennium I started a home based personal and business Management Company for a handpicked clientele of around 13 individuals and small companies. My clientele is mainly entrepreneurs and creative talent who are great visionaries and experience great success. This business continues today and offers a very grounding element to my life.
Orion Foxwood Biography
Born with “the veil” (a localized term for the second sight) in 1963 in Winchester Virginia, an area located in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia that is rife with folklore, ghost tales, folk magic and lore. His father was part Lakota Native American and his culture is Southern and Appalachian. His mother was born in a slave quarter on a plantation called “The Hollingsworth Place” in 1934 where a freed slave affectionately known as “Miss Granny” was both her midwife and spiritual God-Mother. All of these distinctive elements formed the foundations of his cultural spirituality and magical practices as a teacher of “veil” practices that focus on spirit work and conjure.
