About the author
Taren S is the author of Conjuring Dirt (Moon Books, 2023) and Hoodoo in the Psalms: God's Magick (Moon Books, 2019). Conjuring Dirt is a guide to working magically with dirt gathered from graveyards, footprints, crossroads, and other significant locations, treating it as a practical tool within folk-magic practice. Hoodoo in the Psalms presents itself as a grimoire of magical workings drawn from the biblical Psalms, offering more than 160 workings intended for both beginners and experienced practitioners of hoodoo. Catalogued under occult-philosophy and folk-magic, the two books share a grounding in hoodoo and conjure traditions, treating everyday and religious materials, dirt and scripture alike, as sources of magical power. Taren S's catalogue is addressed to practitioners of hoodoo and folk magic looking for specific, workable techniques rather than general introductions to the tradition.
