Chesapeake Conjure Society
We need each other for spiritual, political, emotional, and physical upliftment and advocacy.
Community Matters.
We’re upholding the Indigenous Beliefs of the AfroChesapeake Experience.
“There is no Hoodoo without Community.”
-Mama Rue
Chesapeake Conjure Society is not a coven.
Nor is it a Spiritual House or place where you can be initiated. It’s quite literally a Community, a intergenerational one. We come together to dance, eat, drink, pour libation, set ritual, give reverence to nature, honor our ancestors, learn, teach, and do activism work that’s grounded in spirituality. You can belong to an Ile, Spiritual House, Coven and still be a part of this Community. There are no obligations, just show up to one of our events with cool and sweet intentions.
Twerk In The Trees
A Black Witch Cultural Event Series where we meet in green spaces to twerk, whine, belly dance, meditate, and be safe with one another. This event explores ecotherapy and forest bathing, then combines it with sacred movement workshops and Black Spiritual Tradition.
#SayHerName
Ancestral Elevation
A Black Femme Centered Ancestral Elevation event for Black Women and Girls who have fallen due to systemic misogynoir. This event focuses on community education, collective grieving and ritual.
Hoodoo 101 Teach-Outs
Our local community taps on us to support their events with public Hoodoo 101 Teach Outs. We provide hands-on Hoodoo, Altar Building, Ceremonial, Historical, Ethnoecological, and Rootwork learning to African American communities in the Chesapeake area.
Juneteenth Sunrise
Ringshout
Every June 19th at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, we support Linnea Holt, and a local Orisha community, for a sunrise soiree and Ringshout to celebrate Juneteenth.
Working with the Dead
in Black Cemeteries
Our work with local Cities of the Dead aims to assist already established efforts to advocate for, clean up, and perform ancestral and spirit engagement for often socially neglected burial grounds that make up historically Black graveyards. We gather stories, pour libations, and decorate gravesites as called. This works also leans into genealogy and family tree building.
All Saints Day
All Saints Day, November 1st, is a Hoodoo celebration of the Dead. It’s a set holiday dedicated to cemetery work to honor the dead. We clean grave sites, pour libation, give offerings, and celebrate with song and dance at local, historically Black cemeteries. Learn more at hoodoosociety.com/allsaints
