Description
Roots are our ancestor’s Magick
Summer for Juniper has finally arrived, which means rootwork summer with Grandma can finally begin!
It’s time to collect healing herbs to place into protective mojo bags; to fill mason jars with all the love, history, dirt, and magick one can fit in them. It’s time to talk to the tranquil willow trees and feel the soft earth between one’s toes; to honor one’s ancestors and hear Grandma share their stories, with her dog Shiloh underfoot.
Rootwork summer means it’s time to be a magick hoodoo child again.
From National Book Award finalist Amber McBride comes a loving story about rootwork, a powerful African spiritual practice, and the significance of past and present familial connections and traditions, reminding us how magickal and sacred it is to reconnect with the people we love, the earth, and one’s heritage, and the healing power that provides.
