sherees afrofuturist concert at carnegie hall
hello world, i been sending hoodoo missives
to my trainees, ima do excerpts and fragments
here, dont know that ima maintain it, it is
occult knowledge, but im fishing for fisherfolk
we will see
--------
my job is to facilitate
your growth / identity as tribal medicine folk, tribal
custodians helping the tribe get thru another winter
taking care of the tribal soul / culture thru our works
giving it what it needs, extracting what it don’t
being historical forces, if you hanging w/ me
that mean you in the history books too.
its important that you understand this and conduct yourselves accordingly,
assume every word, every move will be judged by history / future generations
I recall when I 1st realized I was a player and everybody would know my
business and be judging me and I almost walked away from the game
decided its worth any cost to be historical / destinical
to actually make a difference, to ‘save’ the race
and all humanity, to be one of historys great teachers
henceforth conduct yourself as if you are staring in
a biopicand every move be conscious of how its going
to read one day, how its gon play on the big screen,
write your own script
Ima show you how to make it happen
conduct yourself as you aspire to be and
you are - this is the key to conjuration
how to make real in the world that which was not
so lets talk about magic, what is it, how does it work
1st we reject folk magic, who got time for love spells
folk magic is fine for a folk people but we aint been
a folk people for generations, that’s the hoodoo past
we the hoodoo future
and we aint talking about stage magic, pulling
rabbits out the hat, we talking high magic:
- playing w/reality and the divine mind: magic
- enhancing the human condition: rootwork
- shaping future generations, guide and
guardian of human destiny: destinywork
- oneness w / divinity / the great mojo: godwork
so how does one go about being a magician
1st you must believe in magic, believe that you can.
actually make real into the world that which was not,
to get there I need you to 1st have a hoodoo identity
I want those hoodoo names by this weekend
then I got to teach you magical meditation, in which you
learn how to vitalize imagery until real in the world
and magical transformation, in which you learn how
to shapeshift thru dimensions, two headed folk
but I cant do any of these until
you have basic compentency
1) a hoodoo identity and 2) understand
magic and how to make it happen all
enabled thru 3) meditational practice
yes we doing baby steps, I AM and
establishing meditational practice
but cant get to 2nd gear wo going thru 1st
I need a name by this weekend
and I think ima have you keep a record
of meditational practice for which I will
want a weekly report, 20 minutes a week
in 5 minute sessions ought to be doable
and I know we are all under the life gun,
I don’t do it myself, I will also report
but meditation will improve your daily grind,
like sleep renews you, meditation will too,
yall be safe
HH4:
. . . .
one more point since I got you here
an incident happened w/my mentor
babajohn Killens, the great griot
master of brooklyn, when I was a
youngster and a power freak, (still am
just more spiritual about it now)
cause one day he pulled me aside and said
you a brilliant writer, art, but with a little
compassion you could be profound
All I heard was brilliant, wasn’t until
life had humbled me some I realized
he was trying to make sure that my
contribution, as his student, would be
warm and loving instead of hard and cold
an old shaman trying to take
care of the tribal soul,
as I shall try to do thru you
I tell james all the time: don’t let me lay
my dreams on you, if I ask for too much
just yank my chain, no harm no foul
everybody aint about being change
agents but you are into being
contemporary hoodoos
tribal medicine folk - taking care
of the tribe is what we do
if you aint got the power to change
things what kind of conjuror are you
all my love
