Healing Tools for the Modern Woman
conjure: con-jure /ˈkänjər/ Make (something) appear unexpectedly or seemingly from nowhere as if by magic.
The Life of a "Conjure Woman" . . .
Modern American Women are often fed a damaging rhetoric of "hard work" and presented
with the impossible challenge of "having it all" ,
(beauty, brains, sex appeal, high powered jobs, engaged motherhood and a happy marriage)
as the ultimate determinant of our success.
Conjure Woman challenges that ideal.
As the definition states, the conjure woman is able to make something appear unexpectedly or seemingly from nowhere as if by magic. Her magic however, is creativity.
In a world saturated by the automatic and formulaic, the Conjure Woman uses every available resource, seen and unseen, to manifest her ideal life.
The Conjure Woman first defines success as a personal, internally rooted endeavor,
then works to arrive at her desired space and place in life.
The Conjure Woman lives by TRUTH...The RevolUtionary Theory of Happiness, and therefore creates a charmed life.
The Conjure Woman has cultivated a spiritual connection that allows her to create internally and then externally a self that is healed, whole and ready for the joy that the self defined successful life brings.
