Conjure Knits Podcast Insights

I have also gone by the names of Ivy Meadow and Calypso Conjure.... To be honest, after a while I just wanted to be myself.... So, here I am, I'm Lynna :)

Born and raised out in the boonies of southeast Texas; I come from very humble beginnings.... My parents divorced when I was only 4 so we pretty much depended on my grandparents for everything.... PawPaw was a Preacher down at the Baptist church and MawMaw was the woman you went to if you ever needed ANYTHING.

MawMaw did a lot of STUFF.... Not only was she the Preacher's wife, but she also took care of the garden and the animals... I shit you not, to this day I will NOT eat chicken on the bone because I saw what that woman did to those chickens.... Uhgg!! I'm scarred for life! It wasn't just about the church, the garden, or the animals though.... My MawMaw would go out on the porch with just a broomstick and she could sweep away a storm. Her needle on a string would tell if you were having a girl or boy baby.... She was constantly sewing, crocheting, playing cards, canning, cooking, baking, telling stories, taking care of us kids, whipping up hot toddies and only God knows what else.... Most people called her a Witch.... I just called her MawMaw...

​Around the age of 5, I remember carrying on conversations with Spirits.... Hmm, I must be a Witch like MawMaw... Or, at least that's what I thought.... That is until I actually joined a Wiccan coven.... Three years and two degrees later, I realized that this was not at all what my MawMaw did or was... I decided to leave the coven and venture out on my own to find out who I am, what I am, where I come from.... That is when I saw a lady (whom I had met a decade before) at the flea market.... We got to talking and I was like, "Holy Shit! You are like me and my MawMaw!!" Since then, we have become very close friends and I have learned that we were not witches.... I am a HooDoo Practitioner.... Rootworker!!! CONJURE WOMAN!!!!
​
I read cards, do rootwork, create soaps and oils, knit scarves, hats, and tarot card/bone bags.... As a volunteer for Soldiers’ Angels, I knit a buttload of chemo caps for patients at VA hospitals across the United States.
