Deep in the southern swamps, conjure is alive and well.
From the thick of Louisiana, to the coast of the Carolinas, roots are still worked, and late at night, the Old Black Man can be met at the crossroads.
On the coast of Mississippi, gators hunt, owls screech, and toads croak. Among them you can find Toad's Bone Apotheca, and Papa Toad Bone, digging roots, grinding bones, and gathering old Spanish Moss. These are a few of the tools of the conjure man. Papa Toad Bone traverses the southern roads with a trunk packed with his goods, working with people on their conditions, and telling folk of the old southern way.
I am Papa Toad Bone, Mississippi coast native, and conjure man. I bought my first piece of loadstone from a conjure shop when I was a teenaged boy, and have been making my way down that old dirt road to the left ever since. I spent many, many years looking in various sources, from different ages and different places. It was after standing at the crossroads and going to the waters, that these wet lands of mine answered. I discovered what was here all along. That is how I came to work roots in the southern fashion.
