About the event
This is a 120-minute intermediate through experienced level workshop, in Sophia's (main level)
Art of War Magics is a hands-on workshop for spiritual workers, organizers, and legal defense allies supporting communities navigating ICE enforcement, racial profiling, and judicial inequity. We treat conjure as infrastructure: practical spiritual technologies reinforcing mutual aid, documentation, and legal strategy when safety and freedom are at stake.
Grounded in historical witchcraft and conjure practiced under policing, criminalization, and displacement, this workshop adapts those methods for present realities of surveillance, intimidation, and legal precarity.
Participants learn to assess a situation’s terrain, institutional timelines, power dynamics, material risk, consent boundaries, so responses are strategic rather than reactive. We craft three workings: Scout Charm for situational awareness and safe passage; Law Keep Away Powder for invisibility, evasion, and spiritual deflection from hostile scrutiny; and Victory in Court Spiritual Bath for success and favorable movement through legal processes.
Participants leave with completed tools, recipes, and a shared framework for immigration support that stays collective, strategic, and responsive to this time.
Art of Warrior Magics is a hands-on workshop teaching spiritual workers and organizers to craft conjure tools for immigration defense and court case support. Drawing on historical practices used under policing and displacement, participants make three workings: Scout Charm, Law Keep Away Powder, and Victory in Court Bath, while learning strategic protocols that integrate spiritual work into mutual aid and legal defense.
