【Workshop(s)】Xuanhen. Yesglu│Hu Poison Workshop: Elixir at the Crossroads/Single Walk/With Materials

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52065703759_58654835c6_b.jpg Hoodoo originated from Voodoo, which mixes Islamic esotericism, as well as various American and European magics; and integrates into Christianity, becoming an element of the black holy church. It is the root of blues, jazz, soul and gospel songs, as well as the soul of African American literature and art. Businessmen in the 20th century misappropriated the poison and misunderstood it. Katrina Hazzard-Donald said: "They reduce bullshit to gimmicks, just to get lust, money, and make it materialistic." In fact, Poison Magic, like its Haitian compatriots—has deep African philosophical roots. Scholars even see Egyptian mythology as the foundation of pan-African thought. Dark races are not as slave owners claim: only animal nature and desire. In the face of adversity, they retain their distinctive beauty and strong tolerance, and are able to continue their culture and influence future generations. It is not a commercial trick to criticize the enemy. －－－－－－－－－－－ ***- -[Texture experience, one person can make a class]- -*** Fees include: venue fee, cleaning fee, lecturer fee 【Full participation】Single ticket $2800 10:00-16:00 (including leather magic bag material, vegetarian food) 【Full Participation】$5500 off for two persons 10:00-16:00 (including leather magic bag material, vegetarian food) 【First Half】Single Ticket $1900 10:00-13:00 (including leather magic bag material) 【First Half】Double Discount $3700 10:00-13:00 (including leather magic bag material) ****In response to the participation of different students, we reserve flexible space for sharing and communication; therefore, there may be some differences in the process time of the day, and the actual experience activities shall prevail**** －－－－－－－－－－－ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **▸ ▸ ▸**In a multi-ethnic society, what can we learn from the poison? **\ 10:00-13:00 The first half of the Poison Course /** **▍ seeking ritual seeking** Ho-po magicians are known as "conjure doctors", who are good at bewitching people with songs and dances, transforming into monkeys, rabbits, foxes, and summoning gods. However, the "experts" never believed that they had the right to summon God and enslave Loa. Instead, they need to be "hunted" and "cooked" by God; to make themselves a muffin, fried chicken, gumbo, or any kind of soul food that nourishes the crowd. The San call it finding water, being "caught" by the river. "You are the salt of the earth. If the salt loses its taste, what can be used to make it salty again?" **▍ cast magic mojo** "Root doctors" is also synonymous with African-American wizards. Some of their responsibilities have been replaced by formal medicine; however, there are also internal "planting" techniques that are not known to outsiders, and even people of African descent have forgotten. Inspired by the Celtic revival, this herbal root witchcraft has returned to light. Even if you don't understand pharmacology or plants, it doesn't matter. As a resident of the Cement forest, you can still plant your own world tree. All you have to do is understand the "gardening" concept of Hu Po to create a portable gris-gris that brings luck, charm and joy. The course provides lucky small items such as real leather spell bags, sacred poems, flowers and plants. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52065605983_9fa23b517f_b.jpg **\ 13:00-14:00 Tasting soul food /** (lacto-ovo) Students who sign up for the complete content can enjoy fried chicken and muffins on the spot to welcome the second half of the teaching. Soul food is not only the energy of happiness, but also the expression of the magic of the poison; it enshrines the body and brings the mind to touch God. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52200089914_7d992bf71d_b.jpg **\ 14:00-16:00 Second Half Advanced Course /** (Cannot register individually) **▍New Orleans Voodoo Sacrifice** If students can master the magic of Hu Po (or be mastered by them), they can learn advanced content and understand the black magic of New Orleans Voodoo. In the second half of the course, we will delve into the dark core of this childlike and mysterious art. The content is esoteric knowledge and is only open to on-site participants. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52111640223_6ccc48b8db_b.jpg **<Jes grew> Hu poison course Q&A** All are welcome to attend this one-day workshop; each participant will receive an exclusive custom leather charm bag (gris-gris). Students can enjoy meals in the second half. Mysticism culture is really unpopular in Taiwan. We receive many curious messages. They were curious about the work of poison, voodoo, and Marwygafen. This article organizes several frequently asked questions and explains them one by one. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: What is Hu poison?** **𝐀:** Hoodoo, African American magic, was a cousin of the voodoo religion; it's as if magism also once belonged to elements of Taiwanese aboriginal religion. However, witchcraft is more malleable than institutionalized dogma - even if the creed of African Americans is "inclusive" in itself, but poison is even better. All activities such as art, literature, music, and soul food are all manifestations of poison. It absorbs neighboring cultures without limit and develops in multiple ways, which makes Hu poison easy to be misunderstood and abused, resulting in many stereotypes. Such as: cruel living sacrifices, demon contracts, cursed dolls, cult members, criminals... These false rumors, although deepening the public's fear, subtly exaggerate nonsense. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: So, is there any danger in signing up for this course? Will I be forced into Satanism?** **𝐀:** Won't. You don't get access to that kind of big shot. He has no time to descend on this cultural desert. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: So, by enrolling in this course, I can learn evil, powerful forbidden spells?** **𝐀:** ! It's interesting! Things always go this way. If someone is afraid of non-mainstream stuff, there is bound to be someone who expects anti-social behavior. The latter expects our sorcery to be more "evil" and radical to suit its purpose. (Whether it's "Nature's Voice" or "Esgrohe") It is true that Hudu has many false negative impressions. But I wouldn't say that it is completely in line with contemporary morality; we will teach true nonsense in a safe, understandable, and non-distorting category; as to how "shady" we should do it, it is up to the students themselves. choose. However, people with bad intentions often spend their energy on unnecessary things; they are so greedy that they have no purpose and lack of focus. Therefore, not to speak of white magic or black magic, even the basic principles cannot be grasped. My teaching experience echoes this ancient truth. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: Okay, that's good and bad. What are the taboos for learning Hu poison?** **𝐀:** We have no rules of conduct. But, as I said before - the morality of ancient learning does not fully correspond to current thinking. So unless you're a staunch atheist; otherwise, we'd better be courteous, kind to each other, and professional. Enjoy the party! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: If you have a devout faith, do you need to convert before you can enroll in the course?** **𝐀:** Poach is not a religion, so you don't need to worship the New Orleans gods. However, relevant people believe that even if it is a pure witchcraft activity, there are gods involved. Although they are not the protagonists, they still take care of all beings, as long as the parties involved speak up. Conversely, for arrogant blasphemers, they do not change their "enthusiasm"; the difference is that the latter has no chance of "rejection". https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: Forget about ghost courses. You have taught Continental magic, Indian witchcraft in the past. Now, we have begun to promote the poison, isn't there any doubt about cultural appropriation?** **𝐀:** If you return to the original meaning of the word "cultural appropriation", there will be no such scruples. The occupation of a weak culture by a strong culture is often the basis for misappropriation. At that point, our question is, why would the parties adopt a particular text? For what purpose? You can just memorize Hebrew, wear stereotyped clothing, sing so-and-so dances and ballads, memorize a bunch of diagrams and phrases, and make yourself look "like a magician." However, if the content of the text doesn't make sense to you, that's appropriation, or "misappropriation." The real appearance of things has not been paid attention to; its peripheral effects have been overwhelming and distorted the original meaning. In Xuanheng's work, he has indeed encountered such people. They reject the rebellious spirit of the pagans, are unwilling to delve into the real psychology of the ancestors, and are not interested in the inner journey of the shaman (real witchcraft!), but want to become a "strong and confident" "shaman"? This is complete cultural appropriation. A truly valuable culture belongs to all mankind; the premise is that it must be "itself" and not a frivolous item. Rest assured, we know the value of the poison and what it means to Easterners. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52117838329_81f2d5428b_o.jpg **𝐐: Then, why do Orientals learn Hu Po? How to get started?** **𝐀:** We are rooted in Chinese culture, but we have few competent teachers who can reproduce the ideal of sages; however, based on cultural self-confidence, we are unwilling to give up dead texts. Society relies on high-altitude artillery, ignoring real emotions and ignoring the deep human nature. Everyone becomes a "slave of a non-existent God". In contrast, the insights of the "slave predecessors" in the American South will be the solution. Hu Du's mana, for the Orientals, is more powerful and flesh and blood. If you delve deeper into the connotation, you will even find many treasures, which can be in line with Eastern thinking and make the "zombies of Sinology" revived. If you aspire to be a Doctor of Herbal Roots, go ahead and do it. There are no precepts, no thresholds for qualifications, only true intentions that can lead you to entry. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ． ． . ． ． . https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51829948120_88e9b210e1_o.jpg
