Crossroads, haints, grandma’s prayers, Southern Folk Magic is more than Bible prayers and kitchen remedies. This living tradition involves resilience, healing, and everyday wisdom passed on from family to family. During this class, we will see the connections of African, Indigenous, and European influences that make up this spiritual practice, look at common tools and herbal material used, and at the end of class, we will learn how to set up your altar through the lens of Southern Folk Magic.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Gabriel Varzalyi-Lopez is a southern folk practitioner who is a devotee to his ancestors, nature spirits, and the God and Goddess of his mother and father. He is a seer, diviner, spiritual medium, and conjuror trained here in New Orleans, Louisiana. His practice and divinations have always been centered on community, resilience, and compassion. He has worked in New Orleans, Denver, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he currently calls home. Born into a lineage of witches, orthodox priests, farmers, artists, and rebels, he understands the blessing that has been placed upon his shoulders. An adventurous spirit, Gabriel feels and hears the call of Spirit through the wind and winding southern brooks, and on the highest mountain peaks, observing and watching the simple magics that each of us cherishes in our everyday lives.
