Knowledge:

High John The Conqueror is a Spirit with a powerful story. It’s been said that he was an African prince captured and sent to North America as slave. Somehow, this powerful man managed to escape and make his way back home to Africa. His is one of the very few stories told of Africans sold to the Americas as slaves and with all the odds against them managed to make their way back home to Africa. It is that power of survival, fight, resilience, focus, resourcefulness and courage that we call upon when conjuring the Spirit that is High John The Conqueror.

Working with High John The Conqueror:

To petition him, set him a small altar on a table. Light his candle, offer him a cup of water, 2 cups of coffee one without sugar and one with sugar, pour him a cup of rum, gin or red wine. You may also offer him a cigar and light it for him like an incense everyday while you’re praying. This is a temporary altar. Once the ritual is finished you can dismantle the altar.
