Shutting Down

Hello everyone. Afrofantasy here.  Life is...what it is and as all of you might be able to tell from the lack of recent posts, I no longer have time to maintain this site. Because of this, I have elected to suspend this page effective immediately. I will leave it up because this is exactly what I needed as a young writer: an archive of fantasy art that centered and uplifted black people. However, I can no longer find content and in any event, there are several other sites that perform a duplicate purpose.  It’s been a great time here, and I’ve met some cool people. But now my watch ends. Be good humans, love each other, and don’t take any wooden nickels.

Conjure woman from Washington County Georgia and great grandmother of [“Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly”] artist Inga Kimberly Brown. Brown writes,

I met a new artist friend, Denise Alvarado and she has published a new book of articles and art that have much to do with our relative Voodoo, [what] we call Hoodoo and Root Work. As to my knowledge some of my Grandmother’s definitely lived by this old tradition and practiced it. Some of them did not. When Denise saw a picture of one of my Great Grandmother’s she asked if she could use the picture of my Grandmother Marie Steel in her new journal “Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly” I said yes and stated that “my Grandma Marie would have loved it I’m sure”.  

Inga’s grandma Marie represents so much of what southern hoodoo is all about. She was black and Cherokee Indian, and that cigar…
