TAREN S.
Author. Crossroad Witch. High Priestess.
"I am who I am. Witch. I give honor to those who have gone before me. To those who carried it as a burden, I cry for you. To those who carried it in joy, I dance for you.
Most importantly, I remember."
Taren S. is a proud Southern Conjuring Witch with over 40 years of experience in the magickal community. She founded the House of Witchcraft, a tradition that honors, respects, and celebrates all paths of magick and expressions of Divinity. The House of Witchcraft is more than just a magickal tradition; it is a community that embraces diversity in spiritual practices and encourages individuals to find their unique connection to the Divine. Taren's leadership has fostered an inclusive environment where practitioners from various backgrounds can share their knowledge and experiences, making her a respected figure in the magickal world.
​Her first book, "Hoodoo in the Psalms," achieved bestseller status, reflecting her ability to connect with readers and share her deep knowledge of Hoodoo, an African American spiritual tradition combining elements of African, Native American, and European magickal practices. In this book, Taren explores the powerful intersection of the Psalms and Hoodoo, offering readers practical guidance on how to incorporate these ancient texts into their magickal workings. The success of this book showcases her skill in making complex magickal concepts accessible and understandable.
Building on the success of her first book, Taren has written "Conjuring Dirt: Magick of Footprints, Crossroads, and Graveyards." This new work delves into the magickal significance of natural and symbolic elements such as footprints, crossroads, and graveyards. Taren provides insights and rituals that help practitioners harness the energies of these powerful sites for their magickal practices. Her writing is both informative and accessible, making her a valuable resource for practitioners at all levels of experience.
Taren recently returned from spending the past seven years in what she humorously refers to as a foreign country—California. This period allowed her to explore different spiritual landscapes and broaden her understanding of diverse magickal traditions. Her experiences in California have enriched her practice and teaching, bringing new perspectives to her Southern Conjuring Witchcraft.
​
Now, Taren resides on a small farm near John’s Island, just outside Charleston, South Carolina. The serene and mystical environment of the South Carolina Lowcountry provides the perfect backdrop for her work. Her farm is not just a place of residence; it is a living embodiment of her magickal philosophy, where nature and spirituality intertwine. This setting allows her to continue practicing and teaching her unique blend of magick, deeply rooted in the traditions and folklore of the American South.
​
In addition to her writing and teaching, Taren remains an active member of the magickal community. She frequently conducts workshops, seminars, and rituals, sharing her wisdom and experience with others. Her dedication to her craft and her community has inspired countless individuals to explore their own magickal paths. Taren is not just a practitioner of Southern Conjuring Witchcraft; she is a guardian of its traditions and a beacon of light for those seeking to understand and practice this ancient form of magick.
​
Taren's influence continues to shape the magickal community, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations of witches and magickal practitioners. Her work stands as a testament to the rich and diverse traditions of Southern Conjuring Witchcraft, and her ongoing contributions ensure that these practices will continue to thrive and evolve.
