Pineapples and Magnolias

When you think of the South, what comes to mind? For many people, it conjures up images of sprawling plantations, grand old homes and, of course, magnolias and pineapples. But there's much more to the South than that. It is also a land steeped in history and tradition, including its own brand of magic known as "conjure."

Conjure is a form of folk magic that roots directly from African/Caribbean traditions brought over by slaves. Over the years it blended in with American Christianity and European Witchcraft as a form of survival, and it relies heavily on ancestral connection, dirt, use of herbs, roots and other natural materials. Conjurers, also known as "root doctors," use their knowledge of herbal medicine and magic to help their clients with everything from love and money problems to healing the sick.

The use of pineapple in southern conjure is thought to date back to the days when slaves were brought over from Africa. Pineapples were a symbol of wealth and luxury, and they were often used in magical spells to bring prosperity. As they are not native to the South, pineapples were also thought to have powerful cleansing properties that could help drive away evil spirits.

Today, pineapple is still used in southern conjure for its ability to attract wealth and luck. It is often combined with other ingredients to create powerful magic spells. A fair different meaning from trending decorative print and other things, right? Today, pineapples are still used in southern conjure for their magical properties. They are often placed in the home to bring good luck, or given as gifts to friends and family.

Magnolias are another important symbol in southern conjure. Magnolia trees are native to the South, and they have been used in magic for centuries. Magnolia blossoms are thought to be powerful symbols of love, and they are often used in spells to attract a lover or to make someone fall in love with you. Magnolia branches are also used to make wands and other magical tools. They are rooted deep within the church, family, and social activities. Ever seen "Sweet Magnolia's" (TV show)?

Magnolias and pineapples are two important symbols in southern conjure. With deep roots of respect, history, and tradition. Traditions stemming from African and Caribbean decent and as you can guess it, white people loved them both so much they stole them too. Not understanding the significance but rather they thought it was pretty and yummy. But that's another story. Today, they are still used in southern conjure for their magical properties. Marigolds are often used in spells to attract love, while pineapples are thought to bring good luck and prosperity.
