From snakes, spiders, scorpions, and more - to have 'Live things in you,' to be 'tricked in your skin,' is perhaps one of the most controversial, fascinating, and dreaded of curses found within the hoodoo tradition.
Join Professor Porterfield as he guides us in a discussion about this classic and malefic work. Including perspectives not only magical, but also physiological, psychological, historic, and practical. This class is sure to get under your skin.
