Interviewed on January 9, 2017
I met Janice Black for an interview after Bryson Wilkins introduced me to her. He knew that she had an interest in conjuring. Janice, who is younger than the other subjects, appears to be in her forties. She is a conjurer who had recently acquired the gift from a man at her church. She had asked him some questions about the practice, and he told her that they should both pray about it and then talk later. She said that she prayed about it, and got her answer, and that he told her he had prayed about it and had his answer. Their answers were that he should pass the gift to conjure or heal to her, and he did. She was very secretive and protective about any specific information regarding what he did to give her the gift and how to use to use the gift in any way. Janice believes that if anyone “who is not supposed to know” about the gift is told, then she will lose it herself.
A very religious person, Janice’s attitude revealed a great interest in learning more about faith healing and also expressed that she has been learning how to do reflexology. She told a story about buying a wart from a woman who works with her without the woman ever knowing. Janice said she just had seen the woman with the wart and had given the woman one dollar, but did not tell her what it was for. She only said, “Just take it.” Janice reported that the wart disappeared after she completed the conjuring.
Janice was very concerned that the practice of this type of faith healing is dying out, and that is one reason she wanted to help carry it on. She feels that younger generations are too skeptical about it and too busy with modern life to be interested in it.
