High John Mythology
In the mythos, John de Conquer was an African prince who refused to be broken by slavery.
The Lore says that he outwitted the Devil to escape from America, to his homeland of Africa, with his love, the Devil’s daughter… Lilith.
In order not to be tracked or found again, he left his powers accessible to us, by hiding them in a root.
