HOODOO HERB AND ROOT MAGIC
A Materia Magica of African-American Conjure
by catherine yronwode
This is the first book of its kind, presenting accurate botanical
information about the roots and herbs that are employed in African-American
folk-magic, with sample spells that will show you how to make and
use your own mojo bags,
spiritual baths, and
incense.
Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic is a
practical manual for those working in traditions such as
hoodoo,
rootwork,
witchcraft,
spell-craft,
conjure,
white magick, black magick,
pow-wow magic,
hexenkraft, and herb magic. Included are
hundreds of easy
love spells,
money spells,
protection spells,
healing spells, curses, and revenge spells, plus a wealth of
botanical lore for the student of herbology.
With solid sales and enthusiastic reviews, we believe that
Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic is
well on its way to becoming a standard in the fields of folk magic
and kitchen-witchery.
Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic is available in its Third
Revised Edition -- more herbal entries than ever, more magic
spells than ever -- and no change in price! All copies
purchased from The Lucky
Mojo Curio Co. Occult Shop or from our online
affiliate
The Herb-Magic.Com Magical Herb Shop
are signed by the author.
- 224 pages, available in trade paperback softcover ($14.95)
or limited edition clothbound hardcover ($39.95).
- 500 herbs, roots, minerals, and rare zoological curios, with
taxonomic ("Latin") names for proper identification.
- 750 traditional spells, tricks, and magical recipes. These
are complete, easy-to-use, and highly practical, designed for
readers who want to go beyond the "romance" or symbolism of herb
magic and actually mix up and make their own potions, dressing
oils, bath crystals, incenses, floor washes, and mojo bags. If
you grow or gather herbs, this book will teach you exactly how to
use them.
- 50 black and white line illustrations of common magical
herbs and roots of North America.
- 6 handy charts in which dozens of conditions -- such as
love-drawing or protection -- are listed and the herbs for each
condition are given in alphabetical order. This saves time when
looking for ways to use herbs that are available -- and you can
use these charts to find substitutions, if necessary.
- Cross-referencing: Every herb is accompanied by at least one
spell. End-of-entry cross-references make it easy to find other
spells in which the herb is used -- no flipping back to an index:
Cross-references are right in the entry itself.
- Bibliography: Authentic recipes are drawn from first-hand
experience and 100 years of solid folkloric research.
