The Guiding Light to Power and Success by Mikhail Strabo This ground-breaking work (incorporating the text of "A Candle to Light Your Way") -- was originally published in 1943 and sold via ads in Black-owned newspapers. It opened up a nation-wide conversation on the increasing importance of conjure work with candles. Catherine Yronwode's research has uncovered the fact that Mikhail Strabo was a pen name of Sydney J. Rosenfeld Steiner (1894-1971), the Jewish American proprietor of Guidance House, a New York publishing company. Steiner was a participant-observer and documentarian who respectfully verified the sources of his information. Earlier observers of candle rituals in Spiritual churches, like Zora Neale Hurston, had placed a typical folklorist's emphasis on singular incidents. Steiner, on the other hand, collaborated with an African American minister, Rev. Adele Clemens, to compile a complete manual of candle altar services, which had an enduring impact. Mikhail Strabo's take on Spiritualist candle magic includes information on candle colour symbolism, how to dress candles, and, most amazingly, the manner of working a "sacred octave" of offertory candles that are lit daily for eight days, an adaption of the traditional eight-day Jewish Hanukkah celebration to the practice of African American hoodoo. 70 pages, paperback. |

Hex and Spellwork The Magical Practices of the Pennsylvania Dutch
By Karl Herr Discover the magic behind the enchanting Hex symbols. In Pennsylvania Dutch country, among the Old Order Amish and the strict Mennonite congregations who live their lives parallel to modern society, there remains the remnants of one of the oldest European magical practices found in America: Hex, or Hex und Speilwerk, or Pow Wow. In Hex and Spellwork, third-generation Hexenmeister Karl Herr teaches the actual practices and examines the history of the Swiss-German traditions from which Hex and Pow Wow are derived. Evoked to assist people in health and earthly prosperity and to achieve what they legitimately desire in life, or to counteract the negative spell of a witch, hex is positive magic, never used for evil. Hex work is firmly founded in the Christian religion, with a liberal dose of Swiss-German folk superstition. The Bible is a great influence on all Hex work, which originates in the Gospel of Matthew, where Christ insists that all people of good heart and a pure soul could perform miracles. 160 pages, paperback. |

The Long-Lost Friend, A 19th Century American Grimoire
by John George Hohman; edited by Daniel Harms "The Long Lost Friend" is an English-language edition of "Der Lange Verborgene Freund," a magical receipt-book written in German by Johann Georg Hohman, and published first in Pennsylvania in 1820. Its original title would be better translated as "The Long Hidden Vade-Mecum," but since 1846, it has been known in English as "The Long Lost Friend" and the author is now "John George" Hohman to his English-language readers. In the late 19th century, an edition bearing the title "Pow Wows of the Long Lost Friend" was published, and the form of German folk-magic described herein is now commonly referred to among Americans as "Pow Wow magic," despite the facvt that it has nothing to do with Native American culture, in which the word "Pow Wow" originated. In other words, this classic spell book is as mixed and minged as the United States itself. There is nothing like it, and it has been a classic American grimoire since 1820. This is an annotated edition that places the book's history in context. 312 pages, paperback. |

Was of Moses and 44 Keys to Universal Power
edited by Henri Gamache, attributed to Moses Originally published in 1945; this is a facsimile reprint. The renowned folk-magic scholar Henri Gamache collected this material from Mediaeval Coptic and Syrian grimoires that were attributed to Moses, the ancient leader of Israel. Then he wrote a lengthy preface in which he linked African tribal beliefs to ancient Jewish and Egyptian religions and sought to prove that Moses was "The Great Voodoo Man of the Bible," a remarkable thesis that foreshadowed the magical African Cultural Nationalism novels of Ishmael Reed (such as "Mumbo Jumbo") by several decades.

Each Psalm is prescribed for a different condition, from ending slander and drunkenness to drawing money and luck. Among Christian hoodoos, burning "condition" incense while reciting the Psalms is very popular.

6th and 7th Books of Moses, attributed to Moses, edited by Joseph Peterson For people interested in folk magic. The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, arguably one of the most popular magick books ever published, contains two secret apocrypha ascribed to Moses, perhaps pseudepigraphically. The book consists of a collection of texts,which claim to explain the magick Moses used to win the biblical magick contest with the Egyptian priest-magicians, part the Red Sea, and perform other miraculous feats. It includes instruction in the form of invocations, magick words, and seals for calling upon the angels to affect worldly ends, from the sublime (calling down a plague of locusts and frogs upon your enemy) to the mundane (getting more money). Many manuscripts and printed pamphlet versions circulated in Germany in the 1800s, and an English translation by Johann Scheible first appeared in New York in 1880 that had not been corrected or re-edited until now. In creating this restored, corrected edition, Joseph Peterson drew on Scheible's final edition of the text and his original sources. It will be of great interest to those who have suffered through prior editions and anyone looking for a traditional source of Western magick. Used in various modern traditions of American folk magick, from Pennsylvania Dutch hexmeisters and contemporary eclectic magicians, to African American hoodoo and root work practitioners. Updated or fresh translations from original German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and restoration of censored or left out passages in earlier editions and 35 pages of text never before translated. Describes the Biblical magick ascribed to Moses and its application. Extensively illustrated with over 100 magical seals, signs, and sigils. 320 pages, hardcover. (See our listing of seals where many of these are available separately, printed on parchment paper.) |

The attribution is spurious, needless to say, but the material itself is fascinating.

Dream Singers by Anthony Shafton A reverence for dreams runs like a clear spring through African American experience. Dream-singers distills this heritage through a vivid look at the private dream lives of more than one hundred African Americans. Gathered here are the dreams and understandings of the famous - such as literary lions John Edgar Wideman and Gloria Naylor - as well as everyday people: men, women, and children who discuss their dreams and visions and what they mean. Anthony Shafton explores the prevalence of ancestor dreams, the belief in predictive dreaming, the openness to dreamlike experiences in the waking state, and the link between dreams and spirituality at the core of the black dream experience. The exploration reveals an intriguing African connection underlying the tapestry of beliefs and attitudes. From traditional dream signs and dreams "meant for others" to picking numbers and deja vu, Dream-singers illuminates a wealth of interpretations and approaches, offering every reader invaluable insights into a distinctly American spiritual tradition. 288 pages, hardcover. |

His history of the future continues for at least another 1,797 years. Here is a book, by the world expert on Nostradamus, that in 54 pages decodes the prophet's sometimes confusing words of prophecy and takes you through a fundamental examination of the master prophet's life and magical practices. 352 pages, trade paperback. |

Numerology by Norman Shine The hidden meaning and power of numbers has been studied since ancient times. Just as astrologers use the planets and signs of the zodiac to explore relationships and predict the future, so do numerologists use numbers. Now, by following numerologist Norman Shine's clearly illustrated, easy-to-understand system, anyone can access and use the energy and power of numbers. Each letter of the alphabet has numerical value, and each number is an energy source. It is the way that these energies combine and relate to one another that determines how and why you behave the way you do; by comparing your numbers with another person's, you can explore your relationship to them. Plot the numbers of your birthday, and you can see the direction of your future. 128 pages, paperback. |

Reading Tea Leaves by A Highland Seer From time immemorial, humankind has tried to uncover the meaning of divining the future. While druids followed the stars and Greeks sought counsel from the Oracle at Delphi, the "spae-wives" of the Scottish highlands found the answers to life in the tea-leaf patterns in their cups. Lines of dust meant journeys, swans foretold of love, and snakes warned of disaster. These and other symbols were passed down from generation to generation. This work reproduces the writings of an anonymous Scottish seer who recorded the secrets of the ancient art of reading tea leaves, including an alphabetical list of the various signs and their meanings. It features illustrations of sample cups, and their interpretations show how to weave and balance the symbols together, transforming a cup of tea into the voice of the Fates. The book combines that manuscript with modern writings on the history and philosophy of foretelling the future. 96 pages, hardcover. |

Runes for Transformation by Kaedrich Olsen Runes have long been used as vital tools for transformation. The Norse employed them as tools for communication, and the Vikings would use them as wisdom before embarking on a journey or entering battle. Runic scholar Kaedrich Olsen reclaims the transformative power of the runes for readers today as a key to unlocking our potential for personal growth and our life's vision. Runes for Transformation is unlike any other rune book on the market, with Olsen's unique techniques and applications for this ancient alphabet including affirmations, NLP, visualizations, and meditation, as well as the historical background essential to embarking on this path. A highly respected teacher and transpersonal path worker, Kaedrich Olsen posits that the time for this "deeper working" of the runes has come and this will aid readers in both personal and collective evolution. Runes for Transformation is a rich resource and excellent guide for readers to take the steps to change their lives with a boldly modern approach to the ancient runes and for "change that really matters." 230 pages, paperback. |

A curiosity of hoodoo gambling magic, the text consists of four separate lists of objects and situations found in dreams with interpretations and lucky numbers for playing Policy, an illegal (and now obsolete) "numbers" game once popular in the black community.

Not much to look at, it is set apart from the others because it also contains material on lottery or lotto rundowns and work-outs, methods of number selection that do not rely on the symbolic divination of dreams. The two betting systems -- dream interpretation on the one hand and lottery rundowns and work-outs on the other -- are almost never mixed, so this is a convenient bridge between hoodoo based dream lore and numerology-based "system betting." 48 pages, saddle-stitched. |

BOOKS ON THE FOLKLORE AND SOCIOLOGY OF MAGIC AND RELIGION
|
Folklore is the study of people's customs, beliefs, and practices -- especially
those which are not imposed on them by mass-marketing or global media
corporations. The study of folklore contains many branches, including the study
of songs, dances, stories, magic, and religions which are transmitted from
person to person rather than devised by a paid "creative team" and force-fed to
the public via outlets such as films and television. Because folklore is
transmitted personally, its content varies from culture to culture, and people
with an interest in the subject often like to compare the customs of one culture
with those of another.
The books in this section deal with folklore in its many aspects, but with a focus on magic and religion, and a special emphasis on how African American rootwork, conjure, and hoodoo developed in America and where the practice of magic stands in today's American culture. |

Historical information about the collection of African American folklore can

Black Magic by Yvonne Chireau, hardcover Black Magic looks at the origins, meaning, and uses of Conjure--the African American tradition of healing and harming that evolved from African, European, and American elements--from the slavery period to well into the twentieth century. Illuminating a world that is dimly understood by both scholars and the general public, Yvonne P. Chireau describes Conjure and other related traditions, such as Hoodoo and Rootworking, in a beautifully written, richly detailed history that presents the voices and experiences of African Americans and shows how magic has informed their culture. Focusing on the relationship between Conjure and Christianity, Chireau shows how these seemingly contradictory traditions have worked together in a complex and complementary fashion to provide spiritual empowerment for African Americans, both slave and free, living in white America. 232 pages, hardcover. |

Conjure Times: Black Magicians In America by Jim Haskins and Kathleen Benson A lively, interesting, carefully researched look at a unique aspect of African-American history and culture that introduces the lives of black magicians, beginning with Richard Potter, "America's First Negro Magician," son of a plantation owner and a slave. Using black-and-white reproductions of playbills, advertisements, woodcuts, and period photographs, the history of the minstrel show and vaudeville is discussed as part of the development of theatrical magic shows. Slavery, racial discrimination, and segregation are discussed as part of the social history surrounding the lives of the performers profiled. The authors note that personal information on many performers was difficult to find, and the gaps help readers understand how much African-American history has been lost. Descriptions of popular trademark tricks are highlighted in boxes in each chapter. Budding magicians will find this book appealing, and it will be a great addition to African-American history collections. 174 pages, hardcover. |

Encountering Kali: : In the Margins, at the Center, in the West by Rachel Fell McDermott and Jeffrey J. Kripal Encountering Kali explores one of the most remarkable divinities the world has seen, the Hindu goddess Kali. She is simultaneously understood as a blood-thirsty warrior, a goddess of ritual possession, a Tantric sexual partner, and an all-loving, compassionate Mother. Popular and scholarly interest in her has been on the rise in the West in recent years. Responding to this phenomenon, this volume focuses on the complexities involved in interpreting Kali in both her indigenous South Asian settings and her more recent Western incarnations. Using scriptural history, temple architecture, political violence, feminist and psychoanalytic criticism, autobiographical reflection, and the goddess's recent guises on the Internet, the contributors pose questions relevant to our understanding of Kali, as they illuminate the problems and promises inherent in every act of cross-cultural interpretation. 322 pages, paperback. |

But Christmas is no ordinary folk observance. It is an evolving feast that over the centuries has absorbed elements from cultures all over the world--practices that give plants and plant spirits pride of place.

Spiritual Merchants,
by Carolyn Morrow Long
They can be found along the side streets of many American
cities: herb or candle shops catering to practitioners of
Voodoo, hoodoo, Santeria, and similar beliefs. Here one can
purchase ritual items and raw materials for the fabrication of
traditional charms, plus a variety of soaps, powders, and
aromatic goods known in the trade as "spiritual products." For
those seeking health or success, love or protection, these
potions offer the power of the saints and the authority of the
African gods. In Spiritual Merchants, Carolyn Morrow Long
provides an inside look at the followers of African-based belief
systems and the retailers and manufacturers who supply them.
Traveling from New Orleans to New York, from Charleston to Los
Angeles, she takes readers on a tour of these shops, examines
the origins of the products, and profiles the merchants who sell
them.

BOOKS ABOUT SPIRITUALISM
|
Spiritualism centers around the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living, whether via dreams or other signs, or through the assistance of a gifted spirit medium. Spiritualist churches, organizations, and associations do not adhere to a single creed; in fact, some groups specifically renounce the concept of having a creed and prefer that each member understand the truth of spirit contact through personal experience. A variety of sources have influenced the development of the many differing modern Spiritualist denominations. Among these influences, one can see clear traces of Protestant Christian, Pentecostal Christian, Catholic Christian, Quaker, New Thought, Deist, Hindu, Theosophical, and Neo-Pagan concepts. For instance, some Spiritualist organizations endorse the concept of the Summer-Land as a place where spirits reside after physical death, while others endorse the idea of ongoing spiritual reincarnation in physical bodies on Earth. Members of one Spiritualist body are unlikely to be entirely comfortable with the beliefs in another body that differs widely from their own, hence these organizations are considered as separate denominations in the over-arching religion of Spiritualism. |
