This book was one of my favorite books that I have on my bookshelf.It had all the instruction that I needed to make my own dolls, oils, incense, powders, washes and it also had a few good spells in it.It also had diagrams of all the doll rituals in it that explained how to set up your altar and where to put everything.I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in doll magick, voodoo or creating your own spell ingredients.

This book does not claim to be wiccan so be aware its not. Nor does it follow the rede made up by Gerald Gardner "an it harm none, do as ye will" It does not claim to be Vudu. The ingredients were not hard for me to find. I am a Ceremonial Magician and Witch (not wiccan by a long shot) I found this book to be very useful. Hey I even liked the Catholic stuff as I grew up in a Catholic household. This is defenitly a good spell book for pagans and non pagans. Hey if the Catholic stuff bothers you then just substatute pagan ideas for the Catholic ones. I actually thought this book was going to reek but was I ever wrong. The spells use plenty of candles and herbs, so if youre into that then this book of spells is the one to get. Ok His style is not much diffrent from Raymound Bucklands style so if you like Mr. Bucklands stuff you may just want to get this book.

Fun with Hoodoo May 30, 2003
20 out of 22 found this review helpful

This was a fun little book. It never claims to teach the religion of Vodou (or Vodun ore any other number of spellings) nor does it claim to align itself with Wiccan philosophy. As a practicing Wiccan I can differentiate between spells I (personally) should and should not cast. As to problems with karma it's not so bad, it doesn't have nearly as much baneful magic as the venerable Modern Witches Spellbook. If you want to work with this one you should try and find access to a botanica to get many of the supplies. If you don't want to hunt around for the more exotic herbs try The Supermarket Sorceress series, all of the ingrediants for those spells can be found at the local grocery store. I have other spellbooks that I look to more frequently but it's nice to have something with hoodoo flavor in the collection.

An 0.K. book for different kinds of people. March 7, 1999
16 out of 17 found this review helpful

I am new to the craft, and I found it didn't have as many spells in it as I liked. I found it had more rituals. I would rather have a book with spells that you can just say without having to make and oil or spend a lot of money on candles.

Karma is a self-made vibration! April 2, 2003
15 out of 22 found this review helpful

This isn't necessarily a book review (I've ordered the book and I'll review it later on.). However, I've come to notice a lot of reviews written by Wiccans about their concerns on the book's content - involving karma.

Wiccans tend to steer clear of books such as this (and I surely don't mean all Wiccans - just most) because it gives off a bit more information than healings and spirit conjurations. They are concerned over karma and the three-fold law.

Well they should be. Karma is a dangerous thing - for them. In my experience, I've come to learn a lot about how universal vibrations work. The essence of magick comes from the combination of the Mind and the Will. Wiccans are certain of karma, so for them it comes true as a part of their mind and will. Their minds believe in karma, and the will accepts that.

I myself am a Chaote (Chaos Magick). I therefore have nothing to fear from karma, unless I want to. That's all it takes - control your beliefs and they will take form.

There's nothing to fear from this book, unless you want there to be.
