Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook: More Than 200 Spells Plus Over 100 Authentic New Orleans Formulas for Conjure Oils, Sachet Powders and Gris Gris

This book is well written and easy to read, as well as interesting and informative. The formulary section is detailed and gives you loads of recipes for oils, floor washes, powders, baths. There is also a spell section for a wide range of purposes. I also found the section on deities, powers, and saints fascinating too. basically if you are looking to start fixing tricks, or making gris gris in an authentic but simple manner, then you won't be disappointed with this book.

It's a good book, very well written and interesting but I've been finding discouraging the difficulties to find the ingredients if you can't find a botanic in your city. Five stars for the book but less for the ingredients. I think it's not easy for an european to get all the ingredients if is a beginner

Full of good information, both modern and folkloric, plus lots of interesting asides. Very easy to read too - highly recommended to anyone interested in real Hoodoo.

There is a lot of bad press about the authors credentials however this book is well referenced and she states all sources. This as a reference book is very good but if you want in depth information on Voodoo as a religion, you will need to look elsewhere

so interesting, packed with info all you need to know on the history of Voodoo ....

An easy read. Collected quite a few witchy notes for my witchy book :) Yes, I would recommend this book if your interested in Hoodoo.

Excellent book. More than what I expected. Everything you need to know about Voodoo and more. Highly recommended. Ordered and payed for the book, three days later it arrived. No complaints top class service

Very good book, caters to African hoodoo/voodoo practices across the diaspora from Haiti, Brazil, USA to the motherland Africa. Shows you how to make a wide range of oils and also touches some other non-African practices.

This is hands down the best book on the subject I've ever read. I wasn't expecting it to be THIS thorough. I've learned more from this one book than all the other hoodoo/Voodoo books I own combined. Loads of spells and oil recipes, but also lots of interesting history lessons that I found fascinating. The best!!

I am surprised I never wrote a review sooner but it's about time. I realized today that even years later I refer to this book again and again more than any other. As someone who's from New Orleans and who's taken a few of Ms Alvarado's classes she has become someone I trust as a teacher and a woman of high integrity. Her authenticity comes through not only in her work but in her teaching style. While I was reading some of the reviews though I unfortunately ran across some really nasty comments but I'm not surprised. There is a lot of back stabbing going on and these in particular are coming from the West coast and it makes you wonder how they can boldface claim formulas belong to a particular person yet in the same breath complain that these formulas are not authentic. Which is it? The traditional formulas from New Orleans that were passed down through families are what they are, and they certainly aren't owned or made better by someone who's not from there. These are real, honest formulas. I have to say I have had two very intense life changing experiences from her work with St. Expedite and my altar devoted to my ancestors and I attribute that to the details she gives. Her classes are much more in depth and personal as you would expect but this is an excellent reference book full of knowledge and information and I'd be at a huge loss without it. <3 <3 <3
