A Deck of Spells: Hoodoo Playing Card Magic in Rootwork and Conjure

A really good read. I bought it less for the spell work and more for the historical information and card reading instruction. And I wasn't disappointed. There's plenty of useful information provided in an enjoyably readable style. If your focus is the playing card magic, you won't be disappointed either. There are 45 pages of spells of various types, some sorted by suit and others by area of concern (work, love, etc.). Even if hoodoo isn't your "flavour" of magick, the examples can be used to inform your methods.

I bought this as a present for my partner on recommendation and it's become a fantastic reference for both of us! Prof Porterfield comprehensively walks the reader through the historical context of the cards and offers a plethora of divinatory and practical magic techniques. It may be a slim book but it packs an awful lot of punch!

Thank you so much! Amazing product.

The media could not be loaded.  Es un gran libro para entender el sistema de adivinación de cartas con la baraja francesa así como sus aplicaciones prácticas en hechizos utilizando el hoodoo.

Excellent tips and content about Magic with Playing Cards. It goes straight to the point and is very practical. I'm just not giving it 5 stars because I missed images (the author's Instagram has some great ones!) to illustrate spells with cards in practice.

Love this book! A really great source on cartomancy--using an easily accessible deck of playing cards for divination and simple spell-work. Easily organized to help one learn the meanings of each card for readings to include: the pips and court cards (people or their personalities or qualities) and lots of intriguing history and facts. The spell instructions are varied--for almost every purpose under the Sun and easy to do with items you can get right from a grocery or craft store. Southern lore, hoodoo and root-work predominate in these spells...you don't need to pay anyone to do your spells for you when you can do them yourself--this is much more ethical and teaches you how to set your own intentions! Highly recommend this book if you want to learn these secrets and a great addition to one's spiritual library!

Love this book very much
