It's NOLA Voodoo Hoodoo ya'll!!!
I am a huge fan of Ms. Alvarado's work. And I must say, this one does not disappoint!! This book is not about voodoo or plain hoodoo. It is about New Orleans Voodoo Hoodoo, which a conglomeration of many things. It's got all the flair and flavor in which one would expect from New Orleans!This book does give basic information on what one should know about New Orleans hoodoo. She clearly states in the introduction "This book was written for the individual practitioner, and is not meant as an instructional guide for initiation into any of the religions with their roots in the African Diaspora. It is meant to provide a basic understanding of the nature and properties of the ingredients and practices of New Orleans Voodoo and hoodoo as I understand and interpret them." See, right away she lets you know that this is the information as SHE knows it.With this book, you are given the basic knowledge to perform rituals and spells form NOLA Voodoo Hoodoo. It is not a...

Learn the Language of New Orleans Magico-Religious Practices
The Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook is a necessity! Denise Alvarado's bringing together both the history of New Orleans's magico-religious traditions and their associated practices puts the 'root' back in 'rootwork'. From the African Islamic talismanic parallels found in the region to some of the history behind Mardi Gras dances and celebrations, you'd be silly not to purchase this groundbreaking work of scholarship and craft. Innumerable recipes, techniques, and entities await the reader in this volume that does more than raise the bar for magickal publishing - it practically flies away with it.Ms. Alvarado has painstakingly included a thorough combination of symbols, legends, prayers, and correspondences for deities in Voodoo as well as Catholic Saints oft-petitioned by Voodoo practitioners. The wealth of spells alone ought to last someone a lifetime, but Ms. Alvarado is a teacher in the truest sense of the word - she reminds her audience that there are rules and guidelines for...

Fantastic
I have the original Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook but heard this one had additional info. And it does! More info on the origins of voodoo, spells, baths, oils, etc. If you need to add a book on voodoo to your collection, I highly recommend this one! You will not need any other book on voodoo!The intro by Doc Snake is incredable. The additional spells and more info on herbs, oils and baths is fantastic. There are also quick reference charts on the Saints and also info on Saints. This is something I've always looked for and love this condensed version.And if you want more from Denise, get her magazine and other books. She is very knowledgeable on voodoo and is a practioner herself so she knows what she is talking about!I am now a big fan of Denise's and plan on also purchasing the Kindle version of the Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook so its with me all the time.

Product Description

A guide to the practices, tools, and rituals of New Orleans Voodoo as well as the many cultural influences at its origins

• Includes recipes for magical oils, instructions for candle workings, and directions to create gris-gris bags and Voodoo dolls to attract love, money, justice, and healing and for retribution

• Explores the major figures of New Orleans Voodoo, including Marie Laveau and Dr. John

• Exposes the diverse ethnic influences at the core of Voodoo, from the African Congo to Catholic immigrants from Italy, France, and Ireland

One of America’s great native-born spiritual traditions, New Orleans Voodoo is a religion as complex, free-form, and beautiful as the jazz that permeates this steamy city of sin and salvation. From the French Quarter to the Algiers neighborhood, its famed vaulted cemeteries to its infamous Mardi Gras celebrations, New Orleans cannot escape its rich Voodoo tradition, which draws from a multitude of ethnic sources, including Africa, Latin America, Sicily, Ireland, France, and Native America.

In The New Orleans Voodoo Handbook, initiated Vodou priest Kenaz Filan covers the practices, tools, and rituals of this system of worship as well as the many facets of its origins. Exploring the major figures of New Orleans Voodoo, such as Marie Laveau and Dr. John, as well as Creole cuisine and the wealth of musical inspiration surrounding the Mississippi Delta, Filan examines firsthand documents and historical records to uncover the truth behind many of the city’s legends and to explore the oft-discussed but little-understood practices of the root doctors, Voodoo queens, and spiritual figures of the Crescent City. Including recipes for magical oils, instructions for candle workings, methods of divination, and even directions to create gris-gris bags, mojo hands, and Voodoo dolls, Filan reveals how to call on the saints and spirits of Voodoo for love, money, retribution, justice, and healing. Top to learn more

Not Quite a Handbook, but a primer for sure.
With the "New Orleans Voodoo Handbook" Kenaz Filan gives readers a guide not only to Voodoo as it is practiced in the city, but also the culture and history that has shaped it. Someone looking for a simple cookbook of spells and formulas will be sorely disappointed. The author being an initiate of Haitian Voudon knows that the way the religion is truly taught is through its stories, and this book has plenty of them. Part 1 of the book uses the first six chapters to cover the colorful history of Louisiana, and New Orleans. Beginning with La Salles Expedition, and covering topics such as the beginning of the industrial revolution, Jim Crow laws, and Hurricane Katrina along the way. This section also details the works of writers that have contributed to the study and preservation of local Voodoo lore, like Zora Neal Hurston with her seminal work " Of Mules and Men", and Robert Tallant author of "Voodoo in New Orleans", and the novelization of Marie Laveau's life, "Voodoo Queen".

lives up to its title
As a member of the Vodou community of New Orleans, I was quite pleased with Kenaz's book. As he states in his introduction, to understand New Orleans voodoo, you must understand New Orleans. He mentions food, jazz, drink, and architecture to show how voodoo and those who practice it, has influenced almost every aspect of New Orleans' culture. One of the most important aspects of Kenaz's book is where he explains how New Orleans voodoo is different than the vodou practiced in Haiti, but that it is just as viable a religion. How Vodou has been able to survive and even grow is its ability to adapt to new cultures and absorb aspects of other religions. For those who are upset with the book-remember its title: New Orleans Voodoo.

An exploration of another world
Davis guides us through a fantastic world in this superb account of his investigation into Haitian "secret societies." Although outlandish at first glance, Haitian social justice and how it's administered is revealed in its deep cultural framework. The terms "voodoo" and "zombie," so ignorantly applied in our culture over the years, are clarified by this serious scholar. Davis offers much more than simply a redefinition of what media has distorted. He examines the origins and use of various toxins that are applied to put a living person in a death-like trance. This seemingly "evil" practice has deep and positive social roots. It's the social milieu that ultimately gives this book its real value. As Davis pursues botanical sources used in rendering people comatose, he is caught up in an investigation of why the drugs are used on particular individuals.Davis' quest began with a commission to investigate anesthetic drugs from plants and animals. His mentor, Richard Schultes,...

A serious, scientific look at zombies
Written by an ethnobotanist (a combination of a botanist and an anthropologist), this book focuses on Haiti, the secret societies within Haiti, and of course, the psychological and scientific means of making a zombie. No, Wade Davis doesn't come out and say, to make a zombie, do this, this, and this. Instead, he uses reason and logic to track down the actual processes, both social and psychological, that lead to the Haitian people's tendency to believe in them. As it's written by a scientist, the focus on Haiti's past and culture should be more expected than a flat out 'Indiana Jones goes to the tropics'. For those who've seen the movie: no, he doesn't get zombie poison blown in his face. No, he doesn't get buried alive. No, he doesn't get harassed by a corrupt police chief who cuts off peoples' heads. It's pretty down to earth. For those really interested in Haitian culture and, to some extent, voodoo, this is a perfect book to read. If you want adventure, rent the...

Product Description

In April 1982, ethnobotanist Wade Davis arrived in Haiti to investigate two documented cases of zombis -- people who had reappeared in Haitian society years after they had been officially declared dead and had been buried. Drawn into a netherworld of rituals and celebrations, Davis penetrated the vodoun mystique deeply enough to place zombification in its proper context within vodoun culture. In the course of his investigation, Davis came to realize that the story of vodoun is the history of Haiti -- from the African origins of its people to the successful Haitian independence movement, down to the present day, where vodoun culture is, in effect, the government of Haiti's countryside.

The Serpent and the Rainbow combines anthropological investigation with a remarkable personal adventure to illuminate and finally explain a phenomenon that has long fascinated Americans. Top to learn more

Rich and informative
I bought this book years ago and put it down after I realized it was nothing like the movie. Man, I'm glad I wizened up. The book saturates you in a country and culture where nothing is as it seems. Secret societies, Vodoun (as Davis refers to it in the book) and yes, Zombies are throughout it's pages. But what I thought was really interesting is when Davis talks about the history of Haiti. I could not get enough. Not only does he paint an amazing portrait of a remarkable people, but he masterfully takes you step by step on how the brutal origins of the country reflects it's modern day society and religion.When he does talk about the Zombie poison, Davis makes it easy to understand how without giving specifics but revealing the major components. Beginning with a sound hypothesis when starting on his adventure and unraveling the mystery scientifically as the book progresses. He loves is terminology, but never does it frustrate the reader. Also, where he excels again is when he uses...

The third and least of Norton's 'Solar Queen' SF novels
"Voodoo Planet" (1959) follows "Sargasso of Space" (1955) and its sequel "Plague Ship" (1956), and precedes "Postmarked: the Stars" (1969) in the series of `Solar Queen' space adventure novels, starring Dane Thorson, a lanky young apprentice-Cargo Master.After ten years of schooling, Dane had been assigned via a computer analysis of his psychological profile, to a battered tramp of a Free Trader. To say that the 'Solar Queen' "lacked a great many refinements and luxurious fittings which the Company ships boasted" was an understatement. But she was a tightly-run ship and what she lacked in refinement, she made up for in adventure. Dane soon settles in under Cargo Master Van Rycke and learns "to his dismay what large gaps unfortunately existed in his training.""Voodoo Planet" weighs in as the slightest of the four original `Solar Queen' novels at 159 pages, and features only Dane, Captain Jellico, and ship's medic, Tau out of the original crew. While the `Queen...

Classic Golden Age sci-fi story
Norton keeps the suspense taut in this story about magic on a planet that resembles Africa and that makes its wealth from big game hunting.The story is full of Norton's classic elements of a clear and meticulous sense of geography, flora, and fauna; a culture built on existing cultures (in this case, African); and clear story-telling.The title is somewhat misleading as the story doesn't have the elements of Haitian voodoo that one might expect--it seems to have used the term for general psychological magic.Andre Norton fans will be satisfied and those new to her story-telling might find this an engaging start.

This is probably one of the better overviews of Voodoo
This was probably my first book on Voodoo that I purchased, and it still has to be one of my reference guides to the religious beliefs. While other books dwell on magic, curses, and the curio folk magic of Hoodoo, this book gives you a collection of beautifully drawn Veves, excellent black and white photos, and a whole collection of traditional Voodoo prayers and chants. Their is a section on classifying the various Lwas, or Loas, from the various Voodoo Mysteries, such as the Radas, Congos, Petros, Ibu, Nago, and the Dantor mysteries. This book is not for the beginners and it does not candy coat Voodoo, it gives you a ruff down of what Voodoo's practices, rites, passages, magic, and sacrifices are all about. This book is an overview of the religion, as it is impossible for a Mystery of such vast Knowledge, beauty and Wisdom to be justly explained in 217 or so pages. It is not meant for all, but for those who truly respects and want to honor the Lwas, this is a good start...

Useful & Informative
While most books on voodoo major on 'curses' 'voodoo dolls' spells and other Hollywood-prescribed stereotypes, this book is a very informative and helpful study of roots practices and one of only a handful I would really recommend on voodoo - the others being Voodoo Visions, Divine Horsemen (Maya Deren), Vodou Shaman (Ross Heaven) and Mama Lola (Karen Brown). In this book we have an intelligent yet very readable overview of a normally secretive tradition and one that the world needs to hear more about. Really worth buying.

Product Description

Secrets of Voodoo traces the development of this complex religion (in Haiti and the Americas) from its sources in the brilliant civilizations of ancient Africa. This book presents a straightforward account of the gods or loas and their function, the symbols and signs, rituals, the ceremonial calendar of Voodoo, and the procedures for performing magical rites are given.

“Voodoo,” derived from words meaning “introspection” and “mystery,” is a system of belief about the formation of the world and human destiny with clear correspondences in other world religions. Rigaud makes these connections and discloses the esoteric meaning underlying Voodoo’s outward manifestations, which are often misinterpreted. Translated from the French by Robert B. Cross. Drawings and photographs by Odette Mennesson-Rigaud.

Milo Rigaud was born in Port au Prince, Haiti, in 1903, where he spent the greater part of his life studying the Voodoo tradition. In Haiti he studied law, and in France ethnology, psychology, and theology. The involvement of Voodoo in the political struggle of Haitian blacks for independence was one of his main concerns.
