Dispel the Misconceptions & Discover the Truth About Afro-Caribbean Magic

Diamantino Fernandes Trindade, one of the most renowned spiritualist authors in Brazil, and Sebastien de la Croix, an initiated Houngan (Vodou priest), lift the shroud of mystery surrounding Haitian Vodou and North American Voodoo. Trindade and de la Croix introduce you to these distinct spiritualities and how they are connected to Hoodoo, an African American tradition that incorporates Voodoo, Indigenous traditions, spiritism, and European folklore.

Vodou, Voodoo, and Hoodoo provides a variety of simple spells that require no initiation and support many aspects of contemporary life. You'll also explore the life of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau, a famous practitioner who was ahead of her time. Featuring deities, recipes, prayers, and more, this book gives you a genuine look at Afro-Caribbean magic.
