Reviews

Sallie Ann Glassman Mambo, author of Vodou Visions, owner of The Island of Salvation Botanica in New Orleans, Louisiana. A respectful, clear, and much-needed book that honors the creativity and resilience of African American traditions. McQuillar's discussions of the meaning of practices and ingredients underline the symbols, legacies, and worldviews encoded within the spells, and help people to empower themselves with understanding.

Ray T. Malbrough author of Charms, Spells & Formulas and The Magical Power of the Saints This book will quickly become a guide and reference source for all people who wish to learn this system of folk magick. Highly recommended and a must-read.
