Hoodoo Herb and Root Magic: A Materia Magica of African-American Conjure
Description
A richly researched guide to the herbs, roots, plants, and natural curios traditionally used in African-American hoodoo and conjure, this book explores their folklore, spiritual associations, and practical applications. Drawing on oral traditions, historical sources, and cultural context, it explains how individual ingredients have been employed in rituals, charms, protections, healing practices, and other forms of folk magic. More than a reference manual, it preserves an important body of African-American spiritual knowledge while offering readers an accessible introduction to the beliefs and symbolism behind the materia magica of hoodoo. Informative, detailed, and deeply respectful of its subject, the work is an essential resource for students of African-American folklore, magical traditions, and herbal practice.
