GYPSY WITCH PRESENTS: -- THAT HOODOO THAT YOU DO SO WELL. . . Catchy Words To A Song?. . . Folklore? . . . Mumbo Jumbo? . . . Superstition?. . . Or A Belief System So Strong And Powerful Millions Of Believers Still Practice It All Over The World? TROPICAL SPELLS, ALSO KNOWN AS HOODOO & VOODOO, IS A BLEND OF CARIBBEAN MAGICK SO COMMANDING THAT IT HAS BEEN PASSED ON THROUGH FAMILIES AND SOCIAL CONTACTS FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS DESPITE WIDE SPREAD ATTEMPTS TO WIPE IT OUT. Generally thought of among educated people as inherently evil or nothing more than a system of superstitious beliefs, in reality tapping into the forces behind Caribbean Magick allows people access to supernatural energies to improve their daily lives by gaining power in many areas of life, including luck, money, love, divination, health, employment and sometimes when necessary revenge. NOT EVIL OR OF THE DEVIL Those who have unsuccessfully tried to eradicate this religion have long accused its adherents of being devil worshipers knowing fully well that this is a BIG LIE The TRUTH is that when African slaves were brought to America they were stripped of their religious beliefs and family connects. The beliefs and customs brought to America by African slaves mingled with the belief customs and botanical knowledge of Native Americans and with the Christian, Jewish and pagan folklore of European immigrants. In fact, not only is God's providence a factor in such practices (which we have collective placed under the category of Caribbean Magick to simplify matters), but God is, Himself, the archetypal hoodoo doctor. Obvious parallels between Moses and magick occur in the Biblical accounts of his confrontation with Pharaoh in which he performed miracles such as turning his staff into a snake. His greatest feat of conjure was using his powers to help free the Hebrews from slavery. Not surprising, as in many other folk religious, magical, and medical practices, extensive use is made of herbs, minerals, parts of animals' bodies, and an individual's possessions. Contact with ancestors or other spirits of the dead is an important practice within the conjure tradition, and the recitation of Psalms from the Bible is also considered magically effective in Caribbean Magick. DOZENS AND DOZENS OF SPELLS, SIMPLE RITUALS AND A BONUS RARE MANUSCRIPT Tapping into his vast reservoir of forbidden and arcane knowledge, editor Dragonstar has compiled a modern adaptation of the many popular spells that go to makeup the backbone of Caribbean Magick.
