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.

This book describes two subjective methods of evaluating what your subconscious actually feels about the words you use in everyday communications, and in spiritual or intellectual activities. The first method demonstrated measures the spacing of your palms in a 'slow clapping' motion, which follows in response to a question. This technique has been used in the pranic healing school of the Philippines to test the state of energy body components, but can equally well be used to gain a response to mental questions in a form of divination. The second method uses an unusual and ancient form of dowsing, once employed for a variety of purposes in Sardinia. Dowsing seems to date back millenia, to when ancient monuments were sited almost inevitably, above underground water sources. This method counts the number of rotations of a Y-shaped plastic tube (in substitution for the traditional forked hazel twig) you are able to make, in response to questions of the type: 'What is the energy of this (place, word, phrase, name)?' - your subconscious prevents further rotations occuring beyond the number which corresponds to its energy relative to other words. The book contains an assessment of a large number of commonly used words, phrases, names, and emotions, and evaluates also the energy scores for numbers in common use. Many of these evaluations were carried out by the author, and hence inevitably, are subjective, though the method has been used successfully by others. For example, trials with Swedish subjects are mentioned, that show persons with a modicum of interest and competence in 'energy fields' are capable of duplicating these results if they are able to extend their auras. What is the connection with the aura? The author's hypothesis is that both methods are measuring the extension of the aura in response to a question held in mind. The significance of the book then, is that it allows people to assess their reaction to the english language, to persons in the media, and to review excerpts from text files to assess the likely impact they will have on the reader.

PRACTICED FOR CENTURIES BY DEVOTED CHRISTIANS, POW WOWS HAS BECOME A HIDDEN RELIGION WITHIN A RELIGION DRIVEN UNDERGROUND BY NEEDLESS PERSECUTION. Over 200 Remedies Handed Down From Generation To Generation. For centuries, people have been using the Holy Scripture to induce magical principles. Some of this has come down to us in the magical practices called Pow-Wows. The majority of these ancient techniques have been handed down from generation to generation mostly by word of mouth. Many have no idea that other practitioners of the ancient art even exist. The rise of evangelical Christianity has forced many Pow-Wow adepts to go underground, or even give up practicing altogether. For a long time churches have taught that all magic is inherently evil and that anyone who practices it is to be condemned and possibly even put to death. This has little actually to do with a few verses in the Bible that speak against witches and diviners, and more to do with the churches power base that has held control over the people for centuries. Many so-called "good Christians" would be horrified to know that many common Christian rituals would be considered magic by their overly broad definitions. In fact, the Bible has been used for magical purposes for centuries by people who would never consider themselves as practitioners of magic. Others, however, have fully realized that Pow-Wow fits within the constraints of "sorcery" and have kept the truth to themselves, only allowing immediate family to learn the age-old practice. Pow-Wow first came to the United States when German settlers began arriving in the late 17th century, settling in Pennsylvania. Two distinct groups of German immigrants came to Pennsylvania. The Fancy Germans, or Lutherans, and the Plain or Pietist Germans. The Pietist Germans included members of the Mennonite, Amish, Dunker, and Brethren denominations. Native Americans were present, at least initially, when the Germans arrived and the term Pow-Wow was possibly derived from the early settlers' observations of Indian Pow-Wows. The word may also be a derivative of the word "power" or may come from the Native American Pow-Wow definition meaning "he who dreams." Pow-Wowing includes some charms and incantations dating from the Middle Ages plus elements borrowed from the Jewish Qabala and Christian Bible. Pow-wowing generally focuses on healing minor health problems, the protection of livestock, success in love, and the casting or removing of hexes. For over 200 years, Pow-Wowers have considered themselves to be staunch Christians endowed with supernatural powers to both heal and harm. Using Pow-Wow can be simple or highly complicated and involves the recital of benedictions, Psalms and selected Biblical verses for magical purposes according to Jewish and Christian magical traditions. PUT THE POW WOWS INTO USE FOR YOURSELF, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Here are over 200 remedies. Some very practical to this day. Others a bit fanciful for the era we live in, but certainly of importance as an historical reference as is this entire work. Partial Pow-Wow Index: A certain remedy to stop bleeding; A remedy against slander; A very good remedy for palpitation of the heart; A precaution against injuries; To make a wand for searching for iron or water; A way to obtain things desired; To destroy warts; To gain God's Favor; and many, many more

Charles Godfrey Leland (August 15, 1824 - March 20, 1903) was an American humorist and folklorist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was educated at Princeton University and in Europe. Leland worked in journalism, traveled extensively, and became interested in folklore and folk linguistics, publishing books and articles on American and European languages and folk traditions. By the end of his life shortly after the turn of the century, Leland had worked in a wide variety of trades, achieved recognition as the author of the comic Hans Breitmann's Ballads, fought in two conflicts, and had written what was to become a primary source text for Neopaganism half a century later, Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches.

Gypsy Wisdom is a wonderful blend of factual information on gypsy lore and autobiographical memories of a true Romany. From this book you can learn the principles of tarot reading, recipes for potions and spells, healing remedies, meditation techniques and even how to make gypsy soap. The author Gypsy Raven (Cristina) reflects on her teenage years, when she was instructed in the arts of fortune telling by her grandmother Antolina and her grandmother's friend Estrella. These anecdotes lift the book from what could have be a basic instruction manual to an escape into the Romany world. You travel through the instruction process with 14-year old Cristina, learning as she learns, and gaining the wisdom of the older gypsies with the same caveats and care. Gypsy Wisdom extols the power of positive thought, self-belief and a holistic spiritualism, as well as expelling some of the myths around gypsies, such as the gypsy curse.
