arts.

Banishing, Binding, Fertility, Luck, Protection, Money, and more.

and Psalms, and much, much more, including:

The life and work of the legendary “Pope of Voodoo,” Marie Laveau―a free woman of color who practically ruled New Orleans in the mid-1800s
Marie Laveau may be the most influential American practitioner of the magical arts; certainly, she is among the most famous. She is the subject of songs, films, and legends and the star of New Orleans ghost tours. Her grave in New Orleans ranks among the most popular spiritual pilgrimages in the US. Devotees venerate votive images of Laveau, who proclaimed herself the “Pope of Voodoo.” She is the subject of respected historical biographies and the inspiration for novels by Francine Prose and Jewell Parker Rhodes. She even appears in Marvel Comics and on the television show American Horror Story: Coven, where she was portrayed by Angela Bassett.
Author Denise Alvarado explores Marie Laveau’s life and work―the fascinating history and mystery. This book gives an overview of New Orleans Voodoo, its origins, history, and practices. It contains spells, prayers, rituals, recipes, and instructions for constructing New Orleans voodoo-style altars and crafting a voodoo amulet known as a gris-gris.
There are mysteries in every culture, and I was born into one with
true magick at its core. Tracking the Grunch on the levees, holding
seances on the bayous, and catching snakes in the swamps-this is
what my childhood looked like. With every adventure came more
wonder, and with every experience, more mysteries were revealed.
This, for me, was growing up Creole in New Orleans. Created for
members of my Conjure Club, the Anthology of Conjure Volume 1
contains a collection of articles, eBooks, and downloads I have
written over the years about the folk traditions of my culture of
origin.

Trample on the dust of the Dead lightly...This sentiment, held by
old-time Hoodoos and traditional Rootworkers, is a subtle reminder
of the importance of observing certain behaviors while in a
graveyard. Knock before entering. Be careful where you walk. Don't
step on graves or sit on tombstones. Always ask before taking
anything-even stones, flowers, sticks and leaves. Never leave
trash, always greet the gatekeeper and always come prepared with a
pocket full of pennies, silver dimes and a bottle of rum or
whiskey. The important thing to remember is that you never just
walk in and take something. You must always treat the spirits with
respect; both the spirits of the deceased, as well as the guardians
of the cemeteries and the psychopomps. Workin' in da Boneyard is a
primer for conjurers seeking a tangible connection to their past,
their ancestors and the Spirit World by working with graveyards and
graveyard dirt. From practical issues of safety, choosing a
cemetery, locating ancestral graves, reading gravestone signs and
symbols, avoiding haints and hauntings, to gathering graveyard dirt
and making goofer dust, Workin' in da Boneyard has the information
needed for working effective graveyard conjure, as well as words of
caution for the ill-prepared.
