Sticks Stones Roots & Bones

Hoodoo is a working tradition of the African diaspora in the American South, built from West and Central African practice and taking in Native American herbalism and Judeo-Christian material as it went. Stephanie Rose Bird traces it back to those roots and then gets on with the practice.

The title is the shopping list. Sticks, stones, roots and bones are what goes in a mojo bag, and the book covers what each is for and how the working is put together: blessing a home, drawing money, protection, love.

Who It Is For

Someone who wants the history and the practice in the same book rather than one without the other. It is written for a beginner and it does not talk down.
