African American Magick
Description
A Modern Grimoire for the Natural Home (Four Seasons of Rituals, Recipes, Hoodoo & Herbs)
An inspired herbal guide to natural living with ancient techniques, remedies, and rituals from around the world centered on the rhythms of the seasons.
The changing of the seasons is magickal, green leaves transforming into browns and golds, snow melting to show fresh buds. We all recognize these telltale signs, but few of us are aware of the powerful impact each season has on our spiritual lives. Whether sunny, snowy, windy, rainy, cold, or humid, the weather has a dramatic effect on our being wherever we may live.
The author, Stephanie Rose Bird, is deeply committed to keeping alive the spiritual wisdom of her indigenous African ancestors. In African American Magick, she examines the magickal ability of the seasons to enhance our lives by unearthing ancient techniques, rituals, and methods from around the world that reflect each season’s inherent energies to supplement body, mind, and soul.
Why We Carry It
Stephanie Rose Bird organizes the whole grimoire around the turning year, so the recipes and rituals arrive when the season for them does. Herbs, hoodoo and household practice together.
