Hoodoo Herbal: Folk Recipes for Conjure & Spellwork...
Description
In Hoodoo Herbal, Starr Casas shares a lifetime of experience and family secrets in her usual plain-spoken, direct, and friendly style. Mama Starr makes Hoodoo plant magic accessible to all. For example, snake plants (Dracaena trifasciata), common houseplants that are readily available at garden stores and supermarkets, possess a long reputation for successfully keeping lying tongues from disrupting your home. As their leaves resemble a double-edged sword, they are believed able to cut through malicious works (spells) that may have been sent against you. They are valued for their anti-gossip properties. The book features information about a wide variety of plants and how to use them, as well as practical tips regarding planting seeds, cutting, transplanting, and caring for plants so that they will care for you, too. Starr advises that as the plants thrive and grow, the works for which they are used will grow stronger, too, as will you.
Why We Carry It
Starr Casas has a lifetime in this and writes plainly. The plants are the ones you can get at a garden center, and she explains what each one has traditionally been kept in the house to do.
Who It Is For
Conjure workers, and anyone who wants plant magic rooted in a living American tradition rather than a reconstructed one.
