I was very disappointed with this book. While the subject of Hoodoo has been made significantly more accessible for casual readers (particularly those coming from a Wiccan tradition), it has lost much in the translation. The author's previous training in Alexandrian Wicca is clear; and may be quite useful in and of itself, but make no doubt that this is from his own teaching outside of Hoodoo, and the early portions of the book have virtually nothing to do with the Hoodoo path. In addition, I felt...more
Orion Foxwood is a magickian par excellence. Well versed in Traditional Witchcraft and finally his native Conjure practice from the Appalachian Mountains. He learned conjure growing up in the South. Most of this stuff was practical magic meant to take care of practical concerns. There is no initiations or religious holidays per se and most of whom you work with are spirits. Of course they believe in God, the angels and the Saints you are free to choose to work with your own deities. Conjure magic...more

Recommends it for: those interested in spiritwalking and conservative spirituality
It was like sitting in a Pentecostal church service, listing to a minister, except I was reading the message. Maybe it's because I've been to a few too many Pentecostal and charismatic churches and masses that I can't appreciate a book like this. I'm extremely surprised at the reviewers' comments in the front of the book. Some of these critics I recognize, and almost all of those I respect. If they were making comments about real Evangelical Protestantism, I seriously doubt that their comments w...more

This is one of the most powerful books I have read in recent history on spirituality in general. While yes the book focuses on Rootwork and Conjure as the author knows them, the book is highly spiritually focused. For me even if I don't put all of the information into practice, the components of the book that made me question spirituality and what it means were well worth the investment. So to begin my review I have to say that even if you don't follow any magical spiritual path as a guide for sp...more
Quite wordy, a guided spiritual journey that never gets to any substance. Most useful to me was an architecture of the unseen aspects of reality, which gave me some useful pegs on which to hang information gleaned elsewhere on religion, mystism, magic, etc.
Apr 07, 2019Yana Gifford (Ms.Yana Reads) rated it it was ok
It's ok for a one-time informational read if you are interested in African magic, but the language and the style it is written was hard to get this book finished.
Just finished this book tonight, and I have to say that the second half of the book grabbed my attention. The second half of the book is the only reason it received 3 stars from me instead of 2. The author is a very engaging writer; however, in many passages he comes off sounding quite arrogant. I felt like he thinks he is some sort of spiritual guru that has to teach the rest of us dumb sheep the right way to do things with our own souls...NOT! Orion Foxwood also tells us the spirits that we sh...more
I was quite satisfied with this book, coming from my background of incorporating the many different systems of magic. Hoo Doo and the system of Vodou/Voodoo have been those that interested me on one level, but never wanted to practice on another. In essence, I respect them for what they are. So coming from this standpoint, this book is a nice read and can give you an interesting glimpse into that world. This book was never meant to be an instructional guide on how to do Hoo Doo, so if you're expe...more
Please note that my 1 star rating comes from the the fact I bought it thinking it would be about local APPALACHIAN thoughts, customs, practices. I was expecting more about what local appalachian folk would do and possibly why and the origins of it. Instead, it felt like I purchased a book based on the practices of hoodoo workers from the Louisiana area or thereabouts. I know very little about hoodoo/voodoo or this type of practice so I cannot judge really on the accuracy of his writing in regard...more
May 06, 2013Spider Goddess rated it it was amazing
I truly am a fan of the author. His writing style conveys a great deal of information in a very informative, yet entertaining, manner. I have read his previous books and were really taken with them. However, I feel that this book has a sense of his enthusiasm for the topic that the previous books did not seem to have present as intensely. In this book, Foxwood integrated the spiritual traditions that he has been trained in and raised with. He is able to integrate the similarities and form a cohes...more
This was interesting for me in terms of the narrative rather than the actual practices. I found books like the Haitian Vodou Handbook to have far more information on practices or as an example of a primer. So I was disappointed when I chose this book specifically on Southern root-work/Appalachian conjure hoping to find things for unaffiliated practitioners or people interested in folk magic in the context of Southern culture. It seems one has to buy more books for further information. Not quite...more
It is well written easy to read voice to the writing, sometimes too easy as my mind would regularly wonder. The first half is rather generic spiritual advice if not down right psychological advice. The end of the book gets into the specific beliefs, spirits, rituals, metaphors, and practices of conjure. I would rate this a 3 or 4 star book but one of the lines hit me hard and brought me to a mildly life changing existential experience so it gets some bonus points for that.

This was an interesting look at a lot of old Appalachian customs. It's well written, accessable and not corny. I crusied through it and read the bits that jumped out at me. Overall, good stuff and I'd revisit it.

This book is great! I recommend it to everyone interested in Conjure, Root-work, Shamanism, Herbology... well just to everyone! Orion Foxwood is amazing! Check out all of his books & go to one (or more) of his workshops. By Rowena Whaling, Author

. A wonderfully written book. Reminded me how to reconnect to my spirit. Very detailed and is not fear based. Gives honor to the ancestors and the culture.
