NEW Second Edition, Published September 14, 2016 Most people have heard of Voodoo before, but if you think it only has to do with sticking pins into cursed dolls for the purpose of inflicting pain onto your enemies, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Voodoo, or 'Vodou' as it is traditionally referred to, is a modern-day take on an ancient Haitian religion developed by African-Caribbean slave workers on island plantations during the period of French Slavery. Apart from simply being just a religion, Voodoo is actually an entire way of life which is centered around an immense respect for one's elders. This respect is further expanded towards life philosophies and spirituality, and even extends into the realm of a great respect for nature. This book is designed to introduce you to the very essence of Voodoo, and then after you have prepared yourself both mentally and physically to perform Voodoo spells and rituals, you will learn how to put into practice a very basic Voodoo spell and protection charm. While you're going through this book, it's important to keep in mind that, within the practice of Voodoo, everyone is part of the same order, so with a little bit of hard work and dedication, you too can master the art of voodoo and reap the countless benefits that come with it. Grab this book now, and let's get started!
A misleading title is not a great way to get readers to buy your (quite obviously self-published) book. The title suggests a thorough and extensive study on Voodoo. What you get is a quasi-academic sounding introduction that gives a brief history of the author's take on voodoo, including a warning not to attempt voodoo magic without proper initiation, followed by several chapters detailing said spells and rituals and how to perform them. Hmm. The pages are almost half white space, the text in weirdly spaced blocks that make the book about twice the size it needs to be. Much of what I read are carbon copies of spells that are readily available and practiced within the wiccan and witch communities. The proofreading gets worse as you go through the book, as though the author tired of the task partway through. I haven't read very much at all on voodoo but I'm left with the impression that I shouldn't rely too much on what I've just read. As for the author, who are they? A bio would've helped instill a little more trust but they suspiciously prefer to remain anonymous. I would respectfully suggest this is not the book for anyone wanting a true study on voodoo, and to spend your hard-earned pennies elsewhere.
