About the author

"Draja Mickaharic was born on Wednesday, April 10, 1912 in Bosnia where his father, an Austrian, was a civil servant employed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He arrived as an immigrant to the U.S. on March 12, 1937, just at the beginning of World War II. He later became a U.S. citizen in 1940. He lived in New York City until 2002, when he moved to Philadelphia to stay with a former student. Since then, and for many decades afterward, he has resided in the United States. For years, he has practiced as a consultant on Occult and other matters, but is now retired. Now he is devoting what time he has left to writing and relaxing in front of the TV, so he no longer consults or does work for others. He writes on the topic of occultism and magic. His work features a unique, eclectic, and practical blend of Eastern European and Caribbean folk magic, with strong touches of hoodoo, obeah, and brujería."
"The occult seemed to have interested him from a relatively young age, and he’s produced copious volumes on various magical themes. Despite his Old World roots, most of his magical writings focus on New World systems, such as Caribbean, Southern, and Mexican folk magic."

Reviews

Funny how the only five-star reviews are spam.

This book was . . . not good. It's basically latent Christianity packaged up to look like witchcraft. Maybe would have been acceptable 50 years ago, but today there are much better witchcraft books available, even information on the internet that is available for free. Save yourself some time (and money) and skip this one.

I didn't vibe with the spells in this book, but to each their own.

[Catherine Dupuis · Rating 2 out of 5]

Good basic information for beginners. Too theistic for me though.

A look a range of spells and rituals from a wide range of traditions. I wish there was a bit more depth to the reasearch.

A fascinating book, it really was, but was I meant to laugh out loud at some of the material contained within? I don't think I was, but there you have it.
