The author's a little repetitive and it's a much dryer academic read than I'm used to it, but it's very educational. It's fascinating to see the similarities between Hoodoo and Lucumi.

I'm probably finished and won't read any more of this book. I've learned enough to understand Hoodoo is its own religious practice; not just a form of folk magic. And as a non-initiate (especially a white non-initiate) it's not appropriate for me to practice Hoodoo. I may pick it up again in the future to further my education, but I have so many other books that are more applicable to my religious studies.

Still fascinating to see the parallels with Lucumí. I was especially intrigued about the similarities of the divination items used by the Hoodoo priest and the items a Lucumí priest receives upon initiation.
