Legends of Incense, Herb, & Oil Magic | Esoteric Students’ Handbook of Legendary Formulas & Facts

Description From 1936, when it burst on the scene, until 2006, when it went out of print. Legends of Incense, Herb, & Oil Magic | Esoteric Students’ Handbook of Legendary Formulas & Facts was an occult shop classic. The first non-academic book that taught African American hoodoo folk magic. Advertised in Black-owned newspapers nationwide, it became many a rootworker’s introduction to the convenience of mail-order spiritual supplies. The author, whose name was certainly not “Lewis de Claremont” took the secret of his identity to the grave, but the formulas he introduced and his descriptions of down-home tricks with herbs, candles, incense, powders, baths, and talismans are recognized as the foundation of modern hoodoo. Legends of Incense, Herb, & Oil Magic is filled with curious lore and useful tips. This beautifully illustrated book belongs in every conjure worker’s library. Lucky Mojo ~ 96 pages, Trade Paperback
