Dispel the Misconceptions & Discover the Truth About Afro-Caribbean Magic

Diamantino Fernandes Trindade, one of the most renowned spiritualist authors in Brazil, and Sebastien de la Croix, an initiated Houngan (Vodou priest), lift the shroud of mystery surrounding Haitian Vodou and North American Voodoo.

Vodou, Voodoo, and Hoodoo provides a variety of simple spells that require no initiation and support many aspects of contemporary life.
