Publisher's summary

Hoodoo is an eclectic blend of African traditions, Native American herbalism, Judeo-Christian ritual, and magical healing.

Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones is the 2005 Coalition of Visionary Resources (COVR) Winner for Best General Interest Book! Masterfully read by L.

Critic reviews

"...[I]n Sticks, Stones, Roots and Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo and Conjuring With Herbs, Stephanie Rose Bird, the talented author, healer, and artist who inherited her family's way with roots and spirits offers a deep, sumptuous new guide to hoodoo's true origins, philosophy, ethics, tools, and techniques. Worth reading if just to learn more about Afro-Atlantic culture." (Village Voice)

"With humor and a positive outlook, Bird does a convincing job of inspiring the reader to rediscover life's magic through a connection with the natural world. In addition to providing plenty of useful and easy-to-follow recipes for making a 'mojo,' or trick bag, Bird shares her boundless enthusiasm and respect for the power of Hoodoo. Her book...shares a rich piece of American history that often goes untold." (Herb Quarterly)

Things that make you go hummm!!!

This book truly was a gem! Listening to it brought back so many memories of my Big Moma and long lost traditions. Miss Cooper's voice is soothing yet commanding. I thoroughly enjoyed each chapter.

really great introduction to Hoodoo!

This book by Stephanie Rose Bird is a great beginner guide to all things hoodoo, spellcasting, and conjuring. I was glad to see the PDF includes the recipes. L. Malaika is a great narrator and sounds very knowledgeable. I finished this book in one sitting!
