I could sit at the foot of this women and listen to her for hours. You know how we have all met that special, "magickal", person who can blend history, hoodoo, magick,and the realization of dreams into a story that feels so at home that you can live it through their eyes. Reading Stephanie's books takes me there. I have actually met Stephanie and attended a ritual she gave and she brings hoodoo home and ignites the connection inside you. She relays the information in such a way that you naturally connect to it. I appreciate the way she makes the history and relevancy of hooodoo come alive for me! She is a beautiful, intelligent woman who knows what she can disperse in knowledge, responsibly, to a mass population. Unless you are training in the hoodoo arts there is no reason for her to go into depths that the unpracticed layman cannot handle, but we all are divine and have intuitions that can help us to manifest a better world for ourselves and others and Stephanie shares enough knowledge for even the layman to feel comfortable and responsible doing this.
I salute the intelligent way she handles dispensing mass media information about her spirituality path.
I always feel Yemaya and Oya walking with Stephanie and she is a true Blessing to those who connect with them as well.
Thank you, Stephanie, for another wonderful experience and I can't wait to receive your next book.

After reading the reviews on this book, both negative and positive I decided to head out to Barnes and Noble and take a look myself. I spent three hours reading through this book at the cafe before finally giving up from frustration. I can see what other reviewers mean when they say this book is informative and full of information, but I approached the book looking for hoodoo specific knowledge and found little to none. I do agree with the reviewer who wrote in saying that Hyatts and Yronwodes works are far better when one is looking for hoodoo, where this book falls short, however if you are looking for a collection of information, not hoodoo specific, then this is probably a good book for you, unfortuenantly I didnt find it necessary to buy.
