Reviews" Old Style Conjure is written in Starr Casas' uniquely heartfelt and down-home conversational style that reads like you're getting advice from your best friend. With her lifetime of Conjure-work, Starr guides you through the roots, recipes, and rites of this powerful practice that is the legacy of those first Africans to come over on the slave ships--ancestors that Conjure-workers uplift and honor for both their sacrifice and their magic. With these tools, you will learn the ways of Southern magic that have been used by both black and white practitioners for centuries--steeped in African wisdom, the spirits of the natural world, and the strength of the Bible--itself a most powerful spell book in the hands of the true Southern Conjurer.

Great For Beginners And A Reference For More Experienced Practitioners
Mama Starr is the real deal- She was raised on conjure, and practices what she preaches. There are plenty of interviews with her on YouTube, where she shares her knowledge if you need any proof. One important point that Mama Starr makes several times, is that to work real Hoodoo you'll be using one of the most magical books ever- The Bible- That's right, the Bible. You don't have to be a Christian to use the prayers and spells in the Bible. Hoodoo has nothing to do with demons or the devil- It's the power of Almighty God that empowers your justified workings.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great beginner book of Sorcery
I really like this book and it’s very informative, especially when it comes to divining the future or past through the bones of possums and chickens. However it could have been better if it had illustrations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
