This book is simply a little tract on voodoo beliefs and common terms. No real applicable knowledge of ritual or religion is handed to the reader, but if you have heard a voodoo term and have no idea what it is, this would be a handy book to have. There are lists of the supposed power of certain stones, animal remains, and sundry dubious substances. While it does serve as a light-read and cursory probe into the subject, it is by no means the "Voodoo Handbook of Cult Secrets" the title would have you believe.

There are no secrets revealed here, so please do not let the title get you. Simply it is a very thin booklet of translations of words used in Voodoo, as well as the names of the Lwas, the Might Spirits of Voodoo. If you want to learn some definitions then this is some what worth the $4.95, but if you want a book on Voodoo Secrets, Religion and Magic, check out The Voodoo Grimoire, by El Negro Jose and Secrets Of Voodoo by Milo Rigaud. Both currently in stock at Amazon.com

I agree with the person who wrote before me, if you want an in depth boos about Voodoo, get Secrets Of Voodoo by Milo Rigaud, although the book is so in depth and hard to read you probably need a mentor/teacher to explain a lot of it or you will be lost (unless you already practice voodoo or have already studied a bit).

I'm very dessapointed about this book,only is like a voodoo dictionary, but does not show any ritual or spell, and the illustrations of the veves are not the authentics, Is sad that the author have written a so bad book, because the book of "Secrets of Magical Seals: A Modern Grimoire of Amulets, Charms, Symbols and Talismans" is very good, but this one NOT.
