Product Description

* Bring Back A Lost Lover *Keep Enemies at Bay * Attract Fame and Fortune * See Into the Future * Avert the Evil Eye * Voodoo, in its many guises, has millions of adherents, yet it remains shrouded in secrecy and sometimes fear. With the Voodoo Spellbook, Dr. Snake - a renowned practioner of Hoodoo -guides the reader safely through this shadowy world. Voodoo does not shy away from human passions, but treats them honestly and with respect. Voodoo teaches the acolyte how to fullfil desires, mete out revenge, and gain personal power. With Dr. Snake's simple spells, the reader will learn how to gain love and sex, money and power, and health and well-being. And packaged with each kit is a Lucky Mojo Doll, which can be used as a Voodoo doll or as a mojo charm.

From the Author

Greetings!

I'm Dr Snake, a conjure man living on the eastside of paradise, in a rainbow land where a hoodoo sun shines and a mojorain falls.

My Spellbook - which you may be considering ordering - is a book of folk magic, or "hoodoo" as it is called in the American South. It also draws on magical elements from Voodoo, Santeria, and Macumba, all of which have their roots in Africa.

The book gets you started in casting spells that will help you gain money and prosperity, love and sex, and health and well-being. You will also be empowered to bring back a lost lover, repel enemies and avert the evil eye. I give clear instruction on how to use roots, potions, and herbal baths; how to construct Voodoo dolls and lucky mojo talismans; and how to set up a simple altar.

But it isn't just a cookbook in hoodoo sorcery. It's a book full of anecdotes concerning the adventures I had with my mentor, Earl Marlowe, a hoodooist and blues singer, who instructed me in the art of conjure.

Anyway, If you do decide to order my Spellbook I truly hope you will not only enjoy it, but will recognise that reality is not as it seems and that, in a certain sense, at least, anything is possible.

May Love, Peace & Happiness be yours...

Doktor Snake. The Name with No Man.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Voodoo / Hoodoo Introduction & Application, April 18, 2003

By	Graham Douglas Lincoln "The Truth is Absolute... (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

This is a fascinating introduction to Voodoo / Hoodoo, with practical application of various techniques--spells, curses, folk magick--for anyone interested in the subject.

This book provides a very subtle, yet exciting introduction to Southern style Voodoo / Hoodoo (not the Religion of "Voodou").

I read this book in one sitting, and could not put it down. This small coffee-table style book is packed with short spells and stories that explain the subject in a very concise and entertaining manner. At-first, it seems like the book & voodoo doll is a quaint gift set, but the feel of the book and the writings within are inspiring and conducive to comprehending a general overview of Southern Voodoo / Hoodoo.

New Orleans style Voodoo is the foundation of the book and it contains a brief introduction to many aspects of Voodoo / Hoodoo.

Aside from the great Spells, I particularly enjoyed the section about reading Playing Cards as Tarot cards. Historically, "playing cards" derived from Tarot cards, so this is quite practical. The meanings of each card, in a typical card deck are given, listing the correspondences, per each suit.

If you enjoy the section about playing cards as much as I did, you can purchase the following beautiful standard deck to begin using the techniques, per Doktor Snake....then, work your way up to the correspondences in the lovely book that comes with the card deck: "The Fortune Teller's Deck: Predict Your Future With Playing Cards," by Jane Lyle (ISBN # 0312136684). This deck has a particularly good feel and look for a Gypsy or Voodoo / Witchcraft practitioner--with an Antiqued style.

Keep in mind that "Doktor Snake's Voodoo Spellbook: Spells, Curses and Folk Magic for All Your Needs," by Doktor Snake, is a general overview of the subject and a personal account thereof....yet, it is a fascinating little book, packed with Spells, ideas, stories, inspiration and is well-worth the price.

I am very pleased with this book and it inspired me to research further. However, if you want in-depth research, I suggest "Voodou Visions." Don't pass-up Doktor Snake's book, though--it is worth owning just for the "playing card" Tarot correspondences!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, August 7, 2002

By	"sobekqebet" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

i absolutely adore this book!!!

It is a bit non-traditional, and may even seem fantasy based.....

But it is very inspiring, and i will say from personal experience that some of the spell work in this book has
worked for "me"..........

It is simple to understand, enchanting, and keeps you on the edge of your seat..........

i read it straight thru =)

5.0 out of 5 stars Thankyou Doktor Snake and Reviews., November 13, 2003

By	Goddess Anjelica "SHOES SHOES!" (VEGAS) - See all my reviews

I bought this book after reading the reviews listed on here about Dr. Snakes book. I must say I am glad I spent the money. It was well worth it and I just love the stories. There are a few good spells for money luck. Thats what I was interested in myself. I love the section on playing cards also. I love the stories about selling your soul to the devil to play guitar. Super book! Very neat. I totally recommend. I am buying one for all my soul sisters for X-mas. Dr. Snake write another book!!!!!
