Karol Jackowski

“Miss Aida’s Hoodoo Cleansing and Protection Magic is a book that many other authors would like to have written, however few possess the knowledge and experience, as well as the patience and certainty to have done so. The formulas shared in Hoodoo Cleaning and Protection Magic are as complete and extensive as they are incredible. My favorite parts of this book are the explanations of the form, use, and tradition for each one. The clarity of Miss Aida’s vision allows her to express herself in a way that makes this book easy to understand for readers of any experience level.

Hoodoo is a magickal practice particular to New Orleans and surrounding regions in the South. Developed by enslaved Africans, the religion is a blend of West African beliefs, Native American customs, and Catholicism. Similar to other forms of conjure, Hoodoo utilizes herbs, roots, specialty waters, candles, incense, stones, crystals, incantations, and prayers in its practice. Aida (Destroying Relationships: Hoodoo Spells To Break Up, Separate, Hot Foot, and Drive off Foes and Rivals) applies a sophisticated lens to provide authoritative and extensive uses of Hoodoo for both identifying and managing problems from the disagreeable (annoying people, spells gone awry, funky household energy) to the worrisome (dangerous individuals, illness, harmful spirits, bewitched objects). Many of the spells and rituals are as simple as common house cleaning chores and implements, while others are more complex, requiring patience, attention to detail, and specific artifacts. Aida emphasizes personal accountability and study in order to avoid scammers and cults, and urges contacting professionals or the authorities in more serious scenarios, such as domestic abuse or sexual predation. VERDICT Fascinating, well-written, real-life stories illustrate the uses and power of Hoodoo practice. Students of the occult will find this a more than worthy read.—Janet Tapper, formerly with Univ. of Western States Lib., Portland, OR
