THE LATEST AND GREATEST:

Join hosts Salem Warlock Christian Day and Salem Witch Lori Bruno as they welcome Denise Alvarado, author of the Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook. "Voodoo Hoodoo" is the unique variety of Creole Voodoo found in New Orleans. The Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook is a rich compendium of more than 300 authentic Voodoo and Hoodoo recipes, rituals, and spells for love, justice, gambling luck, prosperity, health, and success. Cultural psychologist and root worker Denise Alvarado, who grew up in New Orleans, draws from a lifetime of recipes and spells learned from family, friends, and local practitioners. She traces the history of the African-based folk magic brought by slaves to New Orleans, and shows how it evolved over time to include influences from Native American spirituality, Catholicism, and Pentecostalism. She shares her research into folklore collections and 19th- and 20th- century formularies along with her own magical arts.

Sporadic tumblings on the African Diaspora in the Americas.

Conjure woman from Washington County Georgia and great grandmother of [“Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly”] artist Inga Kimberly Brown. Brown writes,

I met a new artist friend, Denise Alvarado and she has published a new book of articles and art that have much to do with our relative Voodoo, [what] we call Hoodoo and Root Work. As to my knowledge some of my Grandmother’s definitely lived by this old tradition and practiced it. Some of them did not. When Denise saw a picture of one of my Great Grandmother’s she asked if she could use the picture of my Grandmother Marie Steel in her new journal “Hoodoo and Conjure Quarterly” I said yes and stated that “my Grandma Marie would have loved it I’m sure”.

Inga’s grandma Marie represents so much of what southern hoodoo is all about. She was black and Cherokee Indian, and that cigar…
