Urban Voodoo: A Beginners Guide to Afro-Caribbean Magic
Contents:
Never mind the fact that both Hyatt and Black were members of the O. While their humor and wit keep it an amusing read, I became somewhat weary of the negative tone by the end of the book. So far I have yet to learn anything about Afro-Caribbean magick I didn't already know.
Sadly, I fear if this book were someone's first introduction to Afro-Caribbean magick they'd probably lose interest or walk away in disgust due to its incessant and puerile attacks. The only thing saving it is S. Jason Black's hilarious wit. Review located at http: You must log in to edit Common Knowledge data. References to this work on external resources.

FREE: *EBOOK* Urban Voodoo: A Beginners Guide to Afro-Caribbean Magic
No library descriptions found. Voodoo, Santeria, and Macumba as practiced today in cities throughout the Western world. It is not another history or sociological study, but a candid personal account by two who came to "the religion" from the outside. It includes descriptions of the phenomena triggered by Voodoo practice, divination techniques, spells and a method of self-initiation.
My experiences with Voodoo began about or I had been involved with the "occult" for many years and had been in, or on the fringes of, a number of organized groups I began to withdraw from these association. I had come to the growing, and disappointing, realization that while most so-called "magical orders" claimed to teach and practice magic, almost none of them did so. The result was that, probably like the majority of people involved in esoteric disciplines, I began to practice alone or with a very few selected partners.
I have had psychic experiences since I was quite small.

In fact, the inability of my Presbyterian minister or Sunday school teachers to answer my questions about these Presbyterianism is radically non-mystical was what started my interest in the occult. During the intervening years I had become adept at tarot card divination, astrology, pendulum dowsing, and trance work. I spent a brief period as a professional psychic and a much longer period giving readings for businesses something I still do.
I mention this to make it clear that, when the events I am about to describe began, I was not a novice. Further, at the time, I had no interest in Voodoo whatsoever. What little I had read about it rather turned me off. I was sensing an impending change. I was working at a job in the broadcasting industry for which I had had high hopes. Unfortunately the business situation was going downhill, not just for me, but for people all over the country. One night in the midst of this, I performed a ritual to cleanse the atmosphere I used a professionally made and balanced dowser's pendulum for basic communication during this exercise.
I was informed that I had better be prepared for a move, since the situation I was in was unstable Furthermore, I was to get in touch with another energy — or order of beings, it was unclear — and what's more they were calling me. After the tedious process of getting this "revelation" I proceeded with the tedious process of finding out what the hell it meant.
People who pursue the occult for "the thrill" always tickle my funny bone. This was a simple process of elimination. I asked if a reference to what I was seeking existed in my personal library. I then began, one by one, to name the reference books on my shelves until the pendulum indicated I had named the correct one.
I opened the table of contents and went through the same process until I was told what chapter to look in, and repeated it again with the page number and then with the paragraph. The word — and the whole answer was reduced to something that small and specific — was Ifa, a Yoruba deity name that is mentioned only briefly in an early chapter of Grant's book.

At that moment the elevator lights went out, and the elevator door began shuddering open and shut like a spastic colon. In European magic, as well as its Voodoo cousins, a "link" is usually formed with the spirit to be conjured using either a symbol or icon traditionally associated with it. I mean if I really had to work with spirits I might, but I, for one, don't have the talent for it; and also, if I have to put up with people in the everyday realm, why would I need to fill my life with even more from the otherworldly side?
