The listing, Charms Spells & Formulas by Ray Malbrough has ended.
Used large PB in good shape.
This is a lovely little book most suited for people who like to practice Hoodoo - Hoodoo is not associated with any religion per se, and practitioners of Hoodoo may belong to any religion or none at all. While Hoodoo magick contains folk spells intended to help you harness the forces of nature to improve your life, you may also look upon Hoodoo as a tool for programming the subconscious mind. Subconscious mind communicates through the language of symbols, and using candles, oils and incense and other tools helps the person to more vividly subjectively experience the desired outcome, and it may be particularly helpful for people who have a challenge visualizing, as the purpose of the ritual is to help you to engage as many of your senses as possible.
This charming book contains simple spells for cleansing your home of any adverse energies, for attracting love and wealth into your life, for bringing about healing, for spiritual strength, good luck, for stopping gossip, and many others. It also provides brief information on different color correspondences, the use of gems, herbs, how to make some basic oil and incense formulas, as well as washes, how to create gris gris bags, how to work with magic lamps, and prayers to different saints.
Different saints may be called upon for assistance with different problems, e.g.
* St. Clara - for understanding in all matters
* Our Lady of Lourdes - for healing the sick
* Archangel Michael - for protection
In Hoodoo, it is popular to work with psalms, so the book also contains recommendations for what psalms may be helpful for which purpose, e.g.
* to have a good luck in all that you do - psalm 57
* for thanksgiving or recovery from illness - psalm 30
* for greater spiritual awareness - psalm 99
