The Original Witch Store

While generally thought of among "educated people" as inherently evil or nothing more than a system of superstitious beliefs, in reality, tapping into the forces behind Caribbean Magick allows people access to supernatural energies to improve their daily lives by gaining power in many areas of life, including luck, money, love, divination, health, employment, and sometimes, when necessary, revenge. Those who have unsuccessfully tried to eradicate this religion have long accused its adherents of being devil worshippers knowing full well that this is a big lie. The truth is that when African slaves mingled with the beliefs, customs and botanical knowledge of Native Americans and with the Christian, Jewish and pagan folklore of European immigrants. In fact, not only is God`s providence a factor in such practices (which we have collectively placed under the category of Caribbean Magick to simply matters), but God is, Himself, the archetypal hoodoo doctor. Obvious parallels between Moses and magick occur in the Biblical accounts of his confrontation with the Pharaoh in which he performed "miracles," such as turning his staff into a snake. His greatest feat of conjuring was using his powers to help free the Hebrews from slavery. Not surprising, as in many other folk religious, magical, and medical practices, extensive use is made of herbs, minerals, parts of animals` bodies and an individual`s possessions. The recitation of Psalms from the bible is also considered important in Caribbean Magick. Editor Dragonstar has also include the rare manuscript "The Black Pullet" from which generations of hoodoo conjurers have drawn mystical knowledge from.
