  365 Days of Hoodoo: Daily Rootwork, Mojo & Conjuration is an excellent resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about Hoodoo. Various chapters cover everything from gathering the required materials to learning spells.
  
  Starting with a brief history of the practice of Hoodoo and gradually introducing more information as the book progresses,
  Stephanie Rose Bird presents the material in an easy-to-learn way. Because each days tasks build on the previous work, the end result is a book that will not only teach you the basics of Hoodoo, but will also instill in you a routine that makes it easy to incorporate this practice into your daily life.
  
  Thank you to NetGalley and Llewellyn Worldwide, Ltd. for providing me with a DRC of this book.

  'Tis the season again. That time of year where I scramble to find unique and exciting gifts for the people I love. Many times that includes books about obscure subjects, and since my daughter loves all things esoteric I knew that this would potentially make a great Christmas gift for her.
  
  
  
  
  
  3.5 Stars
  
  This book is divided into three sections (including an extensive introduction) with each section being broken down into several chapters. Each of the sections begins with an introduction, followed by spells, rites, altars, ceremonies, recipes, and tricks. At the end of each section, there is a blank space for you to write down any personal thoughts you may have.
  
  -- Section I (Hoodoo's Fixin's).
  -- Section II (Tricks of the Hoodoo's Trade: Spells, Rites & More).
  -- Section III (Disturb Me Not: Shielding, Noticing & Undoing Negativity).
  
  
  
  
  
  This book is described as being aimed at both newbies and experienced practitioners alike. It begins with an overview of Hoodoo including its history and origin. Sprinkled throughout are special pages called HOODOO'S GARDEN AND CURIOS OF NOTE. which include step-by-step directions to growing and harvesting special herbs to use in your practice.
  
  Unfortunately, my ARC copy didn't include any graphics or fun typography. This may be due to the file format that was available to me, but I was certainly disappointed by that as the visual aspect of these type of books is often one of the main selling points. That aside, the book was still a fascinating read and would certainly make a great gift.

  I can’t speak highly enough of this book. It offers a complete introduction to Hoodoo practices geared towards any interested reader, regardless of their religious denomination.
  I knew virtually nothing about Hoodoo when I began. There's a lesson for each day of the year talking the reader through obtaining the basic supplies, how to go about “tricks” and general Hoodoo philosophy and advice.
  
  Its chapters are entitled:
  1. Mojo Bags
  2. Hoodoo Waters
  3. Fire, Candle & Incense Rites
  4. Foot Track Magick
  5. Dirt and Dust
  6. Attraction, Love & Relationship Tricks
  7. Luck, Abundance & Prosperity Work
  8. The Home
  9. Road to Success
  10. Protection Magick
  11. Justice Jobs
  12. Clarity: Unhexing & Banishing Work
  
  I am a plant enthusiast and was delighted by the sections interspersed throughout covering Hoodoo plants that grow well in the garden and how they can be used.
  I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to pick up a hard copy for my own personal use.
  I read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

  The information is clear and it’s perfect for beginners.
  However the (almost) weekly shopping list of specific ingrediënts, potions etc. is annoying.
  Most of those things are extremely hard to get in my country and they are super expensive. I would have loved a little more beginner/budget friendly options.

  This book is set up so you can begin on any day of the year. Each day has a small entry with an task to complete. The information is presented in an easy-to-understand format. Most of the ingredients for the tasks are readily available. If you are interested in Hoodoo, this would be a valuable resource.

  Well done and worth reading. I found that the author had an engaging literary voice and gave food information and instruction. If you want to find out about Hoodoo or just get another perspective on Majik and spell work I would reccomend this, it's worth purchasing. I would also be apt to read anything else by this author who really knows her stuff.
  There were a few pages where the info was cut off, I don't know if that was the author or the publisher but I wonder if another copy would have the same issues.

  Probably one of the best books on hoodoo out there in terms of training. I was actually pretty surprised at the scope of this book, as well as the contents.
  If you are looking to get started in hoodoo, this book is the best place to start. I highly recommend.

  I loved this book, it's laid out to do work over the course of a year BUT you can also go back to specific spells for specific situations if you want to. It's written in a very clear manner, well done.

  I didn't fit in with this. I suppose it would be good to use to learn hoodoo, but I couldn't get into it.

  Ms. Bird mentions that the daily work should be started at the first of the year but it's ok not to as well. I love working with water and use floor washes and so that is where I started.

  A progressive (as in, it builds upon previous steps) work on hoodoo. It should prove to be an interesting starting point for anyone looking to explore this area of magical work.

  What many people don't seem to realize is any book like this is going to include practices passed down which will be found in other books. This is a good compilation.
