The Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook by Denise Alvarado is a broad and practical guide to the spells, rituals, formulas, and spiritual traditions of New Orleans Voodoo and hoodoo.

The book includes spells and remedies alongside instructions for working with talismans, charms, gris-gris, powders, inks, oils, incense, baths, and other traditional materials.
Readers will also find information on Voodoo spirits, the Seven African Powers, important Loas, novenas, Psalms, prayers, ancestors, Voodoo dolls, and related spiritual practices. The emphasis throughout is on practical application and understanding how these traditions have been used to address real-life needs.
