This is a well written book that with each chapter gives true praise to 35 years of experience from the author. Working Conjure begins with a brief history of how it was introduced to the American Culture but quickly jumps into the core of how working conjure is performed. Each chapter identifies a specific area of conjure from the importance and significance of both the materials required and the ways in which they are used. One does not need to have a prior knowledge of conjure to receive all the values this book contains. Working Conjure does well to identify the true nature of working with hoodoo and conjure through clear explanation of each step for why each is performed and does a perfect job of identifying true practice from misconceptions of movies and fictional stories. I am fortunate to have meet the author and have attended classes of his and this book is like have a personal class from him whenever I need a refresher, my only wish is to see more volumes from him.

Very nice informative book about all type of spiritual work lots of recipes to do would really recommend it,

The late Hoodoo Sen Moise provides valuable insight into the world of Hoodoo. A great book to add to your collection.

I love everything about this book; the willingness to share and educate on conjure in a way that was so easy to understand and engaging. Thank you

This book is very informative and delivers what it promises in the form of basic and important guidance in how to conjure. I picked up this little gem in order to deepen my understanding as well as research for a fictional story I am writing. In the process, I incorporated some of the rituals and suggestions into my own practice as they are enjoyable and I resonate with a lot of it. Personally, I could do without the prayers and the Bible verses, but having practiced hoodoo and conjure myself over the years, I can respect it as a part of the history and practice. While that part is not my cup of tea, there is still a lot of good information and guidance here for an old Chaote like me, and I'm happy with my purchase.

Great book. I keep seeing people say that certain books are for beginners and I don’t like to label books “beginner” or “advanced” because ever book has value and you will hear something you can use. This book brings lots of fantastic spiritual teachings to the table and I’m very happy with my purchase. There’s information for beginners and advanced in there. The only thing I can say that’s kind of a bummer is some of the things he includes for spell ingredients like 3 tablespoons of dirt from the grave of someone who died of a broken heart? Or dirt from the grave of someone who died a violent death or the fingernail clippings, hair or saliva from someone, if you don’t get along with this person how are you going to do that? Other then that part it’s a fantastic read.

This book is awesome. It is written so intelligently and in such a folkish kind of style. The rituals are so easy to follow. I mean unless you don't mind people watching you kneeling down and praying psalms at the crossroads or hanging voodoo dolls upside down in the cemetery. . . lol. What I like most is how he avoids trying to sell "mysterious" hoodoo oils and washes with mysterious names and instead gives you detailed instructions on how to do them yourself. In short, the book provides an excellent summary of the philosophy or principle behind hoodoo and then provides practical rituals that anyone can do or incorporate in their daily lives. I rate it A+.
