Hoodoo Herbal is a comprehensive guide to Hoodoo plant magic, containing detailed information on dozens of roots and herbs. It is accessible, practical, low-cost, and reflects the practical nature of conjure. For example, the snake plant (Dracaena trifasciata) is valued for its anti-gossip properties and is used to keep lying tongues from disrupting the home. Its leaves are shaped like a double-edged sword, which can cut through malicious works (spells) that may have been sent against the user. Similarly, the Touch-Me-Not or shameplant (Mimosa pudica) is used for protection. Starr's knowledge comes from a lifetime of experience and her family's secrets. Her grandmother kept Touch-Me-Nots in buckets on either side of her front door. This book will be of interest to lovers of herbals and students of Southern folkways, as well as those who seek to put the information into use. In addition to detailed information about a wide variety of plants, there is also practical information about planting seeds and cutting and transplanting plants. Starr advises that as the plants thrive and grow, the works for which they are used will grow stronger too.
