Description
by Terrance Zepke (Author), Michael Swing (Calligrapher)
When African slaves were brought to the American South to work the plantations, they brought with them their culture, traditions, and religion--including what came to be called voodoo. This unique blend of Christianity, herbalism, and folk magic is still practiced in South Carolina's Lowcountry.
Though a beginners guide, Lowcountry Voodoo offers a surprising wealth of information about this fascinating part of Lowcountry life.
Learn about:
- the Gullah and their ways
- how to bring good luck and avoid bad luck
- spells and curses and how to avoid them
- how to cook up traditional good-luck meals for New Years Day
- a real voodoo village you can visit
- sweetgrass baskets
- events and tours to acquaint you with Lowcountry culture.
- a boo hag bride who sheds her skin at night
- Dr. Buzzard, the most famous root doctor
- a giant ghost dog
- a young man whose love potion worked too well
- George Powell, who outwitted a haint
- Crook-Neck Dick, who (mostly) outwitted a hangman
- Doctor Trott, who captured a mermaid.
