BOOKS ON THE FOLKLORE AND SOCIOLOGY OF MAGIC AND RELIGION

Folklore is the study of people's customs, beliefs, and practices -- especially those which are not imposed on them by mass-marketing or global media corporations. The study of folklore contains many branches, including the study of songs, dances, stories, magic, and religions which are transmitted from person to person rather than devised by a paid "creative team" and force-fed to the public via outlets such as films and television. Because folklore is transmitted personally, its content varies from culture to culture, and people with an interest in the subject often like to compare the customs of one culture with those of another. The books in this section deal with folklore in its many aspects, but with a focus on magic and religion, and a special emphasis on how African American rootwork, conjure, and hoodoo developed in America and where the practice of magic stands in today's American culture.

Presented alphabetically from Aariel to Zynextyur, more than 1,500 demons are introduced, explored, and cross-referenced by theme and elemental or planetary correspondence.

	Conjure Times: Black Magicians In America by Jim Haskins and Kathleen Benson A lively, interesting, carefully researched look at a unique aspect of African-American history and culture that introduces the lives of black magicians, beginning with Richard Potter, "America's First Negro Magician," son of a plantation owner and a slave.

Slavery, racial discrimination, and segregation are discussed as part of the social history surrounding the lives of the performers profiled.

	Hollywood Be Thy Name: African American Religion in American Film, 1929-1949 by Judith Weisenfeld From the earliest years of sound film in America, Hollywood studios and independent producers of "race films" for black audiences created stories featuring African American religious practices.

This Amazing Book
Hoodoo Herb and Root Medicine
Opens the Door to Better Health
This Amazing Book is by Sunrae Products Company
and is restored, revised, and edited by catherine yronwode.
In 1947, when it was first offered for sale, This Amazing Book was a rural herbalist's delight. Published by the strangely obscure Sunrae Products Company in the tiny town of Ogema, Wisconsin, it was marketed via a series of small classified ads in popular do-it-yourself magazines, and gave traditional rootworkers an introduction to the convenience of mail- order supplies.

The anonymous author took the secret of his or her identity to the grave, but the data supplied here about down-home treatments with herbs, roots, seeds, and flowers forms the foundation of modern herbal medicine.

Now, on the 70th anniversary of its original publication, the Lucky Mojo Curio Company is proud to present a restored and revised edition of this essential text, newly edited by catherine yronwode and illustrated with the classic botanical art of F. Schuyler Mathews. Filled with historically valuable medical lore, this beautiful book belongs in every conjure worker's library.

BOOKS ABOUT SPIRITUALISM :

Spiritualism centers around the belief that the dead are able to communicate with the living, whether via dreams or other signs, or through the assistance of a gifted spirit medium. Spiritualist churches, organizations, and associations do not adhere to a single creed; in fact, some groups specifically renounce the concept of having a creed and prefer that each member understand the truth of spirit contact through personal experience. A variety of sources have influenced the development of the many differing modern Spiritualist denominations. Among these influences, one can see clear traces of Protestant Christian, Pentecostal Christian, Catholic Christian, Quaker, New Thought, Deist, Hindu, Theosophical, and Neo-Pagan concepts. For instance, some Spiritualist organizations endorse the concept of the Summer-Land as a place where spirits reside after physical death, while others endorse the idea of ongoing spiritual reincarnation in physical bodies on Earth. Members of one Spiritualist body are unlikely to be entirely comfortable with the beliefs in another body that differs widely from their own, hence these organizations are considered as separate denominations in the over-arching religion of Spiritualism.
