Title: User Friendly Multicultural Magical Guide
Review: With so many anthropological books using a scholarly approach to understanding magical traditions of various cultures Judika Illes "Earth Mother Magic" is a welcomed addition for the practioner and novice alike. The book is concise, covering the essential aspects of ritual from birth, to dating, marriage, illness, aging and death. There are also cleansing rituals for spirits which lurk about the home and within us all. Earth Mother Magic is delightful and extends the understanding of African diasporic magic (a great deal of the spells and rituals are derived from traditional Hoodoo and Vodou practices), as well as traditions from Ancient Egypt and India, among other cultures. This book is an important addition to the bookshelves of students of the craft, priestesses, shamen and healers since it widens appreciation for magic drawn from the deep well of non-western belief systems.
