5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful deck!, April 24 2004

By	L. Reiter "shakashaka2" (Plano, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beautiful deck! Great artistry! Do be careful about the voodoo rituals, as in any other time you may think to call the spirits. There is no doubt - they are there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart deck!, April 24 2004

By A Customer

I just wanted to say that this deck is my favorite of all. I have had other decks, but this one has a pull. It also has, over time, become very intune with me. I can now tell someone I'm reading for the stop shuffling - I don't even have to touch the cards to know where the top card should be. Two nights ago I did a reading after not having picked up the deck in months. I did not have to shuffle. It's like the deck knew what my next question would be and it was prepared in advance. Very accurate deck, very interesting, and makes me feel like I know the spirits well. Also, if you have this deck wrap it in a cloth like it suggests. That's when my deck got really good. P.S. be careful what cloth. My deck hated white!

5.0 out of 5 stars It really amazes me, Feb 16 2004

By	Baron HOODOO (The DEEP SOUTH!) - See all my reviews

to note the superstitious gullibility that some people have! The deck is not evil nor is there any spirit residing in it. That reeks of the 70s and 80s tales of the Simon Necronomicon book. Or the morons who think they hear a Ouija board scream when it is tossed into a fire. (Actually it's their wallet screaming that they spent $20 for a Ouija board set and then burned it becuase some superstitious moron said it was evil! Hah!)

The cards are amazing! I have used the various cards for my workings with and without the root. The cards don't speak to me rather they allow me to put myself into a trance setting and enter the realm of the loa after I salute Papa LEGBA of course!

Lou is a noted Kabbala and Thelemic practitioner so if you look at how he's laid the foundation of the book, it follows the Hermetic scheme of the Tree of Life. The Simbi - masters of sorcery and magic - are alloted to the 8th cards which is the realm of Hod or Mercury. This is no accident and a very accurate placement in my opinion.

The book offers some insight into the loa and the realms of Voudou. I have made use of the veves for minor talismanic work along in my conjures. Hoodoo workings are 'not' the same as Voudou and we are much more free form. In fact, my Hoodoo teacher was very infatuated with the modern Chaos Sorcery paradigm to the point even that he began to implement the use of servitors in his Hoodoo workings.

Well worth the time and effort to use both. Though I do not use the cards for divination only because I tend to use a different form of divination all together.
