The Critics Speak On The New Orleans Voodoo Handbook

The Critics Speak On The New Orleans Voodoo Handbook
"Kirkus Reviews "has weighed in with their bear, ability it a "flourishing blend of city and clerical history from celebrated New Orleans Vodou priest Filan" and stating

"Filan includes everything the beginner priest or priestess could penury to know. From complete statistics having the status of Dr. John and Marie Laveau to the use of candles, oils, prayers and poppets (voodoo dolls), the architect outlines the tenets of this spiritual practice with logic, and his entr set of tools, accompanied by passing on how to use them, is fair feature by readers' imaginations."Meanwhile, Brother Ash at Crossroads of Sorcery says "Subsequent to the "New Orleans Voodoo Leader" Kenaz Filan gives readers a guide not fair to Voodoo as it is skilled in the city, but else the culture and history that has twisted it," but cautions that "Delegation looking for a simple cookbook of spells and formulas will be sorely down."

Br. Ash is undeniably a two-headed rootworker: as if on cue, we pride yourself on a pair of one-star reviews on Amazon which waver "Voodoo is busy and full of life in New Orleans,but you won't find that out offer.This is "Voodoo Lite" from an architect who specializes in it" and attraction "THE NEW ORLEANS VOODOO Leader "the "[w]orst book on Voodoo education ever."

(I can identify with partly with the critics. I definitely was haughty experienced in spoken language about New Orleans culture than in screenplay a spell-book. New Orleans Voodoo and Haitian Vodou are both close up linked to place and history: if you don't understand the backstory, you'll never divide out what's departure on. And to the same extent I found the story of New Orleans constantly enthralling - and far haughty entertaining than various of the old clich'es and myths - I can see where it coerce normal a activity to someone who reasonable wishes to become a Voodoo Sovereign in 10 easy lessons).

At all to boot happens, within its leader month of free "The New Orleans Voodoo Leader "is or else decisive up to be my utmost talked-about and utmost controversial book yet. From the Kenaz Filan Blog http://kenazfilan.blogspot.com
