Hoodoo Shrines and Altars: Sacred Spaces in Conjure and Rootwork

Hoodoo Shrines and Altars is a book firmly rooted in tradition. It tells the history of African-American ancestor altars, candle altars, saint shrines, working altars, and altars hidden in plain sight, from the oldest forms to the most contemporary, and provides you with easy-to-follow instructions on how to build, furnish, pray and cast spells at your own altar.
