So to end things off, I think you can tell where my views on this book stand, haha.4700 Main Street Suite N-102, Orange Beach, ALĪ Unique Zen Experience in the Heart of Coastal Alabama.ġ620 Richard Arrington Jr Blvd S, Birmingham, AL Last time I checked with history people and countries including Christianity and priests haven't been so kind to Indigenous people.īut maybe I am wrong, maybe it isn't insensitive. In this book they had Pow Wow spells reciting words praying to "Lord Jesus Christ" "Pow Wows are powerful Indigenous gatherings where you’ll find multiple generations coming together to enjoy food, honour traditions, forge a sense of community, and practice spiritual healing." I got this next definition off of Destination Indigenous. Throughout this book there claimed to be "spells" from Pow Wow's. Insensitive: Okay so I want to mention I am white and this next one I am making this point based on history and what we know. ![]() The spell should be more like "How to lose a wife or husband fast" Weird and Gross: So another "spell" claiming "To Keep a wife or husband" on your wedding night, when your new spouse is sleeping, take your saliva and rub it on your spouses breast. "As it suffers the enemy will suffer." There is many things in this book like that example. Harm to animals: One "spell" claims it will "Make an enemy suffer" and by doing so you need to obtain a toad tie a hair of your victim to the left leg of the toad and put the toad in a pot.

Do not attempt any spell, recipe, procedure, or prescription in this book." I would like to mention in SMALL fine print it says "For entertainment purposes only. How do I describe this book in one word? BAD! And that is an understatement. I didn't put a spoiler on it because this book isn't a story nor does it have a plot. Note: My review talks about text in this book and if you find that a spoiler don't read my review. Outdated, cultural appropriation of closed practices, and all around useless. If anything, this seems more like a book of old superstitions and remedies, but the remedies are all only verbal spells (though you can cure drunkenness with an owl or stork egg I guess). This isn't a love spell either, it's a pimple removal spell. Though I love simple spells and incantations, one is "ancient Macedonian" where you- sorry, THOU- stand naked under a tree, holler that you want a man, walk away naked for 40 paces before you get dressed. There are Indigenous "pow wow" spells, "gypsy" spells and charms (why use the word gypsy? Unless I missed clarification, that is not how they refer to themselves AND it has negative/prejudiced connotations). She says many spells come from other cultures and belief systems, some of which are closed systems that you can't just freely practice. From the introduction I could tell this book would be decidedly NOT great. Place it in a sacred place in your home-and make sure no enemies find it to access its inestimable powers!
