Hoodoo Medicine is a unique record of nearly lost African-American folk culture. It documents herbal medicines used for centuries, from the 1600s until recent decades, by the slaves and later their freed descendants, in the South Carolina Sea Islands. The Sea Island people, also called the Gullah, were unusually isolated from other slave groups by the creeks and marshes of the Low Country. They maintained strong African influences on their speech, social customs, and beliefs, long after other American blacks had lost this connection. Likewise, their folk medicine mixed medicines that originated in Africa with cures learned from the American Indians and European settlers. Hoodoo Medicine is a window into Gullah traditions, which in recent years have been threatened by the migration of families, the invasion of the Sea Islands by suburban developers, and the gradual death of the elder generation. More than that, it captures folk practices that lasted longer in the Sea Islands than elsewhere, but were once widespread throughout African-American communities of the South.

In 1947, when it was first offered for sale, This Amazing Book was a rural herbalist's delight. Published by the strangely obscure Sunrae Products Company in the tiny town of Ogema, Wisconsin, it was marketed via a series of small classified ads in popular do-it-yourself magazines, and gave traditional rootworkers an introduction to the convenience of mail- order supplies.The anonymous author took the secret of his or her identity to the grave, but the data supplied here about down-home treatments with herbs, roots, seeds, and flowers forms the foundation of modern herbal medicine.Now, on the 70th anniversary of its original publication, the Lucky Mojo Curio Company is proud to present a restored and revised edition of this essential text, newly edited by catherine yronwode and illustrated with the classic botanical art of F. Schuyler Mathews. Filled with historically valuable medical lore, this beautiful book belongs in every conjure worker's library.

A Savannah native approaching retirement from a medical career returns home to write his sabbatical book. An encounter with Mae, a mysterious Gullah woman, takes him into magical adventures covering almost 3 centuries based in the landmarks of his hometown. The sights, sounds, history, and smells of Savannah are irresistible, and qualify the town as a full-fledged character in this story. He ventures to partake of some of Mae's root doctor tea and is propelled into dreamscapes that blur time and reality. During one of these walkabouts he meets Mary, the biracial healer sitting at a campfire outside the downtown hotel serving as a hospital for Sherman's troops in 1864. When he is forced to participate in the horrors of unnecessary amputations inside, Mary leads him to an understanding of her particular blend of healing. She is a product of the hoodoo system brought from west Africa that flourished in the coastal islands' Gullah settlements while she also incorporates Indigenous American skills using the Great Spirit's natural gifts. The apparent urgency to save the soldiers inside the hotel turned hospital causes this doctor to question everything about the European tradition of healing which has molded him into a modern practitioner. This leads to an internal journey seeking forgiveness for perceived missed opportunities with his patients. He wanders among stories from practice and teenage experiences that formed him prior to medical training, and finally Mary provides the needed direction. His traditional training as a family doctor might qualify him as a hoodoo doctor and his Catholic upbringing provides the needed convergence for these two colleagues to connect on a spiritual level. Their collaboration starts slowly and builds to a surprising climax with the intertwining of all 3 healing traditions. Ultimately, this journey provides some sense of closure for the unfinished business hidden within this modern hoodoo practitioner.
