LEGENDS OF INCENSE, HERB, AND OIL MAGIC:

Esoteric Students' Handbook of Legendary Formulas and Facts

by LEWIS DE CLAREMONT
restored, revised, and edited by CATHERINE YRONWODE

From 1936, when it burst on the scene, until 2006, when it went out of print, Legends of Incense, Herb, and Oil Magic was an occult shop classic. The first non-academic book that taught African American hoodoo folk magic, it was advertised in Black-owned newspapers nationwide and became many a rural rootworker's introduction to the convenience of mail-order spiritual supplies. You can read more about how this essential root doctor's text became a part of conjure history on cat yronwode's Legends of Incense, Herb, and Oil Magic background page

The author, whose name was certainly not "Lewis de Claremont," took the secret of his identity to the grave, but the formulas he introduced and his descriptions of down-home tricks with herbs, candles, incense, powders, baths, and talismans are recognized as the foundation of modern hoodoo.

On the 80th anniversary of its original publication, the Lucky Mojo Curio Company is proud to present a restored and revised edition of this important text, edited by catherine yronwode. Filled with curious lore and useful tips, this beautifully illustrated book belongs in every conjure worker's library.
