When African slaves were brought to the American South to work the plantations, they brought with them their culture, traditions, and religion—including what came to be called voodoo. This unique blend of Christianity, herbalism, and folk magic is still practiced in South Carolinas Lowcountry.

Though a beginners guide, Lowcountry Voodoo offers a surprising wealth of information about this fascinating part of Lowcountry life.

Learn about:

the Gullah and their ways
how to bring good luck and avoid bad luck
spells and curses and how to avoid them
how to cook up traditional good-luck meals for New Years Day
