"When most Americans outside black culture hear the words hoodoo or mojo, they think of ridiculous movie stereotypes-sticking little dolls with pins or cooking up a noxious brew to keep your man from straying. Now, in Sticks, Stones, Roots & Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo & Conjuring With Herbs, Stephanie Rose Bird-a talented author, healer, and artist who inherited her family's way with roots and spirits-offers a deep, sumptuous new guide to hoodoo's true origins, philosophy, ethics, tools, and techniques, worth reading if just to learn more about Afro-Atlantic culture. You might think you'll never find time to concoct 'Angels on High Soap' or 'Commanding Powder'-'for tough jobs, strength, and to build courage'-but, honey, you never know when you might need a 'Stay Away From Me Mojo' hand".- Village Voice

"With humor and a postive outlook, Bird does a convincing job of inspiring the reader to rediscover life's magic through a connection with the natural world. In addition to providing plenty of useful and easy-to-follow recipes for making a 'mojo,' or trick bag, Bird shares her boundless enthusiasm and respect for the power of Hoodoo. Her book . . . shares a rich piece of American history that often goes untold."- Herb Quarterly
