Review Quotes: "With chapters on Leghba, the Lord of Sexual Magic, the Voudonist Kabbalah, the Work of OTOA and LCN, and working with Les Vudu, the author presents a comprehensive introduction to practices within the tradition. He appreciates the central dictum that the magician is an artist and should continually explore their own inner kingdoms, led by what they find there. Many who enter this tradition, even those without professed artistic ability, suddenly find themselves driven to produce works. In this way, the Hoodoo manifests in current time and space, drawing sustenance from these objects as if they were offerings. Frater Vameri has made an offering of his own, one that others may take a piece of and, nurturing it, find their own journey into the realm of Voudon Gnosticism. It will help them gain a clearer understanding of Michael Bertiaux's work and perhaps reveal their own secret identity as a lucky Hoodoo."-- "Sean Woodward, grand master of Ordo Templi Orientis Antiqua and author of Keys to the Voudon Kingdom"
