If you want to learn authentic spiritual practices that are steeped in tradition, I can think of no better book than the one you are holding in your hands<i>.</i>"--Madame Pamita, author of Madame Pamita's Magical Tarot and The Book of Candle Magic<br><br><i>"Mountain Conjure and Southern Root Work</i> is a masterpiece. From the very first page, Orion invites us to walk through the culture, history, and magic of root working. Orion's eloquence is majestic; to read this book is to understand the true meaning of the word 'soulful.' Read this book and you will understand the workings and social role of root workers in all their ancestral depth, and the cultural significance and beauty of Appalachia."--Elhoim Leafar, author of The Magical Art of Crafting Charm Bags.<br><br>"We walk a steep and rock-strewn path here in Appalachia--a place haunted by undying and toxic stereotypes, as well as a history of relentless extractions and intractable poverty. Out of this rough stew, we create poetry, music, and magic. Orion's book explores one of our many paths to the Mystery and invites the reader to join that exploration." --<b>H. Byron Ballard, </b> folklorist and author of <i>Staubs and Ditchwater: A Friendly and Useful Introduction to Hillfolks' Hoodoo</i> --H.
