Reviews

. . . the book includes very useful and crucial information on love and relationships themselves. Rather than promising to get your lover back, Filan offers a plethora of troubleshooting information to try before doing spellwork . . . Good stuff all around. --Lupa, Facing North, July 2009


Self love and inner strength are far more important than anything you will get out of a relationship, and I believe this text can help to enforce that upon magickal practitioners.


""Kenaz Filan presents a wonderfully sane, mature, and effective approach to Vodou love magic with the intelligence and worldliness that are all too often lacking in this area of practice. Added bonus: it's polyamory-friendly."" * Lupa, author of DIY Totemism, and webmistress of Pagan Book Reviews * ""Far more than just another book of love spells, Vodou Love Magic encourages readers to utilize common sense, emotional awareness, and psychological self-evaluation. Brimming with history, honesty, and experience, this is a book for anyone wishing to deepen the relationship with the self, others, and the ancient ones."" * Raven Digitalis, author of Shadow Magick Compendium * ""Self love and inner strength are far more important than anything you will get out of a relationship, and I believe this text can help to enforce that upon magickal practitioners."" * Aradian, reviewer, Jan 2009 * “Did you ever wish that your heart came with an owner’s manual? Well, this is it. Kenaz Filan explains how relationships work, how to form them, and how to fix them when they’re broken. Vodou Love Magic is a practical yet entertaining manual for romantic fulfillment, ideal for practitioners of Afro-Caribbean magic and also suitable to people new to the tradition. Most highly recommended.” * Elizabeth Barrette, author of Composing Magic: How to Create Magical Spells, Rituals, Blessings, Cha * “Vodou Love Magic is a seductive velvet hammer. It is both a primer filled with practical advice on relationships and a luscious, fun-to-read book that gives the reader the straight dope on magick and spirit work.” * Tannin Schwartzstein, coauthor of The Urban Primitive: Paganism in the Concrete Jungle * ""Readers tired of the usual dating avenues--websites, bars, reality television--may want to check out this compilation of Haitian Vodou love spells. . . . to borrow from another tradition, lwa often help those who help themselves."" * Publishers Weekly, Feb 09 * ""Love spells and counseling for changing toxic behavior patterns pack an excellent survey perfect for new age libraries."" * The Midwest Book Review, May 2009 * "". . . the book includes very useful and crucial information on love and relationships themselves.
