Product Description
Hexes, curses and other unsavory notions. Most magical practitioners won't even discuss them. Why? Because they'd much rather find a positive solution that benefits all concerned. And, there's nothing wrong with that. Occasionally, though, our problems are such that nothing in the positive solution arena will handle them. It's time to make a decision to stand tough, be strong, and take definitive action to defend ourselves. And, if you're ready to do that-if you're ready to own that action and take responsibility for it-then Utterly Wicked is the book for you! Jam-packed with more than one hundred rituals, incantations, hexes and curses, this book is the quintessential primer for learning all those magical tricks that no one wants to talk about. Do you know the proper way to enter a cemetery? Utterly Wicked tells you how, as well as the proper methods for collecting and using graveyard dirt. Explore the little known secrets of the 11" fashion doll and see why it's become such a valuable magical tool. Then learn to prepare Hot Foot Powder, Four Thieves Vinegar, Goofer Dust, and other magical components specifically designed to obliterate your toughest problems. Most important, though, you'll also find the tools to protect yourself, your family, and your home from ever being bothered with these sorts of difficulties again. A must have for any Witch's bookshelf!

Wow, Dorothy! This isn't Kansas anymore! August 28, 2008

This is the most wondrous, high-octane book on my shelf, and I have pointed several other Witches towards it! Hurray Dorothy! I recently used a fashion doll from the Dollar Store as a poppet, per one of the recommendations in the book, and laid one helluva hex without sewing a poppety stitch. Great for those of us who are Witchy as heck, but domestically impaired. I also loved Dorothy's tips on gathering grave yard dirt -- attending funerals have taken on a whole new fiendish dimension now. For those in the Craft community who seriously need to 'grow a pair', get this book!
A wicked treat August 28, 2008

This witch sure has a gift with words! She covers the topics of ethics clearly, and explains this is not the book for fluffy bunny types. After finishing the book, I reccomended this to all my friends. My favorite recipe was the "Queen of the f***ing universe" incense. Very original ,and each spell is quite useful for any witch not wanting to bend over to the bullying,assult, and threats, because the rule of three tells them to
Great work...some witches do hoodoo too! August 28, 2008

I disagree with the Wheatfield woman's review about this book. The author has taken hoodoo and applied it to witchcraft and I used to work in an occult store that did the same thing. It's an entertaining read and effective, so I feel the author is unfairly rated. For those who might think this is Wicca, the author doesn't mention Wicca at all in this (mind you witchcraft and Wicca can be two different things, some witches are Wiccans, some witches aren't) except for a bit about the Rule of Three or Rede, which states, "Do what you will and harm none."
I bought it for the entertainment value and the irony since people think if you are a witch, you must be hexing people. Buy it for a lark if you are a pagan or witch then put it on the table next time one of your more liberal yet not pagan friends comes over, gauge their reaction, you will see their eyes go to it! :) I wouldn't recommend this at work or with people who wouldn't get the joke or the stereotype, even through there is a parody of the Wicked Witch of the West on the cover. Go figure. I assume the publishing house wanted to try to cash in on the Wicked reference, I hope that did them good.
Yet even if you wanted to do the hexes here, they are seated in research and my copy is right next to my copy of Yronwode's hoodoo book and they seem quite at home together on my shelf.
 Good Stuff, but... August 17, 2008

This is a pretty good description of the maigical system known as hoodoo or rootwork and practiced my mostly Christian, mostly African-American Southerners. As an African-American who practices both hoodoo and Wicca I take issue with the sensationalist title that further promotes the stereotype of African based magic as "wicked". Also I feet that catherine yronwode and Stephanie Rose Bird do a better job of covering this type of magic.
5 stars is simply not enough July 31, 2008
