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!

Utterly helpful, utterly true July 21, 2008
There are times in each of our lives when the need arises for protection, stopping a bad situation, doing what has to be done even if it's not something you'd normally choose to do - however, when pushed, who are any of us to say what the choices of another should be? This book gives a series of brilliant spells - she gives us here a form of self-defense that is palpable and sometimes (though not always) necessary. This is not a difficult book at all, but is by far the best I've read that gives solid information.
I loved above all that it did not choose to push us to follow her morals or choices - instead it allows us as readers to be adults in our own right and follow our own Path....to choose for ourselves. I've never been a fan of books that say "Don't do this, it's wrong/bad/etc." as I feel that I can choose for myself what I can/can't do or what I should or shouldn't do - and as it is, not everyone is Wiccan and follows the three-fold rule. If you are adult enough to make choices for yourself, you will be just fine reading this book and even following the spells you're drawn to when you're called to. Wicca is a beautiful path for those who are drawn to it - but it's not for everyone. Respect should absolutely also be given to those who choose to defend themselves and theirs when they feel the time is right.
It's About Time.... July 20, 2008
Dorothy Morrison has never been afraid to put herself out there when it comes to magick, and it's way past time someone came up with a commonsense guide to protecting yourself from present and future attacks of rudeness, robbery, rape, or even road rage. I look forward to the debate in the magical community as this book continues to grow in popularity. My friends and I read it in one day, laughing (cackling?) all the way through. If you've never met Dorothy, please consult her website for her travel itinerary. She is someone you don't want to miss out on knowing.
This Book Leaves No Stone Unturned July 9, 2008
This is a fabulous book explaining the different practices of magick. It is very informative and touches the areas where other authors have forgotten. This book is not afraid TO GO THERE. I loved this book and it was an enjoyable read with some of the most powerful and useful spells for everyday life. It covers EVERYTHING. Thank you to the author for making such a wonderful and lovely book, it is one of a kind.
Great Reference, Great Writing! July 8, 2008

This was a great book. The material was a bit dark, but after reading so many "white witch" books, it was a welcome change from reading about good magic. While I don't foresee myself ever using this book to curse or hex, the information contained in the volume is written well, in an easy and conversational tone, as well as useful for more than just what the title suggests.
I highly recommend this book, if for no other reason than the home protection, energy transitioning, and cemetery information she provides. She also added recipe for powders, incense, etc. and has several listings in the back of the book on where to obtain supplies, something that many books sorely lack.
After reading this book, I plan on buying her backlist. It as simply that good of a book.

This isn't witchcraft, it's African American Hoodoo. There's a HUGE difference. While much of it is quite good (good meaning accurate as far as formulations go), it is also lacking in some areas. If you're interested in learning true African American Hoodoo, try Catherine Yronwode. She's the tops in her field.
