A ritual book
Minimal on introductory basics (what is believed, ect.) and geared towards an active practitioner, with recipes for specific purposes and spells.

This is one of the very few books on Santeria in English and the spells and such are described better than my Voodoo Hoodoo book
This is a decent book on exactly what the title says. The spells, candle magick, oils, and incense part of the book is better than many of my Voodoo spell books. I only gave it four stars because the history of Santeria was seriously lacking and many of the ingredients either need translation or are simply unattainable for instance the powdered bone of a Jaguar, monkey and many other animals that you could never get even from the Voodoo suppliers. It is also very hard to find a decent book on Santeria that is in English. This one is in English but many of the ingredients need translating into enlish but I would still buy this book again.

Santaria Formulary and Spellbook.
I love this book on the the various Santeria potions, spells and rituals. once you get past some of the outlandish ingredients such as monkey feces, walk by a cemetery at 12:00 PM where two dogs fought huh? powered human skull and powered African frog. *roll eyes* now while Palo is a path of black magik and does contain some diabolical rituals and ingredients we are not in the Congo. true practitioners of these path’s, will never reveal their secrets as they are bound by oaths of secrecy. meanwhile these other “various” practitioners have to write diabolical rituals so the masses can feel like they are attempting dastardly deeds, which by the way does exist. but the average person does not need to go through such lengths to obtain the benefits of magik. most magik is designed to improve every day lives, and this is where this comes in, no matter what your path, there is a ritual in here for you, there is excellent info on the various herbs for various Orisha’s, formulary to make your own oils for various deities and astral energies, making candles, tinctures, incense, floor washes, bath crystals and oil lamps. its a virtual go to book on how to do ritualistic magik. once you scroll past the monkey paw, rhino’s leg and tiger teeth your fine. and excellent formulary and spellbook for those wanting to delve magikal (ATR) afrikan traditional paths.

Great for Hoodoo Practitioners
This formulary & spellbook just keeps on giving. It will not overpower you with the sense that you can’t try any Santeria unless you are an initiate, the opposite it inspires you to use the spells in this book. Really it’s not a beginners book and you will have to google-translate some of the herbs and depending on where you live some woods/herbs will be unavaliable but adding it to Hoodoo you can search the energy needed in a local wood or plant. It’s one of my favourite books.

Great book

This book requires you to collect a multitude of (for me anyway) unattainable ingredients. I didn’t get along with this book at all. I have since moved on to folk magick books, I seem to get along with them much better. A good recommendation from me would be “Mastering Witchcraft” if you want to get the juicy and exciting info on natural magick.
