Lucy,

Something i do, is when a charm or amulet dies i give it a proper burial like oak said. But i offer it some Tobbaco and a splash of whiskey i would do with any other beloved dead. but like i said thats just me.

Yes, once your High John is dead, give him a burial. No additional offering necessary, but do give him a little bit of ceremony, and a little marker of some kind - give him a proper funeral, in other words.

Thanks Wyatt. I was thinking to bury it.. what do u think would be a good offering?

hey lucy,

Ive honestly never heard of that happening. But i guess it is possible since it is a sort of charm of sorts. IMHO i think the best thing to do would be to bury it with an offering and a thank you for its service. Kinda like you would do with other charms and the like. i hope this helped.

I agree with Wyatt.  Stephanie Rose Bired book of sticks stones roots and bones is very washed with neo-wicca.  For more authenticity Denise Alvarado seems to be a better choice and that is just based on looking at a preview from her book.  Mama Starr I think is fabulous.  I am certainly saving up to purchase some of her books.  You can also listen to her with Dr. Lovebug here http://www.blogtalkradio.com/oldstyleconjure

Hello grayson,

I know im a noob here but thought i would throw my two cents in cause i know of these two authors. Stephanie Rose Bired IMHO isnt very good when it comes too hoodoo. I have read her book sticks stones roots and bones and its very white washed and Wicca based. The reason i say this is because well not only is it plain if read she also references scott cunningham often. Not saying she is a bad author just saying if your lookin for true to form hoodoo Not exactly the way to go.

Denise Alvarado from what i can tell from checking out her hooodoo ning site and her blogs i can tell she truly has a  decent hold on to it. She was porportedly raised in new orleans and her style of hoodoo deffinetly shows it. It has a very Vodoun Flair. I personly havent gotten around to ordering her books (not enough in the rainy day fund yet) but i would say go with her.

Since we are on the subject another author you may want to look into if you havent already is Mama Starr Casas(sp?) She is very good She puts it plain and has 30 years as a rootworker under her belt her website is (hope im not  breaking any rules..if i am sorry) www.oldstyleconjure.com

Hope this helps

Hello witches! It has been a while since I have been on here! (Needless to say, I have missed you guys), my dongle won't allow me to view this site as its for "adults". LOL
I have a question regarding hoodoo authors. The books are not too common in the UK but good old Amazon have some. There are a couple I'm looking at but have no idea on the quality of the content, I want to avoid the hoodoo versions of SRW!!
Any idea what "Denise Alvarado" or "Stephens Bird" are like?
Bendithion.
