Cheryl Cole of Girls Aloud says she’s had it with ripped guys after her split with footballer Ashley Cole. Now she says she’d favor a pot-belly over an athletic physique. But I’ve got just the recipe to bring Cheryl lasting romance and fidelity.
This is what I’d do for her: I’d fix up a love charm bag filled with angelica and spearmint, a sigil from unknown tongues, a lucky sixpence (for luck in love), love oil and and a conjure rod. I’d do some incantations over a cemetery grave and would instruct Cheryl to keep the charged-up items in the red flannel charm bag, which she would need to carry at all times. Read more…

Frank got in touch with me a while back. He was concerned that he couldn’t hold a relationship down. “No matter how in love with a girl I am, I shy away when it comes to sealing the deal. I just can’t stop myself. I don’t understand it. I wanted to marry a couple o’ girls, but I high-tailed,” he told me.
I asked him about previous relationships. It turned out he’d been married at 18, but this ended in divorce. “It ended bad,” he said. “My wife had it in for me.” Read more…

A true story from 1909, published in The Sunday Morning Star, Wilmington, Delaware
Wesley Shepardson, aged 49, and his friend, a youth called Norman West, went to the cops to make a complaint. Wesley told them he was being “hoodooed” by a conjure woman from the east side of the city, who apparently was trying to separate him from his wife.
Wesley told Police Captain Evans that the hoodoo woman visited his home the evening before and threw “conjure powders” on the floor. He said he was asleep upstairs at the time and the moment the powder hit the floor he woke up with a start.
He cautiously made his way downstairs and found the hoodoo woman sitting on the sofa between his wife and daughter. Wesley saw the conjure powder on the floor and became very scared. Read more…

During the 1930 many black American ex-slaves were interviewed for the U.S. government’s Virginia Negro Studies Project. Some outlined “conjure” recipes, while others noted how white slave owners aggressively outlawed hoodoo and African folk traditions.
Here’s some quotes from the study:
May Satterfield of Lynchburg gave a recipe for making a charm to bring good luck:
“…Git some rat veins, wil’ cherry blossoms, an’ bile ‘em togeder wid whiskey an’ make bitters.”

In the mid-1960s, the then 16-year-old Jane Collins (name changed for privacy), from Norwich, Norfolk, in Britain, had just got home from a busy day at work. She headed straight for her bedroom to relax. Minutes later, she had the feeling someone was in the room with her. She whirled round and in the doorway stood a tall man, clearly not her father, who would still have been at work, anyway. Read more…

“In the West African view of things, man lived and died – that was natural. In the natural order of things, the trees, the animals too, were born and died. Yet death was not seen as an end of life, for life was a continuum and after death man’s spirit, his ghost, remained close by loved ones – caring, assisting and helping meet their needs. Since man had doubles , each animate and inanimate object in nature did too. This world of spirit doubles’ was revered by the West African.”
Rod Bodin in Voodoo Past and Present.

Up until his death a few years back, Eduardo Calderon (born 1930) was a shaman operating on the north coast of Peru, near the city of Trujillo, some 600 miles from Lake Titicaca. He was the subject of UCLA (University of California Los Angeles) anthropologist Douglas Sharon’s thesis and book, The Wizard of the Four Winds, and other academic studies.
Calderon also gets a mention in British archaeologist, Evan Hadingham’s book, Lines to the Mountain Gods of Peru. In the book Hadingham says of Calderon: “Don Eduardo is a bit of a charlatan, but there’s no doubt he has tremendously improved on our understanding of Andean shamanism.” Read more…

Dubbed the “bad man” of Ufology, Colin Bennett’s Combat Diaries website has gained a massive following (3-4 million hits a month) and regularly causes outrage throughout popular culture and across the internet.
Colin Bennett is an important figure for our times. Not only has he written the definitive biography of Charles Fort (1874-1932), the maverick paranormal commentator, who went on to inspire a whole generation of writers and thinkers. But he’s waging a one man battle against political correctness, which is eating into our society and gradually eroding all forms or creativity and freedom of expression.
Bennett also writes provocative articles for UFO Magazine.
Bennett’s book on Fort is called Politics of the Imagination. It has a forward by John Keel (author of The Mothman Prophecies) and was published by Cosimo Books in spring 2008. Bennett’s thought-provoking novel, The Entertainment Bomb is also well worth adding to your collection. Both titles are available via Bennett’s site, www.Combat-Diaries.co.uk, or from Amazon.
I interviewed Colin during a brief lull in his busy schedule.
