About
“I’m a voodoo man. I cast spells and talk to the spirits and the dead…”
 |
| Doktor Snake is a rare and unique individual. He makes his living and supports his family entirely from magickal services. No day job. No royalties from books (he burns them). He sells spells. Pure and simple. He’s a purveyor of magick and sorcery. Just like the old hoodoo doctors in the Deep South used to do, and the cunning men of old. He makes money as a real magickian. |
Legendary voodoo man Doktor Snake (“Doc”) is the UK’s leading voodoo practitioner. He provides high-quality voodoo spellcasting services and card readings to clients around the world. Doktor Snake was taught the dark arts of voodoo by the late Earl Marlowe, a Trinidadian singer and voodoo man whom Snake played guitar for in a band during the 1980s.
Besides music, the two would cast voodoo spells, and perform exorcisms and séances, for clients in London and other parts of the UK, and later the USA. These experiences were chronicled in Doktor Snake’s Voodoo Spellbook, published by St. Martin’s Press. With evocative illustrations by Chris Daunt, the book has been described as “kick-ass voodoo on crack.”
Doktor Snake is also a voodoo bluesman who, at live shows, riffs out classic and self-penned urban blues tunes, along with telling colorful voodoo tales, and dispensing sage hoodoo advice to the crowd.
Today Doc divides his time between London, LA, and Crawlin’ Kingsnake Island, where he cannot be reached by phone, fax or e-mail. Only true hoodoos know how to reach him there.
Doktor Snake walks on the edge of forever and always pays heed to his dreams.
