More than just a collection of spells, The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire contains tips and recommendations for improving one's spell-crafting skills and living a magical, spiritual life. The author draws upon her own Creole heritage to bring this unique and regional style of magic to the greater public in a clear and accessible way. Formulas include:

• Controlling Powder: A simple recipe that can be made at a moment's notice to influence someone to act in your favor.
• Follow Me Boy Conjure Oil: According to oral tradition, this recipe was created by Marie Laveau. Originally designed for prostitutes, this recipe has money, love, and protection herbs incorporated in it. This blend is favored for its power to attract, seduce, and enthrall.
