—Priestess Stephanie Rose Bird, magick-maker, artist, and author of Motherland Herbal, African American Magick, The Healing Tree , and numerous others

Denise Alvarado's writing is both engaging and informative, making it accessible to both newcomers and seasoned practitioners alike. Whether you are a curious reader interested in the occult or a dedicated student of Voodoo, this book provides a rich and enlightening experience.

—Denise Augustine, owner of Our Sacred Stories Tour Company
“To quote Denise Alvarado, ‘A book has the power to bewitch and enchant,’ and The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire certainly fulfills that potential. . . . Alvarado’s work is thorough, respectful, and rooted in her own deep knowledge of traditional practices, coupled with an anthropologist’s attention to meticulous research. At the same time, she is unafraid to interpret and expand to reflect contemporary needs as well as her own inspiration. The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire is full of useful information. But this is not a simple recipe book. The author explores the whys and wherefores—why you might want to employ a certain ingredient, what the meaning and power is within the ingredient, as well as the metaphor of the particular spell that renders the work effective. . . . By building creatively upon tradition, Denise Alvarado embodies the spirit of Marie Laveau, which elevates the work and lends vibrancy to her great legacy.”
—Sallie Ann Glassman, author of Vodou Visions , artist and cocreator of The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot
“ The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire is, without a doubt, the most delightful book I’ve read this year! Offering a glimpse into Marie Laveau’s life via historical tidbits, newspaper clippings, and quotations from those who knew her, this book is anything but a typical grimoire. While you’ll find the anticipated fare of charms, spells, formulas, and rituals, there’s also the unexpected surprise of recipes for bath and beauty, laundry and cleaning products, cures and remedies for minor afflictions, and—my personal favorite—traditional Southern dishes to prepare for family and friends. What Denise Alvarado has given us with this book is much more than a simple grimoire. It’s a rare gift—a quintessential guide to conjuring a magical life—and one that all practitioners will use and cherish.”
—Dorothy Morrison, author of Utterly Wicked
“ The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire by Denise Alvarado is a book steeped in New Orleans mysticism. It is a foundational understanding of Voodoo rites and rituals that delves way beyond the lore and fascination with Laveau’s enchanting hold on the city. This book is a must-have for folks researching the residual impact of spirituality on displaced Africans who call New Orleans family. Alvarado has written a prolific and redemptive tale, a delicious stew of just how revolution got its claim to fame.”
—Mawiyah Kai El-Jamah Bomani, author of Conjuring the Calabash
“Mam’zelle Marie and the legacy of Voodoo have often been maligned by mainstream media and treated with cock-eyed reporting from well-meaning apologists. Denise has done the research needed to tell the whole story. She portrays the life and works of Mam’zelle with respect, understanding, and emotional sensitivity. It reads well as the history of a community led by the influence of powerful and compassionate women. Sit back, read, gather your altar items, and prepare to conjure your best life. Power forward.”
—Yeye Luisah Teish, author of Jambalaya and A Calabash of Cowries
“As a long time devotee of the spirit of Marie Laveau, I found Denise Alvarado’s The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire to be practical, respectful, and an engaging introduction and immersion into the spiritual presence and power of the Mam’zelle. Filled with unique nuance, historical insight, and a buffet of recipes and practices presented in classic grimoire style, this book will be treasured for years to come. Alvarado shows her devotion to the mother of New Orleans Voodoo and offers the reader an invitation and opportunity to do the same.”

Reviews for "Linen Rove: A Journey into the World of Fashion Magic"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the "Magic Linen Rove". The fabric felt cheap, and it wasn't as soft or luxurious as I had expected. The fit was also strange, it was too tight around the bust and hips but loose in the waist. I ended up returning it because I just couldn't justify the price for such poor quality.
2. Mark - 1 star - I don't understand the hype around the "Magic Linen Rove". The color faded after just one wash, and the fabric shrunk significantly. It also wrinkled easily, making it look messy and unprofessional. I expected better durability and quality for the price I paid. I definitely won't be purchasing from this brand again.
3. Laura - 2 stars - The "Magic Linen Rove" didn't live up to my expectations. The stitching was subpar, with loose threads hanging from various seams. The dress also didn't drape as nicely as shown in the photos, it seemed shapeless and unflattering on me. Overall, it just didn't feel like a well-made garment. I was disappointed with my purchase.
