The enlarged and revised edition of "The Guiding Light to Power and Success" by Mikhail Strabo was published in October 2020 in time with the Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, but if you plan to attend the Virtual Festival, you will get this book (and others) with your Workshop Box.

The Guiding Light to Power and Success by Mikhail Strabo, edited by Catherine Yronwode

Use in Magic:
This ground-breaking work was originally sold via ads in Black-owned newspapers, and it opened up a nation-wide conversation on the increasing importance of conjure work with candles. The author was a participant-observer and documentarian who respectfully verified the sources of his information from workers in the African-American Spiritual Church Movement, to compile a complete manual of home and church altar candle services for use in churches and by home practitioners. This famous hoodoo grimoire contains more than 50 candle and lamp spells for protection, love, wealth, and luck. Now, with 32 additional illustrated pages by editor catherine yronwode, The Guiding Light is back in print, bigger and better than ever. Chapters include: How to Set Up a Candle Altar, One-Candle Rites with Psalms, Seven-Candle Planetary Rites, Eight-Candle Sacred Octaves, Nine-Candle Catholic Novenas, Ten Ancient Oil Lamp Devotions, Twelve-Candle Zodiacal Rituals, How to Use Seals with Candles, and Candle-Magic Around the World. An inspirational occult classic, it remains a popular source-book to this day.

Spell Methods:
Lucky Mojo Books are filled with authentic and easy to follow instructions for practical spells of magic and fortune-telling. Enhance your success in spells of love, luck, happiness, and wealth by learning time-tested folkloric traditions of hoodoo, rootwork, psychic reading, spiritual sorcery, and herbalism.

Product Details:
96-page paperback, illustrated

The Guiding Light To Power and Success Questions and Answers

Post by Angelina2 » Tue Mar 31, 2009 5:17 am

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find the book "A Candle to Light Your Way" by Mikail Strabo?

I had seen it mentioned in one of the posts.I looked on Lucky Mojo, but didn't seem to find it. They do have "The Guiding Light To Power and Success" by Mikhail Strabo, however.

Thanks.

It's out of print. However, you're in luck. The entire text of "A Candle to Light Your Way" was included in Mikhail Strabo's second book, "The Guiding Light To Power and Success."

See

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I couldn’t find a thread for Mikhail Strabo’s other books.

Does anyone know when (or if) Lucky Mojo will again offer for sale the book by Mikhail Strabo called: The Magic Formula for Successful Prayer? This book used to be listed for sale in the online Lucky Mojo catalogue, in the catalogue section listing the Grimoires, but currently it is not listed.

Thank you for your time. A reply is appreciated.

I remember this book. I learned a lot from it, but I lost my copy (or loaned it out and it was not returned) years ago. The cover was not as nice as this one. Thanks for keeping these books in print and upgrading them as you do so.

If you want to read more about the origins of this book, see my web page on Mikhail Strabo --

https://www.luckymojo.com/strabo.html

He was a person with an interesting background, a genuine love of folk magic and spirituality, and a bit of eccentricity. This is the most popular of his many books.

Pre-orders are starting to come in! Thank you so much, folks -- but remember, your books will not ship until October 16th, 17th, or18th -- they are being printed right now!

Copies of this book will be distributed to all attendees of the 2020 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, at --

https://virtual.hoodooheritagefestival. ... tival-2020

(NOTE: Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival tickets are time-sensitive -- if you order NOW, you get a $20.00 discount and a big box of workshop materials for the 15 classes with a retail value of about $150.00. If you order after the regular rates kick in, you pay full price and still get the $150.00 box of workshop materials. But if you wait too long, and the workshop boxes are all gone, all you will get is a ticket to the event. And after that ... you can tell your grand kids you missed it.)
