Harold Roth is a leading authority on plant/herbal magic. His new book, The Witching Herbs, is an in-depth exploration of thirteen essential plants and herbs most closely associated with witchcraft-thirteen because it's the witching number and reflects the thirteen months of the lunar calendar.

In the Caribbean, however, Voodoo is spelled Vodou and is practiced as an African Traditional Religion (ATR).
