Miss Lettie's Book of Rootwork

Nicolette Marlowe

Rooted in the folk magic traditions of the American South and rich with ancestral memory, Miss Lettie's Book of Rootwork is a sacred companion to the novel Bones and Blessings: Whispers from St. Marlow. Written in the voice of Miss Lettie-a conjure woman, dream interpreter, and keeper of the old ways-this book is both a grimoire and a love letter to Black Southern spirituality.

Within its pages, readers will find a living archive of Hoodoo wisdom: ancestral prayers, dream symbols, bone signs, spells, charms, family stories, sacred songs, protective rituals, weather omens, and ways to speak with spirits. Organized as both a guide and a devotional, the book weaves practical instruction with poetic storytelling, allowing the reader to feel as though Miss Lettie herself is whispering teachings into their ear.

This is a book meant to be used-annotated, dog-eared, left open on an altar or bedside table. It's a tool for spiritual seekers, rootworkers, and readers drawn to ancestral healing and cultural reclamation. From moon phase rituals to cloud readings, from talismans to tea recipes, from warnings to blessings-each entry invites the reader to remember what lives in their blood and bones.

About the Author

Marlowe, Nicolette: -

Nicolette Marlowe is a writer of Southern Gothic fiction steeped in ancestral magic, forgotten hymns, and the power of women who walk between worlds. Her stories explore themes of hoodoo, grief, and the legacy we carry in our bones.

Originally drawn to folklore and ghost stories passed down through generations, Nicolette crafts tales that blur the line between the living and the dead. Her debut novel, Bones and Blessings: Whispers in St. Marlow, is her debut novel and the first in a series exploring spiritual inheritance and the sacred work of remembering.

When she's not writing, you'll find her in an herb garden, reading old spellbooks, or wandering places where stories tend to linger.
