"Diving into Swamp Sorcery, I found myself once again experiencing that familiar mix of shock, excitement, and deep pride that has followed each of Dylan's books, but this time nothing quite prepared me for the world he creates here. With his signature charm and storytelling, he pulls the reader straight into the swamp, a place that felt surprisingly familiar to me and echoed my own memories of growing up in Puerto Rico and Miami surrounded by lakes, wildlife, and even the occasional alligator.He engages with Afro-Cuban beliefs and other protected spiritual practices with both respect and depth, creating a work that feels expansive, thrilling, and transportive. I would wholeheartedly recommend Swamp Sorcery to anyone even slightly curious about the hidden worlds that exist just beyond everyday life because once you step in, it feels incredible." --Steven Bauer, actor, Scarface, Breaking Bad "Swamp Sorceryis my first journey into this genre, and yet Mystic Dylan writes with the superfluous ease reminiscent of a Pat Conroy (The Prince of Tides, The Great Santini), taking the reader into the beauty and mystery of the swamps and wetlands and the secrets held there. Whether you're a first-timer like me or you've read Mystic Dylan before, get ready for the magic." --Victor Rivas Rivers, actor and author of A Private Family Matter "Swamp Sorceryis one of the most captivating books that I have ever encountered on the topic of occult practices. Through his unique writing style, Mystic Dylan strategically guides us on a magical and enchanting journey into the mysterious swamps and bayous, while teaching us the true art of swamp witch magic.


Throughout this enthralling journey, Mystic Dylan introduces us to the historical Native Americans, to the hardships endured by slaves, and even to the escapades of pirates in order to provide us with an exciting, yet thorough, appreciation of how swamp magic was birthed. Swamp Sorceryis a groundbreaking masterwork of brilliance that will set the standard for future research into this very topic!" --Miss Aida, Conjure Woman and author of Traditional Hoodoo & Conjure "Lowland waters hold a very special place in North American folk practices, and this book viscerally captures the untamed magic of the swamp. Mystic Dylan has given us a rich array of possibilities to approach and befriend the spirits of the murky waters without us necessarily having to risk the danger of its fanged occupants. The workings outlined in this book, compiled not only from the author's personal experience but from a century of authentic source material, will open you up to try your hand at swamp sorcery--even if you live far, far away from the bayou." --Stacey Williams-Ng, The Southern Gothic Oracle "Mystic Dylan takes you aboard a stealthy canoe into the hidden waters where danger, mysteries, and magic lurk to introduce us to the folk magic of the Louisiana swamp, the Mississippi Delta, and the Florida everglades. This is country magic at its heart--muddy waters, Spanish moss, snake skins, and gator heads used for healing, divination, justice, and even curses, with practical exercises and spells designed to make real magic in your everyday life.This book ignores the armchair sorcery of occult theory and guides you to get down, dirty, and dangerous in one of nature's most secret and magical places." --Christian Day, author, The Witches' Book of the Dead(Warlock Press, 2021).
