Way back in the old days before you flesh sacks invented pagers and cellular telephones, it was difficult for people on the go to get ahold of one another. And if you were at a large event such as a science fiction convention, forget about it. You were on your own.
But then came the Voodoo Board.
They started popping up at all the nerd conventions. It was simple, really. It was just a big board with the name of everybody attending the convention upon it. If you had a message for somebody and wanted to let them know your mommy was coming to pick you up at a certain time, you would take a pin and place it by their name. They’d stroll by the board, see they had a message, and they’d move to an alphabetical file and find the note. Privacy be damned!
It was called the Voodoo board because of the pins. This book is the same thing. It’s called a book of Voodoo because it’s named after the message board. Not because it can secretly be used for any sort of nefarious purpose which will become clear later, so just get that out of your head this instant, mister.
