"Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions (Paperback) does an excellent job of teaching us about our traditional beliefs and spiritual practices without the demonization and societal stigma we're used to. It's insightful, eucational, and groundbreaking."

An inspiring exploration of the goddesses of the West African spiritual traditions and their role in shaping Yoruba (Ifa), Santeria, Haitian Vodoun, and New Orleans Voodoo.
 
Around the globe, the African diaspora has always revered the Divine Feminine. Despite being segmented by the slave trde, women of African decent continued (and still continue) to honor goddesses like the ancient Nana Buluku, water spirits like Yemaya, Oshun, and Mami Wata, and the warrior Oya. The power of these goddesses and spirit beings has taken root in the West. New Orleans, for example, is the home of Marie Laveau, who used her magical powers to become the “Voodoo Queen” of New Orleans.
 
Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens shows you how to celebrate and cultivate the traits of these goddesses, drawing upon their strengths to empower your own life. In addition to offering a guided tour of the key goddesses of the African religious traditions, the book offers magical spells, rituals, potions, astrological correspondences, sacred offerings, and much more to help guide you on your own transformational journey.
