Publisher's summary

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.

Throughout Africa and beyond in the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the divine feminine was revered in the forms of 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.

Extremely thorough!

I absolutely loved this book. It was very thorough and is a fantastic resource book. I can see myself going back and reviewing certain sections again. I also thought the narrator did an excellent job as well!

If you’re looking for where to start..

Start HERE! This book really helped to give me a basic understanding of each entity, their history, and how you can honor or get to know them more in the present day. Definitely getting a paperback version so I can always jump back to the parts I need.

Learning in depth

I enjoyed this book mainly because the author pairs both goddess and history directly with practices and blessings know for that specific deity. So it’s really good at combining what Orishas do and need to be summoned or called soon for which blessings your looking for!

Very Informative

Very informative. I recommend getting a hard copy to be used as a reference because it’s a lot of information and actually being able to physically read it, take notes, highlight, bookmark etc would be very helpful.

Informative

I loved everything about this book. Not only is the author, really knowledgeable, but the person who read the book did so in a way that it kept my attention. This is probably a book that I will actually buy to have the physical book as reference.

Excellent book

The narrator is absolutely perfect. She kept me so enthralled in this book. I wish other narrators spoke like her so correct with no incorrect pronunciations. I can’t tell you the amount of book I have returned because I can’t even make it out of the introduction because the narrator butchers so many words.
Beautiful phenomenal book and narrator.
