Charms and Rituals to Empower Your Life.

Voodoo, or Vodou as it is known by its followers, is a religion of sacred objects and rituals intended to empower life and bring good fortune to those who practise it. Employing deeply spiritual practices and visually dazzling ceremonies, Voodoo evokes spirits that its believers recognise as part of nature. This engrossing account of Voodoo traces its origins in Africa to its full development in the West Indies island of Haiti. You'll also read about the ways Voodoo can enrich your life in terms of love, luck and prosperity.

'The Book Of Voodoo' covers all important aspects of its intriguing subject, and brings many Voodoo spirits fully alive with vivid, often humorous descriptions. For example:
- Ezili Danto is a protective matriarchal spirit, despite the fact that she drinks rum and smokes Camel cigarettes
- Ogou, a warrior spirit related to the Catholic St Jacques, is credited with having helped the Haitian slaves win their independence
- Papa Zaka, the patron of agriculture, wears a peasant's straw hat and a denim suit, and is the spirit of bountiful harvests

You'll learn about Voodoo altars and ways to invoke the spirits, and discover important secrets of the sacred baths, lamps, objects and rituals of Voodoo, as well as Voodoo methods of divination. This is a fascinating excursion into an exotic religion, with detailed descriptions of Voodoo ceremonies and beliefs.
