Description
An approachable and accurate guide to Voodoo.
Ready to connect with the unseen world, the angels, and the spirits of those who have passed?
Voodoo For Dummies is a fascinating and easy-to-follow guide to Voodoo (also known as Vodou), a celebrated system of beliefs practised widely around the world. This book explains the history of this tradition, one that has been passed down orally through the generations, as well as the Iwa (spirits), myste (mysteries), anvizib (the invisibles), zanj (angels), and the spirits of those who have passed away, and how they’re interconnected.
You’ll learn all about the regional varieties of Voodoo and the different ritual practices that restore harmony and balance. You’ll also discover the different Voodoo holidays and celebrations, and the various kinds of healing, divination, and protection prayers that adherents use in their lives.
Inside:
- How Voodoo followers understand the difference between the visible and the unseen world
- The various kinds of prayers, songs, dances, and gestures that Voodoo practitioners use in their rituals
- How the history of Voodoo interacts with contemporary society to create a vibrant new way of practising the religion
Perfect for practising followers of Voodoo and beginner magic users considering Voodoo as their main occult education practice, Voodoo For Dummies is also a great read for everyone interested in learning more about this rich collection of traditions and overall religion.
