Orishas, Goddess, & Voodoo Queens by Lilith Dorsey

The divine feminine was worshipped across Africa and beyond in the diaspora produced by the slave trade in the shapes of goddesses such as the ancient Nana Buluku, water spirits such as Yemaya, Oshun, and Mami Wata, and the warrior Oya. The influence of these goddesses and spirit beings has spread across the Western world. New Orleans, for example, is the birthplace of Marie Laveau, who exploited her magical abilities to become the city's "Voodoo Queen." Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens teaches you how to appreciate and nurture the characteristics of these goddesses, allowing you to draw on their energies to enhance your own life. Aside from a guided tour of the important goddesses of African religious traditions, the book includes magical spells, rituals, potions, astrological correspondences, sacred gifts, and much more to aid you on your own transforming path. A 240-page paperback book measuring 6" x 8.8" in size.
