"Written by an initiate of Haitian Vodou, this book goes beyond the stereotypes to reveal Vodou as a powerful shamanic tradition. The author explains why these ancient healing practices are important for the modern world and how anyone can use them as a safe and effective path of spiritual healing and personal development. He also provides practical exercises for protecting the spiritual self by empowering the soul, for contacting the spirit world and communicating with its inhabitants, and more."
