Jambalaya: The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals

This refreshed edition of Jambalaya includes a note from author Luisah Teish reflecting on changes over the 30 years since its original 1985 publication. Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, describes it as "a book of startling remembrances, revelations, directives, and imperatives, filled with the mysticism, wisdom, and common sense of the African religion of the Mother." Since its original publication, Jambalaya has become a classic among Women's Spirituality Educators, practitioners of traditional Africana religions, environmental activists, and cultural creatives. The book combines memoir, spiritual teachings, and practices from Afro-American traditions including Ifa/Orisha and New Orleans Voudou. It provides an introduction to nature-based spirituality, Goddess worship, and rituals from the African diaspora. The book reconnects readers to the natural and spiritual world and the centuries-old traditions of African ancestors, offering wisdom drawn from the African diaspora.
