Jambalaya: Personal Charms and Rituals for Natural Women

An updated version of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals is now available, with a new author's note reflecting on the changes that have taken place in the 30 years since its initial release. "A book filled with profound memories, revelations, guidance, and essential teachings, infused with the mysticism, wisdom, and practicality of the African Mother religion. It should be approached with the same open-hearted acceptance with which it was crafted."—Alice Walker, renowned author of The Color Purple.

Since its debut in 1985, Jambalaya has become a cherished classic among Women's Spirituality Educators, followers of traditional Africana faiths, environmental advocates, and cultural innovators. Blending elements of autobiography, spiritual insights, and practices derived from Afro-American traditions like Ifa/Orisha and New Orleans Voudou, it serves as a captivating entry point into the realm of nature-centered spirituality, Goddess reverence, and ceremonies rooted in the African diaspora. Even more pertinent today than it was over three decades ago, the wisdom within Jambalaya reunites us with the realms of natural and spiritual existence, as well as the enduring customs of our African forebears, whose enduring whispers guide us and harmonize with our own inner voices.
