A refreshed edition of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals—updated with a note from the author sharing the changes that have occurred in the 30 years since its original publication.
"A book of startling remembrances, revelations, directives, and imperatives, filled with the mysticism, wisdom, and common sense of the African religion of the Mother. It should be read with the same open-minded love with which it was written."—Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple
Since its original publication in 1985, Jambalaya has become a classic among Women’s Spirituality Educators, practitioners of traditional Africana religions, environmental activists, and cultural creatives. A mix of memoir, spiritual teachings, and practices from Afro-American traditions such as Ifa/Orisha, and New Orleans Voudou, it offers a fascinating introduction to the world of nature-based spirituality, Goddess worship, and rituals from the African diaspora. More relevant today than it was 36 years ago, the wisdom of Jambalaya reconnects us to the natural and spiritual world, and the centuries-old traditions of African ancestors, whose voices echo through time, guiding us and blending with our own.

Title: A wonderful book on all accounts!
Review: Saying that this bood is good or great does not do it justice. All I can say is that this book was so good - that when I put it down I wanted to go out and meet the author. Not a lot of books make me feel that way.The material is presented in an easy to read fashion, and she sprinkles in little tid bids of LA Voudou lore along with real life experiences that really makes everything very easy to understand. I have read so many books on voudou and many of them try to make the practice sound obscure and mysterious, but this author manages to bring it right to you - in a way that is easy to understand.Not only that, but this lady has had an amazing life! Even though she has a wide range of experience, she does not bill anything as the "absolute" of anything. She presents to you her point of view, based on her life experiences and nudges you in the right direction to find your own path.This book is not only informative but entertaining. If you want to know more about LA Voudou or if you are looking for a good overal spiritual book that enlightens you as well as keeps your interest - this is the book for you!

Title: Such A WEALTH of KNOWLEDGE At A Fair Price!
Review: This book covers it ALL. I especially enjoy the charts that are throughout the book. These are excellent quick reference points and they make for great ease of use. The chapters on Ancestor Reverence and Mother of the Spirit are just breathtaking. There are chants, rituals for feeding the spirit, altar tools to empower and align us, offerings, etc.! I ordered tabs, bookmarks and highlighters because I see that I'm about to make a gazillion notes all throughout my copy. This book makes a wonderful gift as well.

Title: Empowering!
Review: Very well written and informative! Definitely one of the best reads on the topic Iâve come across so far. She includes insight on the practice, personal poetry and prayers, and different works for money, love, success, etc. The chapter focusing on ancestor reverence and altar building were empowering and inspiring in and of itself. Itâs Definitely more of a continuous guide than just a quick read and Iâm Loving this addition to my to my little library.

Title: A Staple
Review: I love purchasing used books that have worn spines and soft pages. It pages along a history of the reader's prior.This book is a staple. It's beautifully written, it calls out something older within you, it reconnects you with history, and opens you to the pulse of African Diaspora faiths many of may not have been aware of. I could hear the voice of "She Who Whispers". I could feel myself dancing. See myself working roots. If you're magically inclined in any sense this book speaks a little louder than most. If you're interested in spirituality, this book will definitely open your eyes in a sense. Buy it. Read it. Research. Apply.

Title: Practical magic.
Review: Bought this book ages ago and, in a moment of generosity, donated it to a good cause. Have missed it ever since and was so glad to see it is still in print! Louisa Tiesh sets out spells for all types of magic and follows them up with, "Then get to work to manifest your desire." (Paraphrased) She also focuses on the positive. Can't stand your boss? Instead of wishing harm, create a spell to hope your boss gets a promotion or a lateral move away from your department. Love this book!

Review: I'm only a bit into this book, and I already love it. I have a very keen interest in other culture's spirituality and practices, and I'm embarrassed to admit that African Spirituality was not one I had thought of learning more about. Until my daughter suggested this book I had not given it one single solitary thought. I am so glad she did and so glad I purchased it. It speaks to my heart as a woman, and my soul as a human, and I am grateful to have it in my library.
