Super info without Hollywood hype
Beautiful color photography encompassing rites, sigils and practitioners. Documentation and historical facts interwoven with colorful descriptions of all of the above and more.

A Wealth of Information
I did not know what to expect when I purchased this book. I needed a serious reference book to research Voodoo (or as I call it Vodou) in "my country" and I found it. This is a very smart and thoroughly researched and documented book that I highly recommend to anyone who has an intellectual curiosity of the Haitian Vodou culture.

This book was complete and concise in its picture of Haiti.
If you want to know about the Voodoo religion, this book has a very clear summary of this religion. It also writes about the history of Haiti in a very clean and concise manner. And seems very true. It's not slanted or biased in any way. There are pictures of interest also. This book kept me involved in knowing Haiti's history page after page.
