Description
Secrets of Voodoo explores the origins and development of this complex religion in Haiti and the Americas, tracing its roots back to ancient Africa. The book provides an in-depth look at the gods or loas, symbols, rituals, ceremonial calendar, and magical rites of Voodoo. Milo Rigaud's work offers a clear account of Voodoo's system of belief, which shares connections with other world religions. He delves into the esoteric meaning behind Voodoo's outward manifestations, often misunderstood by outsiders. The book is translated from French and features drawings and photographs by Odette Mennesson-Rigaud. Rigaud's expertise in Voodoo stems from his life-long study of the tradition, which he conducted in Haiti and France. His involvement with Voodoo played a significant role in his work on Haitian independence.
