Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions | Lilith Dorsey

Mehso-so

3/5⭐ Each chapter describes some background of a figure, includes rituals & recipes, & highlights how contemporary artists are using these figures in their work. The info is interesting for a very intro level, w/ further readings listed & glossaries but no in-text citations.

I expected an author who's been active in the Pagan/religious community for decades to know that Lilith is not a goddess & that she & smudging are part of closed practices.

Still reading in between other books. I figured while sitting at a car event, outdoors in a comfy chair. Interesting read, really enjoying it it. ❤️ there are recipes and folk lore in this book.

Weekend read — my kiddo is getting a haircut and I thought I would read and wait. I was sent this book by a friend and can‘t wait to dive in and learn. Review of the book to come. I might not finish it in a weekend. Lol let‘s see how it goes.
