Publisher's Summary
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.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

This book is amazing!
When she first started reading I was very interested immediately. She tells all about her childhood in Louisiana which was intriguing to me because I’m from Harlem,but I know I have roots in the south. She was theatrical in her tone of voice and uses sarcasm a lot. This book has a lot of African culture references that the reader may want to jot down (I know I did!) because it is so neat. She will teach you all about how to use your female magic in a positive way, how to keep your family and friends, and how to pray for yourself and others. She takes her time with the reader but is very straightforward and gets to the point. Overall, I gave this book a 5. It is a Must listen to for all races,really. 🎧

Amazing Experience
This was such a good book. I had the physical copy, but hearing this in her voice is a whole different experience. I learned so much and listened as I travelled to ancestral lands. I’m so grateful for this book and for her.
