Jambalaya

The Natural Woman's Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals

By: Luisah Teish

Narrated by: Luisah Teish

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 was a very vivid walk in the life of Luisah that I enjoyed immensely
