Book Description
This book could be considered a revealing primer for Voodoo, taught by example. Voodoo: reality or myth? Tyrone is faced with this question repeatedly. Multiple seductions and betrayal lead him into becoming a willing participant in a deadly game. His educated mind takes an analytical approach to all that is happening to him, but in this case, two plus two never add up to four; they always add up to the Nth (unknown) number. This text is not written about Tyrone, but looking through Tyrone's eyes and thinking with his mind, no matter what alterations his thinking may undergo. Circumstances that seem to be one thing often turn out to be another. Due to the extraordinary state of affairs surrounding him, everything in his life must be analyzed, sorted, and filtered through his mind to try to find out the real truth, which for him is not always apparent.

Creole Religions of the Caribbean
Author: Lizabeth Paravisini-GebertPublisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814762573
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
A comprehensive introduction to the syncretic religions developed in the Caribbean region Creolization—the coming together of diverse beliefs and practices to form new beliefs and practices—is one of the most significant phenomena in Caribbean religious history. Brought together in the crucible of the sugar plantation, Caribbean peoples drew on the variants of Christianity brought by European colonizers, as well as on African religious and healing traditions and the remnants of Amerindian practices, to fashion new systems of belief. Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive introduction to the syncretic religions that have developed in the region. From Vodou, Santería, Regla de Palo, the Abakuá Secret Society, and Obeah to Quimbois and Espiritismo, the volume traces the historical–cultural origins of the major Creole religions, as well as the newer traditions such as Pocomania and Rastafarianism. This second edition updates the scholarship on the religions themselves and also expands the regional considerations of the Diaspora to the U. S. Latino community who are influenced by Creole spiritual practices. Fernández Olmos and Paravisini–Gebert also take into account the increased significance of material culture—art, music, literature—and healing practices influenced by Creole religions.
