This book is a photo essay of the day to day religious practices & rituals of ancestor worship punctuated by ecstatic dancing to the pulsating rhythmic beat of drums w/ singing & chanting prayers, animal sacrifices & libation. It looks mysterious especially w/ associated snake worship, belief in healing powers of fetishes & magical protective properties of amulets & talisman. Having witnessed & documented these unusual practices, rituals & ceremonies it is understandable why Voodoo is very much misunderstood even though it has been practiced in Africa for centuries which continues to this day with out much change in the tradition & beliefs.
