Kurzbeschreibung
Deeply rooted in Haiti's culture and held sacred by millions, Haitian Vodou is a joyous and profound ancestral practice descended from the Vodu priesthood of West Africa. This little-understood belief system is among the truest religions of the Americas - yet its essence has remained a mystery to outsiders. Written by a practitioner of the highest initiatory rank, "Haitian Vodou" is the only book that offers a respectful, first-hand overview of the centuries-old indigenous tradition. From Haiti's culture and history to the sacred beliefs, ceremonies, rituals, and practices grounded in ancestral communion, readers will get a rare look inside "Haitian Vodou". This title also explores: its relationship to other African diasporic traditions in the West; common misconceptions; Vodou magic and initiations; how millions survived slavery, betrayal, and revolution; and, the twenty-one nations of the Lwa, the spirits of Haitian Vodou.

Amazing and a must have!
14. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book, authored by Mambo T, as she is affectionately known, is an amazing introduction to Haitian Vodou. The much reviled and misunderstood spiritual practice is in actuality a beautiful and deeply moving tradition. Mambo Chita Tann conveys the essence of Haitian Vodou the way a person not able to live in Haiti, or not familiar with it's culture, can understand. She also stresses how important the community, family, and ancestors are to Vodou.
The book is broken down into three parts: Part One What is Haitian Vodou? Part Two Lezanj: Meet the Twenty-One Nations of the Lwa and Part Three Seremoni: Haitian Vodou Ceremonies and Rites of Passage. The chapters clearly present the information and are an indispenible resource for the beginner, as well as a refresher for the more experienced practitioner. It will help you on your path if you choose to become a Vodouisant, or if not, give a better understanding of how it all works. Additionally the Appendix provides a valuable guide for further research and study. One can only pray Mambo T will write a follow up book and delve deeper into Haitian Vodou.
As a member of Sosyete Fos Fe Yo We, I have been able to receive invaluable teaching from Mambo Chita Tann firsthand. She is an experienced and incredibly learned woman and knows her stuff! I am ever grateful for all her hard work the last year, and for listening to her kids and elders who told her she really is the best person to get this introduction out there.
Ayibobo!

If you are interested in the Real Vodou, don't miss this book.

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a great introduction to Vodou as practiced in Haiti. Mambo explains very clearly the structure of Vodou in Haiti and how to proceed to begin to practice this religion of serving the Lwa. Wonderful information about many of the major Lwa helps one understand them and their importance. Initiation is explained in a way that is very clear and one is shown the necessity of joining a societe in order to really learn how to serve the Lwa. Really good advice about how to avoid the pitfall of falling into the hands of charlatans and how to recognize a true Mambo or Houngan. All in all, this book is a MUST for anyone thinking about entering the path of Vodou as practiced in Haiti.

An Excellent Resource
19. Februar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
In Haitian Voudou, Mambo Chita Tann presents a clear, easily umderstood primer on what is sadly often one of the world's most misunderstood religions. She does an excellent job of not only dispelling some myths about vodou, but providing an historical and anthropological context for Haiti's spiritual development.
The book proceeds from a history of Haiti to a primer on the spirits and spiritual practices itself, all written carefully and with authority. If there is one minor failing here it is that this section of the work is perhaps too short, but what is here (and that said, there is still a goodly amount) is as I have said before, vey well written and presented so as not too overwhelm.
In the end, Mambo Chita Tann writes openly and with familiarity about a topic many prople do not understand. This book will more than help in that regard.
