Book Reviews of Rituals and Spells of Santeria
Book Review: an excellent xsource of information about Santeria
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good start for beginners. This book is a good start for beginners.Gonzalez- Wippler was the first author to present Santeria to an English-speaking audience, making fascinating correlations with the archetypes of the collective unconscious. Often controversial, she is still the most popular writer on Santeria and her books are excellent sources of information on the subject. Most of the criticism aimed at her books stem from the fact that when she began to write there was little info on Santeria and the priests of the religion misled her and other researchers on the subject. Now it is easy to write about it, but she was the first and that is something we should be thnakful for.
Summary of Rituals and Spells of Santeria
Santeria is an earth religion. That is, it is a magico-religious system that has its roots in nature and natural forces. Each Orisha or saint is identified with a force of nature and with a human interest or endeavor. Chango, for instance, is the god of fire, thunder, and lightening, but he is also the symbol of justice and protects his followers against his enemies. He also symbolizes passion and virility and is often invoked in works of seduction. Oshun, on the other hand, symbolizes river waters, love and marriage. She is essentially the archtype of joy and pleasure.Health, Mind & Body Books
