Printed: 565 pages, 6" x 9", perfect binding, black and white interior ink Description:This first definitive work on the predomiance of this powerful African deity throughout the ancient world has quickly become a "cult" classic. The evolution of Mami Wata in establishing, shaping and expanding the spiritual and sacerdotal foundation of world religion, reveals also the lost but glorious past of African women's spirituality. Hailed as the new "bible" on the history of African women, this comprehensive well-researched body of work will benefit academics, students, and all who are seeking to fill the missing void in world religious and cultural history. Totaling over 800 pages, it is reccomended that both heavily illustrated (Volumes I & II) be purchased as a set. Keywords:Listed in: |

"I find this book to be very interesting. I've never read an exquisite book like this one. I love it. It has great potential, and will be a great seller. Being a Hougan of 44 years in the Voudoun Religion, and Yoruba Chief and Priest of 15 years has offorded me the opportunity to read alot of material, but none that I've read can match what you have wrote. Continue the great work. You have my blessings and that of my spiritual forces and ancestors."
