"I highly recommend Voodoo and African Traditional Religion to anyone who wishes to learn the sacred stories and practices associated with the religions of our Ancestors."
-Denise Alvarado, author of The Magic of Marie Laveau and Witch Queens, Voodoo Spirits, and Hoodoo Saints: A Guide to Magical New Orleans
"Lilith Dorsey incorporates history, instruction, and practical guidance for anyone wishing to learn more about African and African American religions and magic ... an excellent resource that addresses the current turn to ancient spiritual wisdom to confront some of our most pressing societal needs."
-Yvonne Chireau, Professor of Religion at Swarthmore College and author of Black Magic: Religion and the African American Conjuring Tradition
"Often misunderstood and ostracized, the religions of the African diaspora are examples of tolerance, problem-solving, peace, and cooperation between different cultures, nations, and beliefs. A well-known, respected Priestess, Lilith Dorsey offers a simple but deep approach for the reader on the fastest growing underground religions of our times."
-Manuel Congo, Global Ethnologist and author of The Lucumi Tarot
"Lilith writes knowledgeably from the perspective of both a long-term scholar and from lived experience as a priestess. It is always refreshing to discover a new resource that replaces misconceptions about these much-maligned and sensationalized religions with respectful information focused on the beautiful, life-affirming qualities of spiritual practices that have helped people find hope, healing, and survival."
-Manbo Asogwe Sallie Ann Glassman, co-creator of The New Orleans Voodoo Tarot, author of Vodou Visions, co-founder of The New Orleans Healing Center
"An enlightening and immersive guide full of helpful information for both beginners and longtime practitioners. Lilith does a great job of presenting a wide variety of intriguing facts and experiences that are sure to capture the interest of any soul that is seeking on their spiritual journey."
-Fatima Mbodj, author of the New Orleans Oracle Deck and proprietor of Path of Awakenings in New Orleans, Louisiana
"In the new edition of this seminal work, Lilith Dorsey's lens is much more provocative, feminist, and revolutionary. It retains the recipe book innocence of the original but is now closer to the Anarchist Cookbook than Betty Crocker."
-Baba Teddy, author of Absinthe, Alewives and Alchemy, Oso of Iyami Osoronga, BabaL'awo Osun I'L'ode, Oluwo of Odu/Ifa, and Konchante of Gineh Yoruba VoDou
"Lilith Dorsey remains one of the few black women to have become a prolific presenter across North America in both African Spiritual and Pagan communities as well as a best-selling author-a unique achievement for any person, and so Lilith truly stands alone. This truly sacred work is an honor to all those who came before who maintained and preserved the religions of the Diaspora."
-Witchdoctor Utu, founder of the Dragon Ritual Drummers and author of Conjuring Harriet "Mama Moses" Tubman and the Spirits of the Underground Railroad
"This book is like an immersion course in the rich history, culture, and spiritual offerings of traditional African religions. Lilith has not only crafted an informative and much-needed expert resource, dispelling misinformation and stigma around these sacred practices, they have also created a down-to-earth guidebook to empower readers in walking their own spiritual journey."
-Mecca Woods, Astrologer and author of Astrology for Happiness and Success
