| This book was brilliant. Books like this are little gems in the folklore and pagan world. The author's astute attention to details and finding lesser known facts in his research filled this book with lots of hidden knowledge-- things not commonly or ...more | |

I loved this book so much! Part memoir of Teish's life, part book of Voudou ritual plus African folk wisdom. Jambalaya by Luisah Teish is a powerful and deeply resonant work that weaves together spirituality, culture, and lived experience with both au ...more |

| This is one of my favourite movies and I am so glad this book is in existence. In a scrapbook styled narrative, each page is full of whimsy and quirks showcasing frames and story line of the movie. I loved that they didn't make an English translation ...more | |

| The Magic of Marie Laveau by Denise Alvarado is a rich and immersive exploration of one of the most mythologised figures within Black American spiritual traditions. What stands out most is the author’s position as both scholar and practitioner, weavi ...more | |

Melanie Warren has done a great job gathering a wide range of Lancashire’s legends into one place, making this an incredibly useful reference for anyone mapping out the county's strange history. However, the book ultimately feels a bit thin. While the ...more |

My maternal grandmother was Irish from Kilkenny and I wanted to learn a bit more about my heritage and the folklore that comes with it. This is a nice intro although the author repeats himself often, I found myself getting irritated constantly readin ...more |

I have read Amy Jeffs two previous books 'Storyland' and 'Wild' and this one completes the set. Beautifully written and atmospheric book that brings the legends of Britain’s early saints vividly to life and gives the reader a glimpse of the social, cu ...more |

Just not for me, its not my sense of humour. People suggest its like Monty Python-- I think I've seen one Monty Python comedy and hated it. To each their own. To me it reads like a teenager wrote it and I think it would have been better as a screenpla ...more |

“I call on your many names!
Inanna!
Asherah!
Ishtar!
Astarte!
Isis!
Aphrodite!
Great lady of the stars, sea and soil!!
From the Kopet Mountains to the Caspian Sea,
From my heart to the vault of the skies,
I am devoted to you in all languages and in all hearts,
And in all your names.
in all the rain soaked earth and in all the stars.
Asherah I cherish you,
My unbridled Queen of queens,
I bow to you,
I am bound to you,
Oh Sacred heart,
Great goddess of love and hate,
Of life and death, of passion and peace,
Of all the holy contradictions,
maiden of the ascension and descension,
of the looping serpent’s Ouroboros,
Guide me through my darkness,
So I may see the light.
So that I may rise from the fall,
With the wings of the dawn,
of your everlasting Arammu
Of your all-embracing Ahavah!
Excerpt from “Asherah: High Queen of Queens” - Featured in Asherah: Roots of the Mother Tree.”

“And so my advice to you is this:
Explore the wilderness in your heart.
Love vastly.
Daydream constantly.
Make love genuinely.
Dance regularly.
Breathe deeply.
Be nonsensical.
Unravel your shining soul.
And enjoy every moment.”
