Voodoo. That one word is enough to conjure up exotic, bewitching zombies shuffling through a graveyard at night; pins stuck in crudely fashioned dolls as an enemy many miles away experiences agonizing pains. But none of these images paints a realistic portrayal of Voodoo. In this book Shannon Turlington explores the many aspects of Voodoo, from its African roots to details about rituals, participants and the Voodoo pantheon. The reader is also provided with such information as how and where to see a Voodoo ritual, how to make a Voodoo altar in their own home and what to expect at an initiation ceremony.
