-Descripcion Original:

A refreshed edition of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals-updated with a note from the author sharing the changes that have occurred in the 30 years since its original publication. A book of startling remembrances, revelations, directives, and imperatives, filled with the mysticism, wisdom, and common sense of the African religion of the Mother. It should be read with the same open-minded love with which it was written.-Alice Walker, author of The Color PurpleSince its original publication in 1985, Jambalaya has become a classic among Women’s Spirituality Educators, practitioners of traditional Africana religions, environmental activists, and cultural creatives. A mix of memoir, spiritual teachings, and practices from Afro-American traditions such as Ifa/Orisha, and New Orleans Voudou, it offers a fascinating introduction to the world of nature-based spirituality, Goddess worship, and rituals from the African diaspora. More relevant today than it was 36 years ago, the wisdom of Jambalaya reconnects us to the natural and spiritual world, and the centuries-old traditions of African ancestors, whose voices echo through time, guiding us and blending with our own. Review A book of startling remembrances, revelations, directives, and imperatives, filled with the mysticism, wisdom, and common sense of the African religion of the Mother. It should be read with the same open-minded love with which it was written. - Alice Walker, author of The Color PurpleJambalaya is a gift, open to all people, a gift of an ancient tradition, a gift of stories and celebrations, a gift of Teishs own history and voice, the voice of a strong, knowledgeable, and wise black woman. - Starhawk, author of The Spiral Dance and The Fifth Sacred ThingTeish reveals a wealth of new visions and ancient wisdom from a cultural heritage unknown to most readers. To a style of writing that is friendly and relaxed, Teish adds the spice of her wonderful sense of humor. This is a book that sharpens the intuitive sense in each of us and encourages us to that inner knowledge. - Merlin Stone, author of When God Was a Woman From the Back Cover A Marvelous Blendof Memoir, Folk Wisdom,and Afro-American Beliefs.Actress, storyteller, and priestess Luisah Teish dramatically re-creates centuries-old African-American traditions with music, memoir, and folk wisdom.

Chapter OneGrowing Up TipsySomehow I knew that there was much more going on than was apparent on the surface. My existence and that of the things going on around me caused me to question everything, always looking for the deeper meanings.I was born in the city of the Voudoun--New Orleans, Louisiana. My paternal grandmothers shotgun house stands at 1018 St. Ann Street. The Maison Blanche, the former home of Mam-zelle Marie La Veau, the voudou priestess for three generations, is recorded as being 1022 St. Ann Street. To this day my grandmothers house carries a sign that reads, The Marie La Veau Apartments.New Orleans-like the San Francisco Bay Area, where I now live-is a psychic seaport. The psychic energies of many people living and dead hovers over the city of New Orleans, possibly because of the water. Visitors to the city become tipsy after being there only a short time. Tipsy is the name given to that state of mind that precedes possession. (It is also used to mean slightly drunk.) I grew up tipsy.I spent many days and nights in the dark, mysterious house of my grandmother, Maw-Maw Catherine Mason Allen, while my mother and father were at work.Due to the limited perceptions of a
