“Gods always behave like the people who make them.”
🐎
This book follows Zora as she travels through Haiti and Jamaica learning the ins and out of the Voodoo religion and culture. So if you’re interested in the History, Culture, and Practice of Voodoo this is an informative read.
Zora explores and learns about race, colorism, medicine, politics, customs around burial, birth, and marriage as well as Voodoo saints. She also writes about zombies, and how they are “turned”.
🐎
Much of this read is actual encounters she experienced as well as conversations with important people that she met along the way.
Though I thought the book may have been structurdifferently - it was an interesting read to get an in depth insight on Voodoo itself as well as the life of those in Haiti and Jamaica.
