African American Magick : A Modern Grimoire for the Natural Home
INFORMATION
The changing of the seasons can feel magical―greens changing to browns and golds, snow melting to show fresh buds. We all recognize these telltale signs, but few of us are aware of the powerful impact each season has on our spiritual lives. In African American Magick, Stephanie Rose Bird infuses ancient techniques, rituals, and methods from around the world to use each season’s inherent energies to supplement body, mind, and soul.
Designed to further spiritual practices by learning from neighboring cultures, this book provides readers with useful ideas unrestricted by geographic borders, ethnicity, religion, or magical path. Included are recipes and concepts from the Caribbean, African American soul food, Buddhist meditation practices, sacred Hindu rites, Old European traditions, Australian Aboriginal dreaming lessons, and Native American wisdom.
