5.0 out of 5 stars
A Great Classic,
By Samuel "Loves Brazil" (Norfolk VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The City of Women (Paperback)
This is one of the great classics of anthropology and Latin American studies. Largely ignored during the rush to make anthropology a science of culture, this is a description of Candomble and the women who led the spiritual life of Bahia in the thirties. Good to see that it is now available in this format.

Brillian Book on Female Candomble Religion, from a male,
By El Brujo "Brujo Hechisero" (Lowell, Ma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The City of Women (Paperback)
If you are looking for an excellent book on the Candomble Orixa Worship of Brazil, then this is the classic. The book as the title states is of the power of the Brazilian Priestesses of the orixas, also known as orisha. Mai De Santos, or Priestesses of Orixas are as powerful, and as highly respected as the Babalawos of the Ifa and Babalorichas of Lucumi. I highly recomend this to all Voodoo Mambos, Santeria Santeras, and all Woman of the world, who believe in the power of Woman. From a man's point of view this is a brilliant and inspiring work, and should be read buy all who honor the Ancient African Gods.

The book is in great condition! The pages have no writing or highlighting. There are also no obvious signs of use. This was a great buy!
