This review is from: Ve-Ve Diagrammes Rituels du Voudou : Ritual Voodoo Diagrams : Blasones de los Vodu - Trilingual ed. French English Spanish (French and English Edition) (Paperback)

This book, I was waiting so long to get it. It contains nearly 300 different veves. Even some not well known ones. In the brief introduction section its try to explain the parts of the veves (symbols what a veve contain). Everybody should have a copy, who wants to dig himself deep into the world of the Lwa.

This review is from: Ve-Ve Diagrammes Rituels du Voudou : Ritual Voodoo Diagrams : Blasones de los Vodu - Trilingual ed. French English Spanish (French and English Edition) (Paperback)

I being a bit of a symboligist and I'm always looking for books on the subject. And if you have the same interest and are looking for a book on Voudou with almost every Ve-Ve you'll ever want. This is the book for you. Rigaud explains all the different parts of a Ve-Ve and their meaning. This book is also trilingual. Meaning it's in English, French and Spanish. And is not a book for amateurs who's only exposure to Voudou is what they've seen in movies. Definitely a mystic esoteric look at the subject
