5.0 out of 5 stars Cabrera is the best!, December 29, 1999
If your looking for a book on the afro-cuban religions, this is possibly the best one written. Cuban anthropologist Lydia Cabrera has written one of the best books on the subject. She discusses the myths, rituals and history of the religions derived from the congo and from the yoruba people who were brought as slaves into Cuba. In addition, Cabrera's text has a mamomth dictionary of various herbs, fruits, and vegetables, explaining who their spiritual owner is in addition to what the item can be used for. Cabrera also discusses the secret society of the Nanigos. It's a shame that this text has yet to be translated into English as it deserves to have a wider audience. Nonetheless, if you can read in spanish and are interested in this subject, this is definately a book to buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Un clsico de la literatura cubana, April 16, 2006
Para quien quiera adentrarse dentro del mundo m?gico de la santer?a no hay nada mejor como leerse este libro. Es de aquellas obras que te atrapan desde las primeras p?ginas y no te dejan libre hasta despu?s de muchas d?cadas de lectura.
Quien quiera saber c?mo funciona la santer?a en Cuba deber? leerse este libro. No deja de ser actual. La santer?a est? hecha de sincretismos y Lydia Cabrera nos explica c?mo funciona este proceso.
