Nan Domi: An Initiate's Journey into Haitian Voudou

Mimerose Beaubrun

4.9/5 (32588 ratings)

Description:Like all the great religions Voudou has an external, public practice of rituals and ceremonies—and also an internal, mystical dimension. Before Nan Domi, works about Voudou have concentrated on the spectacular outward manifestations of Voudou observance—hypnotic drumming and chanting, frenetic dancing, fits of spirit possession. But practically all reports on Voudou are outsider accounts, which means that they are stopped at the threshold. Mimerose Beaubrun, educated as an anthropologist, set out to write another such work, but in the process she met the woman who would become her ultimate teacher and guide to the religion’s internal mysteries: Tante Tansia, whose knowledge, wisdom and spiritual power govern the text of Nan Domi.Nan Domi is the only account of Voudou’s private, mystical, interior practice that has been offered to the public so far. Its content stands in the same relation to ceremonial Voudou as Zen to conventional Buddhism, Sufism to conventional Islam, the practice of the desert saints to conventional Christianity. Mimerose Beaubrun has been a student of Voudou for half of her life, but she is also an adept, and in this uniquely valuable work, she divests herself of all scholarly apparatus to speak from Voudou’s purest heart.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
