Santeria is an earth religion. That is, it is a magico-religious system that has its roots in nature and natural forces. Each Orisha or saint is identified with a force of nature and with a human... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a good book on ebbo for Orisha, offerings, and workings calling upon Orisha. The title is slightly misleading as "spells" are only a small part of the book, which I imagine the author included to make the book more appealing on the market. A lot of people will tell you that Wippler's books are full of nonsense, but there is always some truth to be found. Buy this book if you want some more information on Orisha, and ebbo offered to them. Donot buy this book if you are looking for a run of the mill spellbook found on most bookstore shelves.

This is a good start for beginners. This book is a good start for beginners.Gonzalez- Wippler was the first author to present Santeria to an English-speaking audience, making fascinating correlations with the archetypes of the collective unconscious. Often controversial, she is still the most popular writer on Santeria and her books are excellent sources of information on the subject. Most of the criticism aimed at her books stem from the fact that when she began to write there was little info on Santeria and the priests of the religion misled her and other researchers on the subject. Now it is easy to write about it, but she was the first and that is something we should be thnakful for.
