About this listen

A refreshed edition of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals - updated with a note from the author sharing the changes that have occurred in the 30 years since its original publication.

"A book of startling remembrances, revelations, directives, and imperatives, filled with the mysticism, wisdom, and common sense of the African religion of the Mother. It should be read with the same open-minded love with which it was written." (Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple)

Since its original publication in 1985, Jambalaya has become a classic among women’s spirituality educators, practitioners of traditional Africana religions, environmental activists, and cultural creatives. A mix of memoir, spiritual teachings, and practices from Afro American traditions such as Ifa/Orisha, and New Orleans Voudou, it offers a fascinating introduction to the world of nature-based spirituality, goddess worship, and rituals from the African diaspora. More relevant today than it was 36 years ago, the wisdom of Jambalaya reconnects us to the natural and spiritual world, and the centuries-old traditions of African ancestors, whose voices echo through time, guiding us and blending with our own.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It’s always refreshing to have the author as the reader. It was extra special due to the nature and relevance of this topic. Much gratitude for the call that was answered for this work.

Just what I needed on my journey

I love the blend and intersection of the motherland, diasporal African religions and practices. The explanation was relevant for those new to spiritual practices, and affirming for the vets. Luisah’s voice is rich and makes the reading feel authentic and connected to the meanings.

A true jambalaya of culture and spiritual practices.

This was a great book. I learned a lot of dos and don, but most importantly I learned a little history of New Orleans. Great job!
