AN ACT OF COURAGE, PASSION & COMPLETA ENTREGA.
THIS IS NOT JUST A BOOK. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE AUTHOR'S LIFE. THE INNOCENCE AND ACCEPTANCE DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST CHAPTER ALONG WITH THE STRUGLE AND COURAGE OF THE CHAPTER "DENUBIO" SHOWS THAT MIGENE GONZALEZ-WIPPLER IS NOT ONLY AN ELOQUENT WRITER, BUT ALSO A TRUE DIVINE INDIVIDUAL; "UN SER DE LUZ". I HOPE EVERYONE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS ABLE TO RECOGNIZE HER IMMENSE SACRIFICE TO HELP ALL OF US. ONLY BY READING THIS BOOK YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REALIZE WHAT A WONDERFUL BEING SHE IS. QUIERO QUE EL MUNDO ENTERO RECONOZCA EL IMMENSO SACRIFICIO DE LA AUTORA. SOLO LEYENDO ESTE LIBRO SE PODRAN DAR CUENTA DE EL GRAN AMOR QUE ELLA LE TIENE A LA HUMANIDAD.

Excelente libro sin caer en un manual de Ceremonias.
No se puede evitar el sentimiento de admiración hacia los orishas después de leer este libro. Es una descripción de los beneficios encontrados por los que se involucran con la religión sin entrar en mucho detalle en las ceremonias.

La mirada a un mundo fascinante
Ya sea que lo lea como una historia de ciencia ficción (novela) o como una entrada al mundo de lo esotérico encontramos los relatos muy amenos. Se encuentra cronológicamente estructurado y bien redactados. Es observar las prácticas de lo que se encontraba hasta hoy oculto, en la mirada inquisitiva de una mujer profesional. El lector debe comprender que no se comparte profundidas de conocimiento sino; como bien se títula el libro sus experiencias.

GIFT FROM GOD - REGALO DE DIOS
THIS BOOK IS A WONDERFUL GIFT FROM HEAVEN. IT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE POWER WITHIN OUR SOULS, AND HOW TO USE IT FOR OUR DAY TO DAY LIFE. LA AUTORA NO SOLO AYUDA A RESOLVER PROBLEMAS SINO QUE TAMBIEN EXPLICA EL ORIGEN DE ESE GRAN PODER LLAMADO "MAGIA" PRECIOSO LIBRO. ADEMAS DE TENER UN CONTENIDO TAN DIVINO... EL FORRO DE EL LIBRO SE SIENTE COMO TERCIOPELO.

Greatly Efficient in Spiritual Way!!
This Book is one of the best books I've ever read before about spirituality and the great meanings it has in our life, the introduction teaches you so much more behind the magic of all things....but the spirit it has you will feel! I've only had this book for 3 days and it is GREAT, many testimonials from people and letters they have wrote to Migene Gonzalez Wippler, and the answer to better themselves in situations that have solved each and every issue using potions and magic with rituals and recipes...it is astronomically fantastic!! "May the magic be with you in everything that surounds you" Joanne

TRANSPORTADOR
THIS BOOK TAKES YOU TO A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE. IT TAKES CARE OF ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT THE SUBJECT OF PHYSICAL DEATH. IT ALLOWS YOU TO LOVE EXISTENCE AND ACCEPT LIFE AS A NEVER ENDING JOURNEY. ES UN LIBRO QUE TE LLEVA POR TODO EL COSMOS. AL LEERLO SENTIRAN COMO SI ESTUVIERAN FLOTANDO EN EL UNIVERSO. BELLISIMA OBRA. FELICITACIONES A LA AUTORA Y ESPERO QUE ALGUN DIA NIRVANA TENGA SUCURSALES EN TODO EL MUNDO. SONRISAS........ PAOLA... DE TALLAHASSEE.

This is a sensitive treatment about life after death.
This book is a sensitive and enlightening treatment on the subject of life after death. It is divided in two parts. The first deals with scientific and spiritual evidence that supports the view that the individual consciousness survives the trauma of death.I was impressed by the work being done in Princeton and by the Intercommunication evidence, of people who have died and are trying to contact the material world. The second part was the most impacting to me as a narrative of a spirit called Kirkudian who tells his various incarnations, that include some very famous personalities. It was truly fascinating and very moving. The book is written in Spanish and I understand there is an English version that I would like to read as well. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in this fascinating subject.

Bittersweet
This is one of the dearest books in my collection.

The author unveils for us the strange and beautiful rituals of the religion known as Santeria, which is derived from the syncretism of Roman Catholicism, early forced on the Yoruba who were imported to Puerto Rico as colonial slaves, with their own African nature religion. Gonzalez-Wippler tells of her exposure to this religion while in the care of her nanny, Maria, a Yoruba descendant and devout follower of the faith.

The reader is privileged to read of how Maria gave her little ward the first initiation of children in Santeria on her fifth birthday, first taking her to church to say a rosary before the Mother Mary, then taking her to a secluded cove, anointing her lips with sugarcane syrup, and leading her naked into the ocean waves, chanting an invocation to Yemaya, whose symbol is the seven seas, and who is the mother of all things living. Maria explains to the child that Yemaya wears another face of the Virgin Mary, with dark skin and kind eyes, so that her dark skinned children can recognize her and receive her blessings. Maria explains to the child that, in bringing her to Yemaya in the ocean, she is showing her Our Lady in her full power.

There was another kind of santeria on the south side of San Antonio, where I grew up. When I asked parents and Sunday school teachers about the celebrants' odd processions, the shrines in their yards, the incomprehensible usages of Christian symbols, and their exotic botanicas, I was told that their religion was a kind of backwards, superstitious form of Christianity. "Santeria Experience" makes me wish that I had looked more closely, asked more questions, before it was too late.

This is one of the dearest books in my collection.

The author unveils for us the strange and beautiful rituals that derive from the syncretism of Roman Catholicism, early forced on the Yoruba slaves of colonial Puerto Rico, with their own African nature religion. The book is Gonzalez-Wippler's labor of love, recounting lifelong first hand experiences of santeria in the care of her Yoruba nanny, with an attitude of respect and reverence for this great faith.

The author tells of how her Maria gave her the first initiation of children in santeria, on her fifth birthday, first taking her to church to say a rosary before the statue of the Mother Mary, then taking her to an isolated cove, anointing her lips with sugarcane syrup, and leading her naked into the ocean waves, chanting an invocation to the orisha Yemaya, whose symbol is the seven seas and who is the mother of all things living. Maria explains to the child that Yemaya wears another face of the Virgin Mary, with dark skin and kind eyes, so that people who look like her can recognize her and receive her blessings. Maria explains that by bringing the child to Yemaya in the ocean, she is showing her Our Lady in her full power.

There was another kind of santeria on the south side of San Antonio, where i grew up. As a child, when I asked parents and Sunday school teachers about the celebrants' strange processions, the shrines in their yards, the unfathomable usages of Christian symbols, their exotic botanicas, I was told that theirs was a sort of backwards, superstitious version of Christianity. "Santeria Experience" makes me wish that I had looked more closely and asked more questions, before it was too late.

Legends of Santeria (World Religion & Magic)

a fun and easy read
This was the only book on Santeria carried by my library. I was interested in learning about the religion by way of reading Love and Rockets by Los Bros Hernandez, set in Latin America, where many of the characters were named after Orshas. I was thrown off that this book is about "legends", assuming that it would be hard to read and uninteresting.

Was I ever wrong! The characters in the Santerian legends have highly developed personalities, and the book reads like a novel. The stories are not separate, but fall into a progression, from the creation of the world to the ascent of the Orshas into heaven.

This book didn't make me feel stupid or uneducated for not having any prior knowlege of Santeria, it was an excellent introduction to the religion for me. I highly recommend that white Americans do not fall into the trap of self-absortion, and learn respectfully as much as we can about an interesting major American religion.

Es de suma importancia este Libro.
La vidae está basada en los sueños que la mente genera al dormir. Si uno deja de soñar nos convertimos automaticamente en seres que la vida cualquier dia nos pone fin y dejamos de ser humanos. Los sueños son las esperanzas que uno acumula por las frustraciones diarias. El sueño es el oasis de las esperanzas que uno desea lograr en la Vida y depende de Dios y la respuesta del individuo para obedecer a sus certezas. Creo que este libro sobre sueño puede darnos luz a lo que significa las cosas que soñamos. Seamos inteligentes en discernir cual sueño es realmente que procede de lo alto y cual es lo que trae confusion, frustraciones. Un sueño guiado o provocado por Dios jamas trae confusion ...si sabemos esperar en su cumplimiento y tomamos una buena actitud cuando las circunstancias nos dicen lo contrario hay que saber esperar en silencio...por que tarde o temprano llega su cumplimiento de los Sueños.
Le suguiero adquir este libro para empezar su busqueda de la realidad...pero tambien compre una biblia ya que Josue fue uno de los Personajes de la Biblia llego a ser Principe de Egipto despues de muchos años de haber soñado sin entender el mismo el porque????.....Asi que es bueno que sea un buen lector de La biblia y preguntar al autor(El Espiritu Santo) dela Biblia que lo guie a entender la Voluntad de Dios para su vida...

A Classic!
The only beef i have with this book is that she wrote all the offerings in spanish! Like I understand spanish! Even my friend from Ecudar did not understand the dialect. But Ms. Wippler reveals very good information and the legends of each Orisha. She gives you each Orisha's color(s), number(s) and day(s). This is the book to get if you are interested in the Orishas. Its not at all about the religion of Santaria its all about the Orishas. This book and Santaria by the same auther makes a good pair. This is a very good book on the Orishas.

Good book for ALEYOS. They gotta start somewhere!!
Sadly to say Migene Gonzales Wippler has a bad reputation in the Lucumi Tradition, and many give her a really bad rep. Especially on her books on the religion. I do not know her personally, and I am not hear to criticize her work. But to be honest with you it was the books of Mgene Gonzales Wippler that has opened the doors for many Aborishas today. In fact I know a few Iyawos, and a few Babalorishas and Iyalorishas menores like my self who have stated the same things. Okay so with that said, she has published two good books and I must say this one is one of them. I just like it, and I remember it being such a big reference book for me, in those early years of my interest in la religion. There are no big secrets revealed here, just simple Orishas facts, that are commonly known to many of the various Ramas. I recommend this book for the beginners, a book that can be past down to the younger generation. We all have to start somewhere; well this is one of those books to start of with...

Fantastic
This is yet another great one by wippler, She presents alot of information about each orisha which is elsewhere difficult to find. It has lists of each orishas colors, paths, invocations and chants, names, herbs, and more. Its a highly informative and impressive book. I dont care what anyone sais about wippler, shes a wonderfull author and deserves much credit.
