Sacred Leaves of Candomblé: African Magic, Medicine, and Religion in Brazil
Robert A. Voeks Publisher: University of Texas Press November 1997
EAN: 9780292787315 ISBN: 0292787316
Synopsis: Candomble, an African religious and healing tradition that spread to Brazil during the slave trade, relies heavily on the use of plants in its spiritual and medicinal practices. This book traces the origin, diffusion, medicinal use, and meaning of Candomble's healing pharmacopoeia - the sacred leaves. This research casts new light on topics ranging from the creation of African American cultures to tropical rain forest healing floras.
