African Goddess Initiation by Abiola Abrams

African Goddess Initiation by Abiola Abrams

A book of actionable self-love and self-care rituals, ceremonies, and celebrations based on the goddesses of the African diaspora and black people around the world written by spiritual teacher, intuitive coach, and author, Abiola Abrams. Imagine being able to welcome ancient African goddess magic into your dailylife to dissolve your fears, limiting beliefs,and shadow blocks as you learn how the principles of conjuring in African traditions can help you to become the person you were born to be. When Africans were kidnapped and brutally brought to "The New World," they hid their deities and rituals in stories of saints, angels,and legendary characters. Their deities included a powerful cadre of orishas, lwas, goddesses. From Egypt to South Africa, Cuba to even indigenous Australia, we chant their names then and now: Yemaya, Odudua, Erzulie, Ala, Isis, Maat among others. Each chapter of the book is dedicated to an African goddess. We learn about the deity, how to invoke and honor her energy, and how she honors you. In addition to an accompanying declaration, there will be a self-love, self-care,or manifesting ritual related to each goddess. Consider AFRICAN GODDESS RISINGto be an initiation into your own power. This is our time to rise and to shine. Here is your crown. You are power and magic: fearfully and wonderfully made.

There is no greater hand to hold through your guided journey into the land of self-love and spiritual connection than Abiola's, who will no doubt handle it with careShe has consistently shown up for women for more than a decade and brought out their very best, and this guided journey into our most sacred rituals is no exception.

One of the most important contemporary books on the transformational power of ritual, and the journey to awakening the Divine Feminine in ourselves, Abiola Abrams has generously gifted us with a profound body of work inviting us into the sacred spaces and rituals of her spiritual ancestry-the extraordinary rich world of African goddess magic and mysticism. This book is pure alchemical magic. If you're called to open its pages, it offers nothing less than a fierce, loving, and timely initiation to awaken the Goddess within. More importantly it fills a great gap in our collective soul as the author reclaims the mystical power of her ancestors and firmly restores it to its rightful place. African Goddess Initiation is a living map to an inclusive unified world where we all are valued.
