Enter the fascinating world of the Condomble regions of Brazil, where interaction between spirits and human is considered an everyday occurrence. Jim Wafer uncovers the social life, rituals, folklore, and engaging personalities of the villagers of Jacari, among whom trances, sorcery, and spirit possession demonstrate the coexistence of different kinds of reality.
This ethnography is intriguing not only because of the originality of its approach to the more enigmatic aspects of another culture but also because it uses insights gained from participation in that culture to reflect on the paradoxes inherent in the writers own culture, and in the human condition in general.

The book offers a lot of rich information about spirit possession in Candomblé, which I found really well-researched. However, I noticed some marks on the pages and the binding was a little worn. Still, it’s worth it for the knowledge it contains!

Fascinating Read on Candomblé
I picked up this book on the spiritual practices of Brazilian Candomblé and it did not disappoint. The ethnographic insights were deep and thought-provoking, perfect for anyone interested in spirituality and culture. Got it used, but the condition was surprisingly good too!

Not What I Expected
I was hoping for a more visual ethnography or something with more stories, but it was very academic and dense. Also, my copy arrived with a few pages crinkled, which was disappointing. Might be better for scholars than casual readers.
