With the soul of a memoir and the practicality of a modern-day grimoire, In the Crossroads of My Godmother’s Garden is an invitation to Makumba, a spiritual tradition born of the forced interaction between African Bantus and Indigenous Brazilian Peoples enslaved in Brazil. While Makumba is an initiatory practice, there is space within the tradition for practitioners of many different lineages to learn the philosophy and magic of the Makumba without needing anything more than an honest heart and an open mind, and the clear desire to build a happier life in the present moment. Debora Greer, a Makumbeira, invites readers to live in synchronicity with our ancestors, nature and its many cycles, and a magic that supports our wellbeing in the present moment.
