    Good book nice and clearly written

    Pointing out the elements of Catholicism that coexist with the drums, trances, and animal sacrifice, Kristos catalogues the chief loa (lesser gods), describes a typical ceremony, touches on the highly feared and secretive Sect Rouge believed to practice human sacrifice, and ends up with a quick visit to New Orleans, the centre of American voodoo. An outside view, but one that avoids the sensationalism and teasing of belief so common with the subject.
