About the author
Lilith Dorsey is an author and practitioner working within Afro-Caribbean and African diasporic spiritual traditions, including Voodoo, Santeria, and related Orisha-based practices, and her books for Weiser Books and Llewellyn Publications draw on fieldwork and personal practice. Voodoo and African Traditional Religion, from Warlock Press, addresses the ancestral traditions of African-descended communities. Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens surveys the divine feminine across Yoruba, Santeria, Haitian Vodoun, and New Orleans Voodoo traditions, while Love Magic collects spells and rituals focused on love and relationships, and Water Magic, part of Llewellyn's Elements of Witchcraft series, centers her practice around the symbolism and use of water. Across this body of work Dorsey writes for readers seeking both cultural and historical grounding in African diasporic religion and practical ritual material, positioning her as one of the more visible contemporary writers on Voodoo and related traditions.
