of Power

This beautiful, coffee-table book on Mary Pleasant is a biography
and a major work in Pleasant's spiritual inspiration as well. Designed

tools for social leveraging that she passed to Pleasant. It demystifies
Vodun (voodoo) in layman's terms and explains how it affected Pleasant
and LaVeau. Don't miss this major work.
