They are the author of many books including Voodoo and Afro-Caribbean Paganism, The African-American Ritual Cookbook, Love Magic, Water Magic, and their newest book, Orishas, Goddesses, and Voodoo Queens: The Divine Feminine in the African Religious Traditions.
Lilith has been a professional psychic for over three decades and since 1991, they have been doing successful magick and readings for patrons of their business. In addition to all that, they are also editor/publisher of Oshun-African Magickal Quarterly, and the filmmaker of the experimental documentary Bodies of Water: Voodoo Identity and Tranceformation.

On this episode, Lilith discusses the feminine magic of African diaspora traditions, the true power of love spells, and how they blend the different spiritual strands of their multicultural lineage with care and respect.
Pam also talks about Witches’ New Year and the new moon, and answers a listener question about heeding Hecate’s call.
