In pursuit of the gods of the "old religion," Robert Gover must first learn where to look~ "in here" rather than "out there." His search takes him from an African community in South Carolina to Trinidad and Bahia, the nerve center of Voodoo in Brazil. Along the way he learns how to prepare himself by fasting, how to make friends with his astral soul, how to share life with a ghost, and how to assess the real meaning of possession. In the presence of Voodoo priests, cameras and tape recorders fail and frustrate him. A turned~on television set in the middle of a rain forest intrigues him. The ancient rite of the candomble captures and transports him. His quest to view life from the Voodoo perspective is, finally, achieved . through his own courage and the gentle persistence of his spirit guides. Whether writing about the spirit world or the lush tropical settings and exotic folkways he encounters, Robert Gover creates his own spell and carries us willingly along with him on his journey. He is an eclectic personality and the author of several novels, among them the 1960's best~seller, The One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1281403
