Publisher's Synopsis
The historical role that magic and soothsaying played in the Underground Railroad has long been ignored out of fear it might diminish the legacy of Harriet Tubman and other heroes of that time. But in truth Harriet Tubman was a conjure woman who relied on her dreams and visionary experiences to lead her followers to freedom. Revered as 'Mama Moses,' she, along with John Brown and others, have been venerated since their deaths. They now have emerged in the 21st century as the pantheon of a new and increasingly popular African-Diaspora tradition. Written by Witchdoctor Utu, leader of the Dragon Ritual Drummers and founder of the Niagara Voodoo Shrine, this is the first book devoted to the spiritual and magical tradition of the Underground Railroad.
