The Voodoo religion, often shrouded in mystery and misconception, is a rich and complex spiritual tradition that has shaped the lives of millions across the globe. Originating from the fusion of West African spiritual practices with Roman Catholicism during the transatlantic slave trade, Voodoo is not merely a religion but a way of life that integrates the worship of a distant creator, Bondye, with the veneration of powerful intermediary spirits known as Lwa. These spirits, each with their own distinct personalities and preferences, are invoked through intricate rituals involving music, dance, and possession, creating a deeply immersive and communal spiritual experience. Far from the dark stereotypes perpetuated by popular culture, Voodoo is a religion of healing, protection, and guidance, offering its practitioners a profound connection to their ancestors, the natural world, and the divine. This premise invites readers to explore the true essence of Voodoo, dispelling myths and revealing the vibrant, life-affirming practices at the heart of this enduring spiritual tradition.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
