The 21 Divisions: Mysteries and Magic of Dominican Voodoo by Hector Salva offers an introduction to the history, beliefs, and spiritual practices of the Dominican tradition known as the 21 Divisions.
Drawing on family tradition, personal experience, and years of practice, Salva explains the role of the Misterios—powerful spiritual intermediaries associated with particular forces, conditions, and areas of human life. The book explores how practitioners work with these spirits for concerns involving healing, success, career advancement, relationships, protection, and other practical needs.
Along with historical and cultural background, the book includes accounts of rituals, healing work, spiritual experiences, and respected practitioners within the tradition, giving readers a more personal view of the complexity and beauty of Dominican spiritual practice.
A valuable introduction for readers interested in the 21 Divisions, Dominican Voodoo, Caribbean spiritual traditions, and the ways spirit work is incorporated into everyday life and practical spiritual concerns.
