Discover a sacred feminine initiation of self-love and soul care rituals, tools and practices.
Abiola Abrams invites you to activate African goddess magic to transmute your fears, creating more happiness, abundance and self-acceptance. Africa is a continent of more than 54 countries, and her children are global. Our ancestors who were trafficked in 'The New World' hid the secrets of our orishas, abosom, Iwas, álúsí and god/desses behind saints, angels and legendary characters. From South Africa to Egypt, Brazil to Haiti, Guyana to Louisiana, goddess wisdom still empowers us.
You will meet ancient goddesses and divine feminine energy ancestors, legendary queens and mystical spirits. They represent the inner temples you must ascend to embody goddess energy. As you complete their powerful rituals you will:
- awaken generational healing in the Temple of Ancestors
- manifest your miracles in the Temple of Conjurers
- release the struggle in the Temple of Warriors
- embrace your dark goddess self in the Temple of Shadows
- heal your primal wounds in the Temple of Lovers
- liberate your voice in the Temple of Griots
- open your third eye intuition in the Temple of Queens
- surrender, meditate and rise in the Temple of High Priestesses
'Spirit told me, "We choose to show up.''' writes Abiola. And if you are holding this book, then this sacred medicine is meant for you. Welcome to your goddess circle!
We are at a crossroads spiritually and in search of answers. In African Goddess Initiation, Abiola introduces our ancient mothers back to us. It is a welcome reunion for those of us seeking a deeper connection with African spirituality and the ancient wisdom of our ancestors.
Can you hear that? It's the sound of the goddess rising, calling you into her circle. Abiola Abrams and her beautiful book are a part of this rising. This book is magical and grounded as well as encouraging and affirming.
There is no greater hand to hold through your guided journey into the land of self- love and spiritual connection than Abiola's, who will no doubt handle it with care. She has consistently shown up for women for more than a decade and brought out their very best, and this guided journey into our most sacred rituals is no exception.
Abiola Abrams, a true African Goddess, has put her heart and soul into this inspiring book that helps guide you to self-awareness, self-healing and self-love. This book is a must for every woman's household!
Abiola Abrams is a powerful storyteller and historian. For anyone looking to explore Global African spiritual traditions laced with love, this is the text. Many of us have been forced to forget where we come from. African Goddess Initiation isn't just history; it contains rituals and ceremonies that tap into our collective DNA. Abiola's words are a soothing balm in turbulent times. This book is an offering, a gift from our ancestors, and they are felt on every page. A deep bow for Abrams as a channel, guide, and compassionate cheerleader. If African Goddess Initiation is in your hands, there is a reason. This book will permanently live on my nightstand when I need reminders, encouragement or guidance. She's invited us all on this journey, solo or as a group. I'm eternally grateful for this wisdom and the invitation to reconnect with 'global sisterhood.
Abiola invites us all to embrace the divine feminine energy within that is needed to nurture the planet at this time, and she takes us on a healing journey passed down from our ancestors to go within and activate our most authentic selves while removing limiting beliefs that hold us back from expressing who we truly are.
One of the most important contemporary books on the transformational power of ritual, and the journey to awakening the Divine Feminine in ourselves, Abiola Abrams has generously gifted us with a profound body of work inviting us into the sacred spaces and rituals of her spiritual ancestry - the extraordinary rich world of African goddess magic and mysticism. This book is pure alchemical magic. If you're called to open its pages, it offers nothing less than a fierce, loving and timely initiation to awaken the Goddess within. More importantly it fills a great gap in our collective soul as the author reclaims the mystical power of her ancestors and firmly restores it to its rightful place. African Goddess Initiation is a living map to an inclusive unified world where we all are valued.
Abiola blesses the world with the knowledge of her spiritual ancestry, inviting all women to wake up to their divine power. Read this book from cover to cover or close your eyes and trust as you open a page. You'll find wisdom and rituals to nurture your spirit on every page.
Women are awakening to our sacred feminine power, and it has been a long time coming. At the forefront, beating the drum and clearing our path is Abiola Abrams. Abiola has held sacred space and hosted goddess circles for just over 20 years now, and it has culminated in her latest offering African Goddess Initiation. In this book, Abiola joins forces with our powerful goddesses, ancestors, and spirits to guide us through a divine feminine initiation and rebirth into our capital 'S' self. With the warmth of your best girlfriend and the wisdom of the ages, Abiola walks us through nine key inner temples we must face to awaken the goddess, the divine feminine, within. Goddess rising is an energy that can no longer be contained. Abrams invites us to answer the whisper of the goddess rising. Will you say yes?
When it comes to self-love and self-care, sacred rituals have the power to transform the relationship you have with yourself and deepen your understanding of what love can be. The way Abiola shares African rituals is powerful, sensuous, and connected. African-based spiritual tools through a womanist (or feminist) lens are necessary, now, more than ever. My hope for this book is that it is in the home of every woman of colour in the world.
