📘 Of water and the spirit by Malidoma Patrice Somé

Malidoma Patrice Somé was born in a Dagara village and, at a young age, was taken to a Jesuit boarding school where he spent fifteen years immersed in Western beliefs and rituals. After his return to his community, he underwent a rigorous initiation that deepened his connection to Dagara traditions. Through "Of Water and the Spirit," Somé conveys the living African customs of his culture—encompassing religion, shamanism, traditional healing, and ceremonial rites—bridging them to a wider audience in hope of addressing modern spiritual crises.
