This book presents a collection of five distinct Vodou rituals dedicated to Maman Brigitte, the loa of the dead.  It acts as a guide to engaging with these spiritual practices. It unfolds through the detailed descriptions and instructions for each ritual.  The Rum and Fire Rite uses rum, peppers, and candlelight to invoke Maman Brigitte's strength; the Graveyard Prayer seeks ancestral guidance at a cemetery or crossroads with offerings; the Dance of the Dead celebrates life and death with music and movement; the Invocation of the Crossroads Keeper requests wisdom at a crossroads; and the Ancestral Flame Rite calls to protect loved ones.  Each ritual represents a different facet of Maman Brigitte's power and her relationship with the living and the dead.
 
The book's structure focuses on the practical application of each ritual, providing readers with the necessary steps, offerings, and invocations to perform them respectfully. Completion of the rituals, deepens one's understanding of Maman Brigitte and their connection to their ancestors.
