Palero Tata Rodriguez is your guide through this exploration of
Palo Kimbisa, an Afro-Cuban religion where nothing is as it seems:
elements of nature become spirits that speak to the Tata and
initiates, clay pots become miniature sacred groves, and a chef
becomes a Tata—a counselor, protector, and teacher. Palo
goddaughter Sophia Kelly Shultz experiences and relates Tata
Rodriguez’s practices through anecdotes, firsthand accounts, and
exquisite pen-and-ink illustrations. Special passages bring life to
concepts represented by each Spirit; others highlight important
facets of the palero's beliefs and practices. Stories invite
anyone, from future initiates to those who simply wish to know more
about this religion, to get a feel for the rules and
practicalities—and the magic—of Palo.
