| This past year I completed my Henry Rutgers thesis which explored the connections between Black women and their participation, or lack thereof, in contemporary Wicca (witchcraft). This thesis entitled, “The Many Faces of the Goddess Missing a Black Face: Sociological, Psychological and Political Reflections on the Absence of African-American Women in Contemporary Wicca,” traces the absence of Black women to several factors, some of which are more apparent than others. This project, done under the direction of Dr. James W. Jones (who I am completely indebted to for his support), completely transformed the way that I see Black female religion as well as revolutionized the way that I think and analyze information. |
