I think this is the kind of stuff erykah is on

My fav quotes from the site:

"the artist as shaman. every book a spell. every draft a divination."

and

"the test of a good healthy spiritual tradition is that its adherents lead good, healthy lives. brimming with strength and meaning. beauty and grace. they build strong, healthy communities. "

and

"consequently the human condition, evolutionary illumination, community empowerment, divine and destinic guidance have become prime hoodoo concerns"

Nice. Haven't read the whole page, so not responsible for everything.

Try reading while listening to Mos Def's "True Magic"
