The Voudou Quantum Leap

by Reginald Crosley

Ever since a short lived first edition 15 years ago, The Vodou Quantum Leap by Haitian metaphysician Dr. Reginald Crosley has the reputation of being one of the most notorious books on the occult capacities and potentials of esoteric Vodou. Possibly rivalled only by Michael Bertiaux’ Voudon Gnostic Workbook in revealing and elaborating the most hidden and shadowy aspects of the Vodou Universe, The Vodou Quantum Leap makes a radical claim: that operational Vodou, especially in the workings of the Secret Societies, is nothing short of applied Quantum and New Physics.

Writing from a deep esoteric experience and understanding of Vodou and Afro-centric Gnosis, Dr. Crosley also draws on Western and Eastern mysticism, surrealism, shamanism and modern science to open eerie doorways for the reader into Vodou as an experience of extraordinary Gnostic and occult possibilities and powers.

The infamous voltigeurs, the leapers between the manifold dimensions of reality are at the center of this intense visionary work which expands on such fields as the sinister operations of the red sects, the forbidden zones of black magic, fetichism and spiritual pacts.

Illustrated by esoteric artist and Voudon initiate Peter Dyde, this expanded Theion edition of The Vodou Quantum Leap features a fascinating foreword by David Beth at the personal request of Dr. Crosley.

Seriously batshit crazy.

This book is amazing if your interested in alternative realities, and exploring the art of vodou this isn't probably the best place to start but even so its an exciting and delectable read.

Great book discussing the similarities on Vodou practices and quantum physics.

[Christian · Rating 3 out of 5]

To rate this is basically impossible if you are not sufficiently acquainted with either quantum physics or voudou. And if you are, you probably need not read the book. As such it was a very interesting look at blending two very different approaches to reality, namely quantum physics and haitian voudou. Normally I dislike the rectification of spirituality by appeal to science. Crosley is guilty of that, too, but at the same time everything in here is so over the top that that probably is your last concern. It reminded me somewhat of the Aghora-trilogy by Robert Svoboda which re-invigorated me at a certain time and opened my eyes to bigger possibilities within the narrow confines of the cosmos. "The Voudou Quantum Leap" certainly has trangressive and transcending qualities, albeit somewhat buried under the sheer amount of throws at you in an endless stream, honestly and seriously fascinated and intoxicated by those strange realities.

Sometimes too heavy to read, but I was really caught by the interesting facts of voudo and its manifold practices and beliefs. I also appreciate the analogies of voudo with quantum mechanics, for some people it would be easier to understand this way. Obviously, I disagree with some of the ideas in the book and the insistence on esoteric christianity, but that's my personal view
