Queen Aimee and the Ancestree

By: Mallory Raven-Ellen Backstrom

Narrated by: Mallory Raven-Ellen Backstrom

In 1663, Oshun was summoned by Queen Aimee as she lay dying in the rice fields. A high priestess in her homeland of Angola, Queen Aimee was captured and sold to a plantation on a sea island off the coast of Georgia. Beaten, starved, and worked to death Queen Aimee prayed that the Goddess would save her child. Oshun answered her call, sweeping a yellow fever across the island that ravaged the cruel masters and their overseers. Oshun blanketed the island with a shield of utter invisibility and, finding her worthy, she endowed Queen Aimee with incredible powers, everlasting youth, and vitality. But what good is immortality if you must endure it alone? "Queen Aimee and the Ancestree" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of ancestral connection, and the magick of true love.
