Pagan Portals - Maria Lionza: Folklore & Rituals of the Queen of Witches, Faeries, and Animas By Elhoim Leafar

Venezuelan author Elhoim Leafar introduces María Lionza through folklore and ritual associated with her traditions. The discussion places her alongside El Negro Felipe and Cacique Guaicaipuro within a significant trilogy of Venezuelan spiritism.

Leafar writes from involvement in these practices rather than as a spokesperson for all Venezuelan or Indigenous communities. The book describes particular beliefs, not a universal theology or verified supernatural history.
