White Priestess of the Old Yoruba Gods

This story seems like it might have come out of some Edgar Rice
Burroughs novel or Henry Rider Haggard's novels such as 'SHE'
or'Ayesha'.

The old Yoruba gods are said to be identical to the orishas who are 'fed' in Voodun, Hoodoo, and Santeria, more recent syncretisms.
