Janie Crawford is born invisible, grows up invisible and is forced to be kept invisible all through the novel. She is on the margins of her society by being barred from participating in the rituals, traditions and distribution of power. She creates a special version of spirituality in which no one can enter and no one can be oppressive. In this paper, we will discuss Janie's spirituality and how she reaches her mature identity through self- created spirituality.
