A loving description of the Ifa religion from a traditional Nigerian viewpoint, helpful to both advanced babalawo and iyanifa, as well as to those beginning in the tradition. Includes details on the history and influence of Ifa and Orunmila, and detailed descriptions of objects used in Ifa traditions, initiations, sacrifices, prayers, rituals, offerings, and so on. Includes prayers from Odu Ifa, and information about Orisha and related spiritual implications.
This book is a wonderful revelation of the enormous corpus, practice and system that is IFA. Grab some peppermint tea, find a comfortable chair, adjust the light and enjoy this excellent work! Babalawo Olayinka Adewuyi did not disappoint. Ire!
