The Handbook of Yoruba Religious Concepts - (Weiser Classics) by Baba Ifa Karade (Paperback)

The "Most of the Africans who were enslaved and brought to the Americas were from the Yoruba nation of West Africa, an ancient and vast civilization." This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the spiritual source of the beliefs and practices that have shaped African American religious traditions.

The author, Baba Ifa Karade, offers a clear and accessible overview of the Yoruba tradition and its influence in the West, including the 16 Orisha, or spirit gods, and how to work with divination, use the energy centers of the body to internalize the teachings of Yoruba, and create a sacred place of worship.

The book also includes prayers, dances, songs, offerings, and sacrifices to honor the Orisha.

With its emphasis on spiritual growth and self-discovery, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring their cultural heritage or deepening their spiritual practice.
