• An introduction to the spiritual source of the beliefs and practices that have so profoundly shaped African American religious traditions.
• 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.
• In the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the guiding concepts of the Yoruba spiritual tradition took root in Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States.
• In this accessible introduction, Baba Ifa Karade provides an overview of the Yoruba tradition and its influence in the West.
• He describes the sixteen Orisha, or spirit gods, and shows us 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.
