About this ebook

Delve into the world of Yoruba mythology!

Are you interested in learning about different religions?

Do you want to learn about an ancient religion still practiced today?

Have you heard of Orisha and IFA and want to know more about them?

Like almost every culture in the world, Yoruba culture is steeped in poetry, allegories, mythology, and knowledge of the Ifa divination system. These practices are a constant reminder to the people of their practices and their long and colorful history, handed down through the generations via oral tradition, which has shaped who they are today.

The Yoruba people have existed for centuries and can still be found today across parts of Africa, practicing their religion and worshipping their gods and goddesses, collectively known as the Orisha.

I think this book is a good launching point, if you will. Something to familiarize yourself before you get into deeper exploration of this mythology. It gives you the broad strokes & makes it accessible, but do not go into this expecting fleshed out stories that expound greatly on some of the 'lore' attached to that of Yoruba deities.
