The Holy Book of Ifa Adimula the Sacred Voice of God
Author: Latosa Mabinuori Adegboyega
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789785800821
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 862
Book Description
This book is written for the benefit of the Yoruba people and others who appreciate Yoruba Traditional Religion but do not know how to go about the acquisition of knowledge pertaining to it and all African Traditional Religions. This holy book is a pointer to all the 256 Odus in the Ifa literary corpus. This book is therefore written to bridge that gap. I am quite certain that this book will be of immense benefit to whosoever reads it, for this book is an exposition to African Traditional Religions, particularly the Yoruba Traditional Religion in which Ifa occupies a pride of place. This book is recommended to all lovers of knowledge, the Yoruba Traditional Religion and Ifa.

Sacred Odu Ifa
Author: Ifasoore Ifayemi Adesanya Awoyade Akanbi
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781540781819
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
This book is a Contextual Reference Guide that provides a brief synopsis of the overall energy of the Odu Ifa. It has been compiled based on my in-depth research in the written literature and guidance provided by established and competent Babalawo and Awo. It is comprised of the descriptive person-hood of the Sacred verses as well as some taboos and sacrifices. This Contextual Reference Guide is in no way exhaustive and should be used coupled with information and research primarily focused on the rituals, medicines, and sacrifices of the Odu Ifa. Future publications related to this Contextual Reference Guide may include specific rituals, medicines, and sacrifices however they will come with further research and of course the guidance of well-established and competent Babalawo', Iyanifa' and Awo'. This book has been written in the hopes that it will assist those born in the western diaspora to contextualize and digest the information presented in the original texts of the sacred Scriptures of Odu Ifa. Many of us rightfully travel to Nigeria for our initiations however the Western lifestyle does not often provide the time in which it would take to study under our Elders long enough to gather a comprehensive understanding of these verses. This book is my attempt to assist us with this work. I pray that it be accepted by my Elders and respected by my colleagues in Ifa. As an American Iyanifa, it is with respect for this tradition that I have undertaken this heavy and very important task and I have not done so alone. I would like to give thanks to those Priests that have contributed their knowledge and wisdom to my work. Thank you and enjoy.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
The Ifa Oracle is an ancient African divination system that has been passed down orally through the generations. Like the hexagrams of the I Ching, the odus - or stories - that comprise the oracle are consulted for their sage advice and wisdom regarding life questions. Now, for the first time, the 256 sacred stories of the Ifa Oracle have been translated into English by Dr. Afolabi Epega, a fifth-generation Nigerian babalawo, or Ifa priest. Both classic and Western interpretations by Dr. Epega and American babalawo Philip Neimark clearly illuminate each translation, setting the context for using and understanding the power of Ifa wisdom in modern life.
