This review is from: Awo: Ifa & the Theology of Orisha Divination (Paperback)

Awo F'alokun 's Awo is a must reed! If you are just interested it will give you an indepth view into the most safisticated divination system known to date. Students of Ifa Spanish & non-Spanish speakers, here is your text book! It is basically a course in Ifa 101. While the book is usful to any member of the Ifa Community, It does not engage past the interpretation of the sixteen major oddus. The minor oddus of each major family are ommited. The book also a treasure of Orisha prayers and a basic get started mannuel. Get it!

Awo Fa'lokun is an amazing writter, he never disapoints. He has a way of bringing you into the subject that comes through his intimate knowledge of spirit and ritual that bridges the unseen realm of the ancestors and Orisha and this physical plane. Pure "Afo-Se" (power of the word). He is in my opinion a living treasure to the world. This book is a must have for the seeker and the student of comparative religions! Agbo-Ato Awo Fa'lokun!!!
