Ancient Wisdom Reveals the light of Africa,
By
This review is from: IFA: An Exposition of IFA Literary Corpus (Paperback)
Many people are unaware of the magic of the Orishas. The Europeansthat first encounterd this form of divination called it witch craft and mislabeled the greatness of it. In A dogmatic christainsoceity of today it seems more and more people are going back to pagan roots. Yoruba is a very old relgion in Africa, and possibly it does have connections to that of ancient kemetaka Egypt. I myself being a white person so enchanted by the nature of African spirtuality probally cannot turly understand the Orisha or how deep it goes for a person of African ancestry. I do not practice this form of whorship,but I love the concepts of the relgion. The book is the Vedas,Bible,Ouran, Bhavagad Gita to those individuals that are dedicated to the divination of Ifa. If you want to see the wisdom of an ancient people and relgion shine through please pick up this book.

Buy this no matter how long it takes to get it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: IFA: An Exposition of IFA Literary Corpus (Paperback)
This book is a master work by a scholar of the first order. Mr Abimbola has complete command of his subject. In reading many work on the Ifa corpus this book is far and away the best. Do not cheat yourself out of the experience.
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introduction to the wisdom and poetry of Ifá.,
By A Customer
This review is from: IFA: An Exposition of IFA Literary Corpus (Paperback)
Professor Abimbola not only dissects the basic structure of the Odus, but his explanations of Ifa spirituality are unsurpassed in transparency and logic. If you are confused and looking for a knowledgeable guide to this ancient wisdom, this is what you need. Prof. Abimbola's English is as impeccable as his erudition, and the book is never heavy or unnecessarily complicated.
