5.0 out of 5 stars Get the Whole Collection, good booklets for the novice, September 30, 2002

By	El Brujo "Brujo Hechisero" (Lowell, Ma) - See all my reviews

I personally like all of Baba Raul Canizare's booklets on the Orishas, each booklet comes with various Patikis "Orisha Mythology and Legends" Songs, Chants, and Prayers. These booklets are a collection of the most popular Orishas as worshipped in the Orisha tradition of Lucumi. They are just booklets, and are good for the novice in the religion, or those who are curious about a certain Orisha. Worth the $$$. Check out the whole collection. Eshu-Eleggua Elegbara: Santeria and the Orisha of the Crossroads , Obatala : Santeria and the White Robed King of the Orisha, Oshun : Santeria and Orisha of Love and Sensuality , Babalu Aye : Santeria and the Lord of Pestilence , Shango : Santeria and the Orisha of Thunder .

5.0 out of 5 stars Canizares was right on the money!, August 26, 2003

By A Customer

This book is simply wonderful. Jam packed with lots of information that is not readily or easily obtainable! I recommed this book (without reservation) for anyone interested in the Orishas or the Orisha Movement! Although the book may appear small and useless, don't judge it by it's cover.....it is a great starting place to learn more about your personal Orisha!
