The Little Oracle That Goes a Long Way: Ifa's Obi Abata (Mouths of God Oracle Series) (Paperback)

by Ra Ifagbemi Babalawo (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
It is gratifying to know that Min. Ra Ifagbemi has produced a manual on Obi divination. While brilliantly pioneering this subject, he has precisely and concisely created a work of great practicality. Based on the age old Yoruba Oracle Obi, this book will certainly become a standard reference for Obi divination; allowing the reader to comprehend the full potential and divine message from the mouth of the Spirit of Creation itself. Obi Abata, which is the focus of this work is the simplest Ifa Oracle. It requires no initiations nor prescribed animal sacrifices. But, be not fooled, although apparently simple, it is extremely accurate and has the power to mathematically generate one leg of the Ifa Ikin and Opele oracles. Obi, when properly cast, reveals the exact state of affairs of any situation

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide and teaching of African oracles, April 23, 1999

By A Customer

This book has taught me how to delve deep into knowing any given situation. It is amazing to see the situations or experiences unfold from a reading divined through the Obi. I have found this book to be a serious practical guide to understanding how the creator and/or the principals of the creators speak to us. Each reading takes you on a road of greater indepth knowledge about myself, other people, and the world around me. You will not leave home without your oracle guide book. Get closer to your roots and knowing how African Civilizations were built on the basis of such oracles and divine readings.
