5.0 out of 5 stars obi abata, January 26, 2006

By	reader (USA) - See all my reviews

I have every book written on Obi divination. This one is excellent. It is concise and gives all the information needed to get into this wonderful divination system. There are other books that are more complex, but this one is very clear and good. You can work with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glad to finally have a copy, February 18, 2006

By	Ol'Orisa Olokun (Plant Earth) - See all my reviews

What I enjoyed most about this book is that is concise and well-written. I really appreciated that Epega could say so much in such a informative way and still end up with a book that is very easy to read. (So many other Obi Abata books are either filled with fluff or very intellectual.) The editing is perfect.

What I enjoyed the least about this book, is that he provides no full Obi Abata Iwure (Prayer). While its true that we say Akinmoran x 3 I think most Priests and Devotees would agree, the average person should, in fact, MUST use a full length prayer to ensure that they Deity in question has actually been invoked. Which brings me to my last criticism - Epega never tells who can invokes and queried through Obi Abata. Its for this reason that I think this book is more suited to the devotee w/ Spiritual Elders, as opposed to the average joe off the street. But still, a wonderful book to own.
