About this listen

An introduction to the spiritual source of the beliefs and practices that have so profoundly shaped African American religious traditions.

Most of the Africans who were enslaved and brought to the Americas were from the Yoruba nation of West Africa, an ancient and vast civilization. In the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the guiding concepts of the Yoruba spiritual tradition took root in Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States.

In this accessible audio introduction, Baba Ifa Karade provides an overview of the Yoruba tradition and its influence in the West. He describes the 16 Orisha, or spirit gods, and shows us how to work with divination, use the energy centers of the body to internalize the teachings of Yoruba, and create a sacred place of worship. The audiobook also includes prayers, dances, songs, offerings, and sacrifices to honor the Orisha

The Handbook of Yoruba Religious Concepts is skillfully narrated by Camille Mazant, with guidance from the author.

I cannot say enough how wonderful the woman voicing this book was, and the content would be a wealth of information. Yet, the sheer amount of lists and charts makes this book hard to understand. If there was an accompanying PDF, I could then understand and retain what I'm hearing.

Word to the wise, buy the physical copy of this book!

I love the book personally

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The narration was elegant and clear. The content was sufficient for a novice and also in depth enough to penetrate a deeper understanding of the religious and cultural practices.

Only critique is a lack of a pdf containing the various charts and tables depicting Orishas, different traditions and their focus, Ifa divination, etc.

Otherwise, exceptional and straightforward.
