Orishas: A Comprehensive Guide to African Deities, Yoruba Traditions, and Sacred Rituals in African Religious Practices - Spiritual Enlightenment thro (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196464645)

This book will take you on a compelling journey to discover the goddesses and gods of the Yoruba tradition, revealing their central role in African spirituality. Legend has it that Olodumare, the supreme creator, sent the Orisha to teach humanity how to live successfully on Earth.
