It is a well-known introductory and intermediate text on the Yoruba spiritual tradition of Ifá, written by Chief Solagbade Popoola, a respected Babaláwo (Ifá priest) and teacher. The book was originally published years ago, went out of print, and was later republished because of continued demand.
The book covers topics such as:
The origins and philosophy of Ifá.
The 256 Odù Ifá and their significance.
The instruments used in Ifá divination.
The ethics and responsibilities of a Babaláwo.
Rituals, prayers, sacrifices (ebo), and taboos.
How Ifá verses (ẹsẹ Ifá) are interpreted and applied in daily life.
The role of Òrúnmìlà and the Orisha in guiding human destiny.
It is written for a broad audience—from beginners who want to understand Ifá to initiated practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the tradition.
