Ifa. A Complete Divination

'Ifa', or Ifa divinity, approximately translates as a religion or divinity brought into the world by Orunmila, who is the custodian of the Deity, and moral, economic, linguistic, and metaphysical orders of the Yoruba people and its believers. Ifa verses reflect the spiritual content as well as the literary and scientific culture of the Yorubas, and exemplify the aesthetics of the Yoruba language, music and thought. This extensive compendium of Ifa verses is presented in modern Yoruba; and all the verses are accompanied by an English translation. This important publication is a gesture to make the Ifa poem more widely accessible to Yoruba and non-Yoruba audiences; and is a valiant effort to protect the sacred Ifa poem from extinction.
