Publisher's summary

Two manuscripts in one audiobook:

• Santería: The Ultimate Guide to Lucumí Spells, Rituals, Orishas, and Practices, Along with the History of How Yoruba Lived On in America
• Orishas: The Ultimate Guide to African Orisha Deities and Their Presence in Yoruba, Santeria, Voodoo, and Hoodoo, Along with an Explanation of Diloggun Divination

Hundreds of years ago, the Yoruba people of Nigeria and West Africa were brought to America as slaves. Luckily, they successfully preserved their heritage and ancestral spirits by disguising their deities as Catholic saints. In secret, they worshipped. The result is the new-age religion known as Santería, a blend of Catholicism and African traditional beliefs.

Santería offers valuable and insightful information into the origins, beliefs, and practices of the syncretic Lucumí religion. This audiobook will teach you the remarkable secrets of the Yoruba people.

• Discover how to invoke the orishas and the seven African Powers.
• Master the art of divination to foretell your future.
• Never worry about negative and evil forces again.
• See practical examples of how to use divine power to achieve your goals.
• Learn the powerful spells and rituals the Yoruba use to channel their gods.
• Master the use of ashé and iwa pele.
• Become a powerful child of the gods.
• And so much more!

In Part Two, you will:

• Learn how the Orishas came to be, starting with the source of all things - Olodumare
• Discover which Orisha to call upon for specific circumstances
• Find out how to praise and invoke the presence of the Orishas
• Learn how to get divine answers for your heart's questions using Diloggun

information is generally solid

accurate info, very english oriented pronunciation of foreign languages, general sound grasp of the faith.

terrible pronunciation

I couldn't even get through this due to the terrible mispronouncing of words. I do not recommend this book

good read

It was a good read but I have to agree the pronunciations off by alot.

Outstanding

As a person who wanted to start with learning about the religion I was beyond pleased. Extremely informative and accurate

t's SO INFORMATIVE

Oh my GOD, it's SO INFORMATIVE. It only covers the main Orishas, however, it's still very informative and as a beginner, I love it. This is a must-buy for anyone wanting to learn or dive into this religion.

A very informative book

A very informative book dealing with this fascinating subject. Descriptions of the Orishas (Yoruba gods) and their equivalent saints. Case histories and more.

Very Informative

Very informative, I found it interesting and wanting to understand more. My only issue was the pronunciation of names, etc.

Good information

It has good information about the Orishas that I did not get to read in other books!

Liked It

No big secrets revealed. No harm, no foul. General information, yet for a newcomer, enough to explain the basics. (Worked for me when I was a "newbie") Sadly, for aleyos, there really isn't anyone pounding down the door to teach them about the Religion. One has to start somewhere. Until there is a "Santeria for Beginners" Class, books and what can be ferretted out on-line (Buyer, Beware!) will be a couple of ways for newcomers to learn.

Would recommend

Gives a decent amount of detail about the orishas and their attributes. Would recommend it.
