In the realm of African spiritual pathways, no tradition is so widely embraced and practiced as the West African religion Orisa. Awakened by her own spiritual journey, Tobe Melora Correal, an initiated priestess in the Yoruba-Lukumi branch of Orisa, guides us along this blessed road. Finding Soul on the Path of Orisa provides a fresh look at these ancient teachings and emphasizes introspection and inner work over the outward manifestations of Orisa's practices.

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.

Yemaya, queen of the sea, first emerged in Yorubaland (now in modern Nigeria). A primordial deity, considered the mother of all, she is perceived by some to be at the root of numerous ancient goddesses, including Isis. During the Middle Passage, Yemaya accompanied her enslaved devotees to the Western Hemisphere, where her eventual association with the Virgin Mary helped her veneration take root and flourish.

Make no mistake, the sacred gods are active. The African continent is home to ancestors, sacred deities, and diverse cultures. Among them is the Yoruba tradition, one of Africa’s most powerful societies. Standing the test of time and thriving against extinction, the Yoruba culture is one of the few African cultures that have crossed the vast oceans and continue to thrive today. Devotees spend their lives under the sacred guiding influence of the gods and are open to sharing the secrets of Orisha with those who seek knowledge.

Astrology for beginners: What’s it all mean? Most of us read our horoscopes at some point, skeptic or not. Most of us also only read our Sun sign horoscope, when in reality, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our Sun sign is only one facet of our personalities (according to astrology). Check your moon, sun, and rising signs to get a more specific reading and analysis, get with the elements and how they affect you, and don’t forget the planets - and the three categories.
By: William Richards
Publisher's Summary
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.

Excellent Introduction
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.

Yoruba not others Religions
why does the author feel the need to include/ validate yoruba writing and compare to the Christian Judeo religions! A reader of thi s book clearly is interested in divination so why also write Biblical proverbs and read them?!! The reader butchered pronunciation of so words even common words!! AND some of the divination Info is incorrect
