This book is rooted in authentic Yoruba tradition and authored by an initiated Babalawo.
Step into the spiritual heart of the Yoruba people, an ancient culture rooted in present-day Nigeria. The Sacred Teachings of the Orishas invites you to explore a powerful spiritual tradition that is central to West African identity and continues to influence communities worldwide.
The Orishas are sacred spirits born from the forces of nature and shaped by ancestral wisdom. They inhabit rivers, storms, mountains, and winds, embodying earth’s elements as well as qualities like healing, justice, courage, love, and truth. More than myths, they are living guides honored by ancestors and still present today, offering protection, insight and spiritual connection. Walking with the Orishas means following a timeless path of power and purpose across generations.
Despite the trauma of the transatlantic slave trade, Yoruba descendants preserved these traditions, often blending them with Christianity and Indigenous beliefs in the Americas. This fusion gave rise to Afro-diasporic religions like Candomblé in Brazil and Santería in Cuba, which continue to thrive. Whether you’re beginning or deepening your practice, The Sacred Teachings of the Orishas guides you to actively connect with the Orishas. Discover over 50 sacred stories, prayers, rituals, and practices that bring their wisdom into your daily life. Make traditional offerings, recite prayers, and engage in meaningful activities to help you connect personally with each Orisha.
Explore the Yoruba Creation Story and meet the Orishas and spirits featured in this book, including Aganju, Aje Shaluga, Ajogun, Dada, Egbe-Orun, Egungun, Eshu, Ibeji, Erinle, Iyami Osoronga, Oba, Ochosi, Ogun, Oko, Olokun, Ori, Oro, Orunmila, Osain, Oshun, Oya, Yemoja, Yewa, and more. This book offers a meaningful connection to a vibrant spiritual heritage that continues to thrive, empowering you to carry the guidance and strength of the Orishas into your daily life.
