These Treatises of the Odu of Ifá in volumes, are very complete, since In addition to treating the Afro-Cuban Odu de Ifá, they also contain Traditional African Ifá treatises. Both gather thousands of Pataki or Histories, thousands of Eboses and works, which will make it easier for you to deepen your study and solve any situation that arises in the religious field of consulting the Ifa oracle. The Synthesis of the Treaties of the Odu of Ifá already published by me previously, is nothing more than as its name indicates, a synthesis of these treaties, whose objective was always to support to the Babalawo as a handy pocket reminder, based on the fact that it has been studied and deepened before in the study of these volumes which will lead you to have the most complete knowledge about Ifá. For these reasons, it is highly recommended to have this valuable information in your library. We have grouped only two Odu per book, to make it as cheap as possible and facilitate its acquisition.

For more than 1000 years, the Yoruba of Nigeria have planned their lives, found true love, and learned their destiny through a vibrant and poetic fortune-telling system. African Oracles in 10 Minutes puts the power of these ancient methods in your hands. Sensing the strong link between sexual and spiritual energy, the Yoruba have traditionally explored both male and female paths to wisdom. You can choose to follow either the "White Cotton Road," which women have relied on for centuries, or the "Melon Seed Road," favored by men. Each path offers more than 250 readings that are both relevant to modern life and faithful to the spirit of the original systems. All you need are 16 objects -- coins, shells, beads or dried beans -- to get instant answers to yes or no questions as well as in-depth readings on more profound considerations. African Oracles in 10 Minutes provides both a fascinating glimpse of Yoruban spiritualism and a time-honored method for unlocking the secrets of the past and revealing the destiny that awaits you.

The Ifa Oracle is an ancient African divination system that has been passed down orally through the generations. Like the hexagrams of the I Ching, the odus - or stories - that comprise the oracle are consulted for their sage advice and wisdom regarding life questions. Now, for the first time, the 256 sacred stories of the Ifa Oracle have been translated into English by Dr. Afolabi Epega, a fifth-generation Nigerian babalawo, or Ifa priest. Both classic and Western interpretations by Dr. Epega and American babalawo Philip Neimark clearly illuminate each translation, setting the context for using and understanding the power of Ifa wisdom in modern life.
