Yoruba religion African Art News

Yoruba religionThe Yoruba tribe is well known. But many people are strugling to find explanation about the Yoruba religion of Ifa. I found a very good book to introduce you to the Yoruba religion : By Iyalorisa
Aina Olomo
It is surprising that this is her first book because her every conversation is saturated with powerful instruction. With this book, she is sharing this dynamic understanding of Yoruba practice with those eager to move beyond narrowness and restrictions. Some
will find her proclamations controversial. Indeed, hers is a distinctive voice
among those writing about Yoruba spirituality. Many will soon begin
debating her concepts of a Core Belief System, the significance of ancestor
veneration for those of us west of the Atlantic, and the need to dismantle the
walls that divide spiritual communities. And I am eager for the debate
to begin! This will ensure that Yoruba practice remains vibrant, and that
it will not stagnate into fossilized ideas that serve no one. Iyalosha Aina Olomo Sango Oba Bi has undertaken an enormous task—to follow her Ori in spite of the sacrifices and to give humanity a way of moving toward its fullest expression. To
her I say, —“Eku ise o! —Well done!” And to the readers of this
exceptional work I say, “Savor the challenges that lay ahead. May these
words bring you strength and peace.” Iya
Omi Osun Oloriya Aina is one of the elder mothers in Lucumi tradition and brings a wealth of experience, insight and knowledge to her discussion of important issues that are at the foundation of establishing healthy extended families in the Diaspora. Her ideas about core personal beliefs are an essential element of any productive dialogue on issues related to spiritual growth and the progressive development of our communities Core of Fire Over the past twenty years, the literature on Ifa-Orisa has shifted from books by anthropologists talking about what we do, to books by initiates talking about what we believe. Aina Olomo, in her book. CORE OF FIRE: A Path to Yoruba Spiritual Activism, has taken the next step. She has started the dialogue on the social implications of our beliefs and gives insight into questions related to the spiritual and ancestral obligations of elevating the world around us. This is an important shift in literature on Ifa-Orisa, and I say, Iba se Ara Orun Ile Olomo as thanks for this illuminating book. It is a must read for anyone who takes serious the Ifa belief that says we are born to greet the earth and to leave it a better place. Buy the book if you are interested in the Yoruba tribe and want to know more about the Yoruba religion and learn more about the Yoruba spiritual activism:
