Teachings of the Santería Gods

Meer over het boek

At the heart of Santeria's sacred divination system, the diloggun, are the patakis—powerful narratives that connect the spiritual and the earthly. This book presents over 100 of these ancient African stories, exploring themes of creation, love, and the lives of orishas, enriching the understanding of Yoruba spirituality. Written by ocha'ni Lele, a seasoned practitioner, it bridges the gap between ethnography and religious studies, offering a unique insight into a faith that continues to grow globally.
