Book Reviews of The Way of Orisa: Empowering Your Life Through the Ancient African Religion of Ifa
Book Review: Where's the beef ? Leaves you searching for more.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a book that I would only recommend to a novice or newcomer in the Yoruba studies and culture. For a practitioner or an avid student or person with knowledge on the subject matter is leaves you saying "Where's the beef".It is written in a rather sophmoric manner that may only be satisfying to a very very new beginner in the Yoruba religion, or Santeria or a newly initiated person. For practitioners of Ifa, or accomplished practitioners of Santeria or Yoruba's religion, it will leave you longing for more...... much much more.
I hope that this accomplished author will find it in his heart to write more with more substance in the future as I am sure that he is well capable of doing.
This is a book that I would only recommend to a non-Yoruba religion practicing person who is interested in learning BASIC concepts of the religion and it's practices.
