Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and fascinating religious and political systems of the Yoruba people of West Africa. The author explores the Yoruba belief system through the lens of their creation myths, focusing on the role of deities like Orishala and Yemuhu. Through detailed accounts of sacred stones at Ife, the religious capital of Yorubaland, the author reveals how the Yoruba connect their ancestors with the natural world. The book also investigates Yoruba death and burial customs, revealing the significance of ancestral spirits and the rituals surrounding them. The author explores the role of secret societies, like the Ogboni, in Yoruba society, highlighting their political and social influence. This book provides insight into the complex interplay between religion, politics, and daily life within Yoruba culture, offering a unique perspective on how a pre-colonial African society organized itself. The book's detailed descriptions and analysis of the Yoruba worldview and practices offer a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the rich cultural heritage of this vibrant people. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
