In this book, the late Dr. Louis Djisovi Ikukomi Eason offers a combination of personal, historical and solicitous accounts on Ifa, the Yoruba divination deity. Using sites in Nigeria and the United States, he reveals various aspects of the religious practices and festivals that are associated with this important deity. As he narrates his first-hand observations and insertions into the inner sanctuaries of divination, he offers remarkable insights on ancient elements of Ifá worship and practices in Ilé Ifè and their contemporary rebirth among African Americans who successfully turned the Oyotunji Village into a powerful religious space.
