Iyere Ifa (Tonal Poetry, the Voice of Ifa) An Exposition of Yoruba Divinational Chants

Excellent treatise on deeper levels of Ifa. For the novice it provides insight into the power of the spoken word and confirms somethings that you may have experienced intermittently and wondered "what was that"? For the Babalawo or Omo-Awo, this book has some key Odus which are necessary for memory (isoye) and power of the word (ofo'se) or manifestation. The Araba provides deep analytical insight to many of the Odus contained in these pages, that is normally only shared after many moons of instruction. I would highly recommend this book to all and sundry.

Personal reasons.
