Summary: Great intro to Ifa
Comment: I bought this book about 5 years ago and have loved it ever since. This is one of those rare gems among all the "new age" stuff flooding the market. Baba Ifa Karade has given the reader the basics of Ifa in a straight foward no nonsense fashion. There are several great black and white photos through out the book, as well as some great correspondance tables. I would have liked a little more information on Oshosi, but other than that, it's a truly wonderful book. Ase Baba Ifa Karade.

Summary: Straightforward, good beginner information
Comment: This is actually a pretty good book for those first entering the realm of the Yoruba religion. It has some good straightforward beginner information.
I don't agree with every aspect of this book however - as I dont see the need to constantly compare our religion to others, our elemental energies to chakras, etc. But simply because I don't agree with everything included does not change the fact that it is a good Yoruba primer.

Summary: Very light book... don't recommend it
Comment: This book has nothing to offer, except for those of you who now nothing about Orisha Tradition, and are curious. Otherwise don't waste your time and money...

Summary: In the True Tradition of Spiritual Growth
Comment: Ifa Karade has taken the intrigue and desire for power and prestige out of the mix. He reminds us that indigenous faiths are about spiritual evolution, not personal manipulation.
This book is straightforward, "forward thinking", and spiritually challenging. Its not a rehash of every book before it. It serve a unique place and quiet as kept, more than a few "old school" devotees would do well to let go of their egos and read the book. It has serious intentions written in a welcoming and light tone. Ase to Baba Ifa Karade. A Classic book on the religion.
