Summary: Good source of information...
Comment: The Handbook of Yoruba Religion Concepts, by Baba Ifa Karade is a good source of information about the Yourba traditions and ways of life. The Priest/Chief Balba Ifa Karade of Yoruba culture revels his knowledge throughout the book by keeping the reader aware and interested in all aspects of the Yoruba traditions and religion.
While reading "The Handbook of Yoruba Religion" Priest/Chief Balba Ifa Karade keeps the reader well aware and open to change for the betterment of life itself. This book is filled with truths and life advancements to change one's thinking in gaining spirituality.
I grew up with this tradition, thanks for bringing me back!

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.
Customer Rating:
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...
Customer Rating:
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.
