Item description from the seller

Who’s Who in the Yorùbá Pantheon wishes to inspire young people to learn about the spiritual and cultural significance of the sixteen òrìṣas that were selected by the Nigerian experts Prof. Wale Adeniran, Chief Priest Ifayemi Elebuibon, Oloye Muraina Oyelami, Oludamola Adebowale, Emma Uduma, and Yinka Akanbi. Each chapter is about one òrìṣa, beautifully illustrated by the well-known Nigerian illustrator Abdulkareem Baba Aminu, presenting the gods and goddesses as strong, beautiful characters with comic-style features.

Each chapter provides information about the origin, the characteristics, the symbols, and the devotees of each individual òrìṣa and tells a story from their diverse lives – about love, jealousy, fights, and shape-shifting. In their signature entertaining and educational way, Toni Kan, Peju Akande, and Jahman Anikulapo dispel colonial preconceptions about local spirituality.
