After reading its easy to see why this text is understood as a landmark must read. It is well researched and given the limitations of not being a practitioner of the faith I don't really see how one could ask for more from a writer. I very much appreciated the way it locates the Ifa divining practices as a apart of this web of spiritual practices that influence each other as well as the way Bascom filled in the contextual gaps with extensive footnotes. This is an text i would recommend in for those looking to begin developing their understanding of the role divination plays within Ifa. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"The sacred texts of Ifa, repository of the accumulated wisdom of countless generations of Yoruba people, are an invaluable source not only for all students of African oral literature and Yoruba civilization, but also for future generations interested in the continuing vitality of Ifa divination and a Yoruba way of life and thought." --Henry Drewal This landmark study of Ifa, the most important and elaborate system of divination of the Yoruba people of Nigeria, remains a monumental contribution to scholarship in anthropology, folklore, religion, philosophy, linguistics, and African and African-American studies.
