Sixteen Cowries: Yoruba Divination from Africa to the New World

Libro muy importante sobre el tema , sobre paso mis espectativas

Being a relatively young olorisa, I am excited to deepen the knowledge that has been gifted to me by my iyalorisas. I agree with the reviewers that this text is for those who have come to Sixteen Cowries with some prior, appropriate training. As an anthropological text, this is a masterful work. Again, don't come to this book without training from one's elders... in Lukumi or Anthropology!

This is a very good book i purchase it for some one else he said it doesn't tell you how to cast just the results

book is not for a beginner and you must be initiated to read it

Great information

8/10 of this book are verses. However in despite Bascom had made a greate Job in Ifa Divination, here, I don't agree.The meridilogun is based in Odu interpretation not only in verses. There is no information regard each Odu message, meaning, how to read the signm sub-signs.... If you want to understand how the meridilogun works, it is not here. I can believe people can use this system to use the Oracle, but, if is far from to be the only method. At least in case of this research it is failed. We have some Cuban's book about Meridilogun and I was waiting to find here the african reference (nos diasporic), but, well can't be so diferent.

love it.

Great book. I really enjoed the simplisity of it. Althougt I am new to this the book will be a good addition
