Description
African Poems: A Praise Anthology to Yorùbá Orishas, Rituals, Traditions and Wisdom This collection of 317 poems presents a wealth of information on Yorùbá Òrìṣà religious beliefs in a poetic form. The book is part of the African Poems Series, which aims to preserve the Yorùbá oral tradition of Oríkì and keep it alive in the face of modern digital technology. The anthology is divided into eight chapters, with the first chapter, "Praise to the Orishas", being the most extensive. It provides portraits of poetic praises based on traditional Yorùbá Oríkì to different Òrìṣà, divinities of the Yorùbá pantheon. This unique blend of poetry and Yorùbá culture offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Yorùbá Òrìṣà. By exploring this anthology, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the Yorùbá tradition and its significance in African culture.
