About this listen
Make no mistake, the sacred gods are active. The African continent is home to ancestors, sacred deities, and diverse cultures. Among them is the Yoruba tradition, one of Africa’s most powerful societies. Standing the test of time and thriving against extinction, the Yoruba culture is one of the few African cultures that have crossed the vast oceans and continue to thrive today.
Devotees spend their lives under the sacred guiding influence of these gods and are open to sharing the secrets of Orisha with those who seek knowledge. It is the age of Aquarius, after all.
First, one must understand the Orisha, and that is precisely what this book offers - knowledge and culture preserved in time. This information dives deep into the Yoruba culture, illustrating the history of the Yoruba and the connection to the cosmos.
Prepare to discover:
- The seven highly revered Orishas, including spells and rituals for each
- Lost tales of the Yoruba pantheon
- The path of the Orisha
- Explore the cultural and social impact of the Orishas on melanated beings
- Yorubas and the Orishas' history and relevance to the tribal community
- Hidden purpose of Orisha festivals in Africa
- Mastering the importance of intention
- And much more...
Anyone with pure intentions can connect with the Orisha. Our ancestors are powerful beyond measure. In modern times, such information becomes less and less common. I trust this knowledge will aide you on your journey, and help you become the most powerful version of yourself.

Melanin, a chemical released from the pineal gland of your brain, is the answer to it all. This seemingly magical component of who you are is in many ways the origin of your conscious expansion, and none of it would be possible without the sun! Melanin exists beyond just your own body and can in fact be found in all corners of the universe. It is the driving power that connects all living and nonliving things. The secret that these ancient tribes hold, the one that allows them so much peace and serenity, isn’t actually a secret after all.

Do you often feel deeply invested in the feelings of others, no matter if they’re family or someone you’ve just met? Do you feel drained and overwhelmed because of all the emotional "noise" you pick up when exposed to crowds? Despite being so highly connected with human emotions, do you often feel like a misfit in society…as if you belong somewhere else? If any of the above situations ring true for you, then you’re more than just a human…you’re an empath. But that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you!

Yemaya, queen of the sea, first emerged in Yorubaland (now in modern Nigeria). A primordial deity, considered the mother of all, she is perceived by some to be at the root of numerous ancient goddesses, including Isis.

Hundreds of years ago, the Yoruba people of Nigeria and West Africa were brought to America as slaves. Luckily, they successfully preserved their heritage and ancestral spirits by disguising their deities as Catholic saints. In secret, they worshipped. The result is the new-age religion known as Santería, a blend of Catholicism and African traditional beliefs.

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 36
At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

When is a story more than just a story? When does it become a myth? When it holds a piece of truth about our history, our morality, and the cosmos. Throughout history, humankind has used stories to explain the unknown. From the cycle of the moon to the changing of the seasons, tales about supernatural beings and events have served to account for the purpose of the cosmos. But mythology isn’t entirely fiction. These stories have been passed down for generations for a reason.

Throughout history the world’s greatest conquerors have made their mark not just on the battlefield, but in the societies they have transformed. Genghis Khan conquered by arms and bravery, but he ruled by commerce and religion. He created the world’s greatest trading network and drastically lowered taxes for merchants, but he knew that if his empire was going to last, he would need something stronger and more binding than trade. He needed religion.

Though the world came to know of the Norse and their legends through Roman interaction at about the time of Christ, most of what we came to know were handed-down from folk tales gathered by native writers like Snorri Sturluson (c. 1179 - 1241). This was from a time when the Norse had already been converted to Christianity.

A one-eyed old man, with a gray cloak and a wide-brimmed hat leaning on a staff. A wanderer who appears when least expected, bringing triumph or doom. The god of prophecy, poetry and fate. A shape changer. A sorcerer. The god Odin cuts a dramatic figure in Norse mythology and is still a part of the popular imagination. He is the inspiration for figures like J.R.R. Tolkien's Gandalf the Grey, and he still appears in modern literature as varied as Marvel Comics and Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods.

Hundreds of years ago, the Yoruba people of Nigeria and West Africa were brought to America as slaves. Luckily, they successfully preserved their heritage and ancestral spirits by disguising their deities as Catholic saints. In secret, they worshipped. The result is the new-age religion known as Santería, a blend of Catholicism and African traditional beliefs.

In the realm of African spiritual pathways, no tradition is so widely embraced and practiced as the West African religion Orisa. Awakened by her own spiritual journey, Tobe Melora Correal, an initiated priestess in the Yoruba-Lukumi branch of Orisa, guides us along this blessed road.

Spirituality Before Religions, delves deeply into many ideas researched by many brilliant writers and scholars. My ultimate purpose is to synthesize these writings into a comprehensive study of ancient African Deep Thought with Tep Heseb, the Kemetic (Egyptian) process of accurately reckoning by using the correct method of analysis. This clear and concise philosophy guided early humanity into the heavens on earth, while creating a heaven on earth.

I love the book that I hate her mispronunciation
the book was wonderful and informative, however the mispronunciation of deities and towns and her calling the orisha odisha's really grind my gears if you don't have an accent you should just speak regularly. nice voice but terrible pronunciation that really gets on my nerves when I purchase these books and the people don't really know the real pronunciation that sucks! that took away from the whole experience
