Fundamentals of the Yoruba Religion (Orisa Worship) began with Chief FAMA's early quest for knowledge of the Orisa; her positive experiences, initially, with the officials of Orunmila Temple in Lagos, Nigeria and an opportunity to write for an Orunmila Magazine.
The book has been diligently researched and is an enchanting yet powerful overview of Yoruba religion. It is written in a friendly, readable style and many aspects of Yoruba are discussed. The reader benefits from the author's style of writing; her intimate knowledge of the Yor--b culture, and from her practical experience in the tradition of the religion.
The explanation of the structure and characteristics of the religion is complete enough to offer some new insight to a Priest/Priestess; straight forward enough to stimulate the most intellectually inclined student and at the same time basic enough for any one who has just encountered Yoruba.
