After William Bascom’s, this volume constitutes a landmark in the research of Ẹ̀rìndílógún, the divination with 16 cowries, and the Yorùbá oral tradition.
A preeminent scholar of Ifá, bàbálórìṣà Síkírù Sàlámì – Bàbá King, Ph.D., has chronicled the sacred repertoire of several Yorùbá bàbálórìṣà and ìyálórìṣà from the Abẹ́òkúta, Ọ̀yọ́, Òṣogbo, Ìbàdàn, Ifẹ̀, and other regions, translated hundreds of odù of Ẹ̀rìndílógún into Portuguese and thoroughly interpreted them, thus providing readers with access to inestimable insights regarding Yorùbá worldview, spirituality, theology, and specifics of their philosophy, all the while focusing on traditional approaches to healing and ritualistic processes.
As the odù of the divination with 16 cowries has such rich interpretive potential, the authors showcase their language expertise, spiritual mastery, and deep historical and cultural familiarity with the subject.
As a communicator and elucidator of Ẹ̀rìndílógún wisdom and knowledge, Sàlámì, together with co-author Maja Mesesnel, makes a pivotal contribution to the preservation and transmission of the traditional Yorùbá knowledge and wisdom. Their work brings the topic closer to òrìṣà priests, priestesses, and devotees, as well as the broader academic and non-academic readership.

Praise
…this masterpiece embodies the wisdom of millennia.
The authors have transmitted the revelations of the Literary Corpus of the odù Ifá with absolute clarity, preserving the ethical principles that give strength to these sacred words.
What an honour, as a priestess, to stand before this boundless living memory.”
…the thoroughness of this book gives me every reason to foresee the following: when UNESCO recognises Òrìṣà Divination as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the quality of this book will stand as the principal evidence that it deserves such recognition.”
…a heritage that should not be regarded as something belonging to the past, but rather as a bond that connects the past to the present and, by extension, to the future and to eternity.”
…I see this book as a gift from Ọ̀rúnmìlà: a foundation for the revelation of the secrets contained within the universe, an authentic sacred map that guides the priest in his mission to understand the human being and to restore the lost bond between the visible and the invisible – while at the same time being a chant, an offering, and a bridge between worlds.”
This book stands as a milestone for humanity.”
… it’s a “must-have” book in the library of every òrìṣà priest or priestess.”
…when I first held the manuscript in my hands, I was struck by its depth and precision. I am convinced that no other work like it exists in the world.”
…this book is a beautiful example of how one’s calling can be transformed into a legacy for humanity.”
…this work offers something without precedent – guidance of rare precision, nourished by a profound exploration of the odù of Ifá.”
…with this work, a part of our journey and mission is crowned: to share this wisdom with people beyond Africa and to safeguard a tool that remains invaluable even to those of us who use it daily to serve others.”
…This work nourishes our need to study seriously what human beings need in order to improve, in accordance with the dictates of their own destinies.”
…As children of àṣẹ, we must strive every day to be great and worthy of the richness of this work, compiled and built over the course of decades.
We, the new generation of priests and priestesses, must bear in mind that we are starting from a standard of excellence. It is our responsibility to continue honouring, preserving and furthering the greatness of this legacy.”
…It is one of those books that, from the very first pages, makes you realise that it was written by someone who truly lives, studies, and respects the tradition.
I am certain that it will be a significant contribution to all those who wish to deepen their knowledge of Ẹ̀rìndílógún and the philosophy of the òrìṣà.”
Although Ẹ̀rìndílógún divination has been part of the liturgical practice of many Afro-diasporic Brazilian religions for many years, we have never before had the opportunity to rely on such a trustworthy and rich source of relevant information as the one that is now in our hands.”
This work brings Bàbá King’s teachings into tangible form and is of great importance for the training of priests and priestesses of the òrìṣà who carry out their spiritual mission with seriousness and responsibility, constituting an exceptional study resource for priestly practice.”
