The handbook of Yoruba religious concepts / by Karade, Baba Ifa,author;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 131-132) and index. "Most of the Africans who were enslaved and brought to the Americas were from the Yoruba nation of West Africa, an ancient and vast civilization. In the diaspora caused by the slave trade, the guiding concepts of the Yoruba spiritual tradition took root in Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Brazil, and the United States. In this introduction to the practice, the author provides an overview of the Yoruba tradition and its influence in the West. He describes the 16 Orisha, or spirit gods, and shows us how to work with divination, how to use the energy centers of the body to internalize the teachings of Yoruba, and describes how to create a sacred place of worship"--

Orishas : an introduction to African spirituality and Yoruba religion / by Robinson, Clara(Author at Creek Ridge Publishing),author.;
"Learn about the Yoruba people of Africa, Gods and the different Orishas. The belief system of the Yoruba people, which may have originated millions of years ago in Nigeria, is regarded as one of the oldest religions in the world. It has since gained followers from all over the world, from the Caribbean to North America, and it's easy to see why. Its oral interpretations have piqued the interest of many, ranging from majestic tales of the Orishas to life-changing teachings of reincarnation. And, while it has been modified or intertwined with other world religions everywhere else, this high form of spirituality is still practiced in its original form in Africa." -- Amazon.com.

Soul of the deep / by Bowen, Natasha,author.;
To save those closest to her, Simi traded away everything: her freedom, her family, and the boy she loves. Now she is sworn to serve a new god, watching over the Land of the Dead at the bottom of the ocean. When signs of demons begin to appear, it is clear there are deeper consequences of Simi's trade. These demons spell the world's ruin-- and because of Simi, they now have a way into the human realm. To save the world, Simi must team up with a scheming trickster of a god. And if they succeed, perhaps Simi can also unbreak her heart along the way, and find herself again. -- Ages 14 up.890L
