Bascom's knowledge is inmense !!!
This is an absolutely must have for any students or followers of the Yoruba religion and culture. William Bascom has done an excellent job of bringing out Ifa verses and patakis in this book.

The information he has learned from so many years of his Anthropological studies in Nigeria have proven to be an inmense source of knowledge and wisdom on the subject. Comparing this book to others written on the subject matter, there is no comparision !

All of Bascom's work is phenominal .

Complete guide for the Babalorisha or Iyalorisha
Once again Awo William Bascom will live forever. This book is an excellent book to help facilitate the learning of Eerindinlogun(Cowrie Divination)system.It is LOADED with information that the non-practioner,Awo's,Babalorisha,Iyalorisha,and even Babalawos would appreciate.

Extremadamente interesante
El libro contiene una información increible sobre el facinante mundo de la interpretación de los caracoles. Es muy complejo para un principiante; pero para el que desea realmente información como practicante de La Religión este libro es invaluable.
