Knowing The Orisha Gods & Goddesses

This beautifully illustrated exploration of Afro-Brazilian spirituality introduces you to the gods of the African diaspora known as the Orishas. Presented in a fun and easy-to-understand format, Knowing the Orishas provides brief descriptions of twenty important deities, highlighting their talents, characteristics, and customs as well as where they live, how they dress, the foods they like to eat, and more.

Meet Omolu, the god of health and life. Share secrets with Iyewa, goddess of beauty and mystery. Ask Oshoguian, the warrior of peace, for protection. A vital reference to each Orisha, this book helps you identify and build relationships with them as you travel on your own spiritual path.

A Note from PRME: We curate our books from amazing authors and practitioners from within the practices and cultures they share and speak their wisdom from. Please be mindful when purchasing books in which closed practices are at the forefront. We encourage learning about diverse range of cultures and spiritual practices, but recognize that though we can read about them, when a practice is closed, it is vital that we honour that.
