Olodumare

An essential encyclopedia of the tradition of the Afro-Cuban Santeria religion. Written by Afro-Cuban scholar Lázaro Pedroso (Ogun Tola), this volume informs the daily practice of Santeria religion, and catalogues the West African orishas as they are recognized in Cuba today, including their stories, their songs and prayers, their numbers for purposes of divination, their colors, their favorite foods, the plants associated with each orisha and much more.
