I bought this book as a gift for a friend who wants to introduce her daughter to the spirituality of her ancestors. She says that it is very good, even though she finds the names of some of the Orishas difficult to pronounce. She recommends it to anyone looking to get a better idea of African Spirituality before other belief systems were forced on them.
