Customer Reviews

Love it!

If you can get your hands on this book GET IT!!! its out of print and extremly hard to come by but its a great book on ochun.

Canizares was right on the money!

This book is simply wonderful. Jam packed with lots of information that is not readily or easily obtainable! I recommed this book (without reservation) for anyone interested in the Orishas or the Orisha Movement! Although the book may appear small and useless, don't judge it by it's cover.....it is a great starting place to learn more about your personal Orisha!

Get the Whole Collection, good booklets for the novice

I personally like all of Baba Raul Canizare's booklets on the Orishas, each booklet comes with various Patikis "Orisha Mythology and Legends" Songs, Chants, and Prayers. These booklets are a collection of the most popular Orishas as worshipped in the Orisha tradition of Lucumi. They are just booklets, and are good for the novice in the religion, or those who are curious about a certain Orisha. Worth the $$$. Check out the whole collection.
