Ìyàmi-Àjé Our Mothers: Owners of the Womb of the World

By: Cuoco, Alex

In y mi- j Our Mothers: Owners of the Womb of the World, author Alex Cuoco shares forty stories of the powerful Yoruba sorceresses y mi- j , from how they created the world to how they continue to use their powers to benefit humanity.

Speaking directly to those descended from the peoples of West Africa, Cuoco shares what he learned from studying Yoruba Indigenous and traditional religious cultures for forty-five years, including seventeen years living and traveling in West Africa and throughout the African continent. Beyond the y mi- j , Cuoco covers topics related to the use of sacred leaves, divination, sacred trees, birds, and the Orisha gods.

He does this to combat the large amount of misleading information on the internet about the y mi- j and to help readers understand the true nature of West African rituals and worship practices, based on his own firsthand experiences of them.
