Èṣù is Not Satan: Exploring the Indigenous Yorùbá Worldview

By Israel Ayanwuyi

Among the Yor b and others who speak its language, a significant predicament has persisted since the colonial era and arrival of missionaries. Many people, essentially from the Abrahamic religions, either on purpose or not, have erroneously equated ṣ , an r ṣ in Yor b land with Satan.
It is imperative to clarify that such an equation is fundamentally flawed. Hence, the primary purpose of this book is to discover our Yor b nity-essence of being a Yoruba; explore and understand the Yor b indigenous practices and worldview; discern the person and true essence of ṣ within Yor b Indigenous Religion and differentiate its identity from the concept of Satan in the Abrahamic religions.
