Step into a world where gods walk with humanity, storms speak with purpose, and rivers hold the power of life itself. Few people know that long before Christianity and Islam shaped Africa, powerful spiritual systems already flourished systems that explained creation, guided justice, and carried communities through centuries of struggle and triumph. These myths were never lost. They survived across oceans, hidden in rituals, songs, and sacred practices that remain alive today. In African Mythology: Forgotten Gods and Sacred Practices of the Ancient World, Sarah Lambert brings the Orishas to life in vivid detail. From Shango's thunder to Oshun's sweet waters, from Obatala's wisdom to Yemoja's nurturing embrace, these stories reveal not only the power of ancient gods but also the resilience of the people who carried them through slavery, diaspora, and oppression.
