A Mythic Journey Through the Lives of the r ṣ in Sacred Storytelling
by Tilo Pl ger de j g nn
Before the beads, before the prayers, before the altars were built, the Orisha were already whispering-through river songs, windswept roots, lightning strikes, and the silent fire in our chests. THE ORISHA CHRONICLES is not a dictionary of deities or a sterile manual for ritual. It is a living, breathing mythic tapestry-a portal into the world where r ṣ walk, dance, fight, weep, and heal.
Written by best-selling author and respected Babalorisha Tilo Pl ger de j g nn , this book is a lyrical masterpiece that brings the Orisha to life-not through rigid theologies but through timeless storytelling. Rooted in decades of practice, study, and devotion across Brazil, Cuba, Nigeria, and the wider diaspora, Baba Tilo de j g nn has collected thousands of myths, chants, and proverbs, many previously untranslated or hidden in oral traditions. The result is a vibrant retelling of more than 30 r ṣ -not as museum relics, but as breathing forces of nature, emotion, and transformation.
