Although a great deal has been written to
introduce the public to Ifa and Orisa ritual,
ceremony and liturgy, very little detailed and
specific work on obi divination has appeared
in print. This guide, is a rare offering that
brings obi divination to the interested
audience in a comprehensive, yet easy to
understand format. It is a work of many
years of research by an author who has
been a devotee and student of the tradition
for more than 20 years. This guide contains
simple, yet important information, which
include the cultural background and types of
divination systems associated with obi in
West Africa. I am confident that you have
found in these pages valuable teachings,
worthy of repeating and applying to your
practice.
