Hidden within the mysterious Afro-Cuban religion commonly referred to as Santeria, there is an even deeper body of secrets and rituals known as Ifa, practised by a group of priests known as babalawos, or Fathers of the Secret. Babalawo, Santeria's High Priests pulls away the veil of secrecy surrounding Ifa to reveal exactly what Afro-Cuban Ifa is and how and why it works.
This book is an in-depth look at the most secretive branch of Santeria as seen through the eyes of an insider: a babalawo with more than 16 years of experience living and working Ifa in both the United States and Cuba.
