The Handbook of Yoruba Religious Concepts by Baba Ifa Karade is a foundational introduction to the spiritual philosophy and practices of the Yoruba tradition. Karade outlines the cosmology centered around Olodumare, the supreme creator, and the Orisha, divine forces that guide human destiny and character. The book explains key concepts like àṣẹ (spiritual power), iwa-pele (balanced character), and the role of divination through Ifá and the use of tools like the opele and ikin. It also provides practical guidance on rituals, offerings, and the creation of sacred space, making the tradition accessible to practitioners in the diaspora. Ultimately, Karade presents Yoruba religion as a living, ethical system rooted in ancestral wisdom, personal transformation, and harmony with the divine.
