Patakines and fondation of Ifá

Patakines and fondation of Ifá

The present volume begins this way, which submerges us in that universe of traditions bearing an invaluable testimonial value, repositories of solid documental support (they have been extracted from books of Ifá), where the reader will be able to find wisdom, depth ideas, useful advice, interpretation of the ancestral issue; a very peculiar philosophy of life; the discovery of a substantial and rich African custom, which is the le-gacy of the Cuban culture and, also, the review that many of the deities of such a religion wanted to bequeath us through their earthly links and their connections, here, in the earth.
