The power, understanding the significant and mysterious roles of women in Ifa Orisa (Yoruba) tradition. 2. That women subjugation or domination by men is not only alien to Yoruba, but also has no basis in Yoruba religion. 3. That the Yoruba places more emphasis on the state of perfectly or harmoniously aligned position with all creatures by considering the micro and macro nature, state and tendencies of everything all the time. 4. The different rites of passages and their importance in Yoruba religion especially Ifa initiation for both sexes in addition to learning Ifa texts and leading or partaking in all Ifa rituals except seeing odu by women. 5. The distinct, mutually beneficial and complimentary roles of an Iyanifa and a babalawo. This book has become a very valuable addition to our family library and is worth reading repeatedly.
