Product Description

Among the Yoruba and others who speak its language, a significant predicament has persisted since the colonial era and arrival of missionaries. Many people, essentially from the Abrahamic religions, either on purpose or not, have erroneously equated Esu, an Orisa in Yorubaland with Satan. It is imperative to clarify that such an equation is fundamentally flawed. Hence, the primary purpose of this book is to discover our Yorubanity–essence of being a Yoruba; explore and understand the Yoruba indigenous practices and worldview; discern the person and true essence of Esu within Yoruba Indigenous Religion and differentiate its identity from the concept of Satan in the Abrahamic religions.
