For those who wish to decolonize their minds, particularly Black women, comes a thoughtful guide to ancestral veneration, with a focus on the importance of reclaiming African Spiritual practices as an act of liberation.

In today's world, there's a notable resurgence in spiritual exploration that diverges from the mainstream New Age culture. People are seeking clarity that aligns with their own ancestral lineage, and ancestral veneration has emerged as a powerful avenue to navigate life's complexities. For Black communities, this resurgence represents a reclamation of hope for the diaspora.

In this book, Ifa and Orisa priestess Ehime Ora shares the importance of connection to the ancestors, and to oneโ€™s spiritual roots. Thereโ€™s a certain type of radical healing that takes place when we reconnect to our ancestral veneration and follow through with their wisdom.

Providing healing through the written word, Ehime walks you though the reclamation of African Spiritual practices, discussing the spiritual renaissance occurring in the African community, and includes interviews with elders of the rich traditions. She also provides tangible spiritual tools so that you can incorporate ancestral veneration in your life: how to properly set up and work with an ancestral altar, the importance of spiritual hygiene, and bringing forth the concept of the ori, or the higher self.

Ehime Ora (she/they), also known as Iya Ifawole Sangodosu Erinfunto Adeola, is a Nigerian writer, artist, and priestess of the Ifa & Orisa tradition. Ora is initiated into the societies of Ifa, Sango, and Erinle and is titled as an Iyanifia and Iyalorisa respectively. Ora was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, to a Sabonggida-Ora father and Urhobo mother and immigrated to the States at a young age, essentially growing up in the diaspora. Utilizing mediums of art such as writing, Ora creates captivating content that heals, elevates, and inspires the soul. She is grounded in her purpose of reconnecting others back to themselves as an educator of African Spirituality and holistic wellness. Through her creations, she facilitates tangible joy and spiritual well-being within her communities.
