Yoruba Mythology: A Tapestry of Creation, Meaning, and Transformation
Deep within the heart of Yoruba culture lies a rich tapestry of myths that have been passed down through generations, weaving tales of creation, meaning, and transformation.

This book delves into the depths of Yoruba mythology, examining the intricate relationships between its pivotal deities, heroes, and ancestors.

Our journey into Yoruba myth leads us to a deeper understanding of human consciousness itself. The myths serve as a mirror, reflecting the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche.

By comparing the Yoruba worldview with the teachings of Christianity, Buddhism, and other major religions, you will gain a deeper appreciation for the universal truths that transcend cultural and religious boundaries.
