 Supreme Spiritual Awakening for all "Africans"-in America March 10, 2001
Bro. Cedrick Washington (West Monroe, LA USA)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This important spiritual awakening is necessity for the souls of blacks, in America. Is has a vast amount of history as to how God's power affects nature, man, and spirituality. It sufficiently explains the relationship between Ancient Egypt and the religion of Southern Nigeria, in addition to providing detailed steps, measures, practices, and initiation into the religion. I highly recommend this book to those who seek to grow into a mature relationship with Ifa and their ancesters, etc.

Mr Lucas is influenced by Christianity and has mixed it into his views of Ifa. Good info when sifted well. Eat the meat toss the bones away.
