Patakin: Orisha Stories from the Odu of Ifa

is a good book that show the legend or patakies of the orishas and help us to understand and interpret the significates of the odduns of Ifa.

Very informative

The research done on this book is nothing short of amazing. This book is a must read to understand the vibrant and rich culture of the traditions practiced by so many and that have fascinated newcomers. Lukumi and Ifa were oral traditions in the past so many stories have been lost to antiquity. I’m grateful that these stories/apatakis are being written down for posterity.

I was recommended to buy this book and I cannot tell you how wonderful this is!! Beautifully written and easy to read. Perfect for those who are finding themselves interested in the religion. A huge thank you to the author, David H. Brown!

David Brown's "Patakin" continues to be an invaluable resource, offering deep insights and comprehensive information that resonate with readers seeking to understand and connect with their heritage. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the rich traditions and stories of the Orisha religion. Brown's writing is both accessible and profound, making complex concepts understandable without losing the depth and nuance of the subject matter. His meticulous research and respectful portrayal of the Orisha deities and their associated pataki’s (stories) provide a rich tapestry of cultural and spiritual wisdom. Ashé!

Very interesting
