Inhalt:

??? is without a doubt, the most fascinating, astute and unpredictable of all Yor?b? Orishas. Central to Yor?b? Orisha religion, ??? is known as a divine messenger who is a mediator between man, the Orishas and the Supreme God Ol?d?mar?-?l??run. He is also known as an instigator of intrigues and trickster Orisha. In this collection of tales, ??? takes center stage, as the main protagonist, where the reader will experience two sides of this enigmatic Orisha: the good and the bad, which are presented in a spirited form. Tales of ???: Yor?b? Divine Messenger and trickster Orisha are stories based on the African Yor?b? oral tradition of storytelling, which portrays the escapades and folly of this divine Orisha, utilizing a modern touch and simple language. ???, as the first Orisha, is well-worshipped and extremely respected in Yor?b?land because he is literally present in everything; in nature, in objects and in the physical human body. For this reason, ??? is present in the majority of stories related to an infinite number of topics, as well as his relationship with the other Orishas in the Yor?b? pantheon. In this collection, Alex Cuoco presents 80 fascinating ??? tales that are retold with great skill and rhythm, in which ??? appears at his best, in various forms: as a trickster, messenger, instigator, officer and enforcer of the laws of ?run (Heaven), as well as moderator, master-punisher, advisor, mediator, helper and administrator. The variety of themes of these tales affords the reader an acquaintance with the good and mischievous aspects of ???. The reader will also experience ???'s sexual appetite and unusual sense of humor, which when combined, become a prominent aspect of ???'s explosive and surprising personality. In this manner, Tales of ??? offers the reader the opportunity to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of ???'s character and his divine ??? (Power). This editio
