📢 Goethe-Institut Nigeria proudly presents the book “Who’s Who in the Yoruba Pantheon”:

Written by Peju Akande, Toni Kan, Jahman Anikulapo, and accompanied with illustrations 🖼 by visual artist Abdulkareem Baba Aminu, this book is full of facts and fun – and will provide you with all you need to know about Who’s Who in the Yorùbá Pantheon.

Learn more about powerful Yemọja, goddess strong Sàngó, Ọṣun’s ways of wisdom – and why Èsù most definitely is not Satan!

Each chapter📙 provides information about the origin, the characteristics, the symbols and the devotees of each individual òrìṣa and tells a story from their diverse lives – about love, jealousy, fights and shape-shifting. In their signature entertaining and educational way, Toni Kan, Peju Akande and Jahman Anikulapo dispel colonial preconceptions about local spirituality.

This book is realised by Iwalewabooks, a publishing house for art and discourse, and by the Goethe-Institut Lagos . In Lagos, the book is available at Bloom Art, Quintessence, Ouida Books, Jazzhole and Terra Kulture. Internationally via http://www.iwalewabooks.com
