<p><strong>Àṣẹ is the power to make a word become a thing. This is a teaching on how that power is conferred, carried, and used.</strong></p><p>Every prayer ends with it and few books explain it. This volume treats àṣẹ as the tradition treats it: as authority that is transmitted, not assumed. How it is conferred in Ifá. Why sacrifice is the mechanism that moves it. How the living force of creation travels in speech, in the Odù, and in the hands of those initiated to use it.</p><p>Written for initiates and serious students who have heard the word all their lives and want the doctrine underneath it, from the Ifá tradition rather than around it.</p><p>Part of the Nubala Ifá Library.</p>
