Ewé Òsain: The Working Book

Awon Ewe Osanyin — the sacred plants of Osanyin, the Yoruba Orisha of botanical wisdom and forest medicine.

This comprehensive illustrated compendium documents the complete botanical canon of the Yoruba sacred tradition as recorded by master herbalists and Babalawos. Each plant entry includes its Yoruba name, botanical identification, Orisha correspondence, ritual application, and ceremonial context within Ifá practice.

The Verger system of plant-Odu correspondences is preserved here in full — each herb mapped to the specific Odu of Ifá that governs its use, making this an indispensable reference for Babalawos, Iyanifas, and devotees of the Yoruba tradition worldwide.

Part of the Nubala Ifá Library — restoring the sacred knowledge of West Africa for practitioners, scholars, and seekers of authentic African spiritual tradition.
