About this story
Healing Ẹsẹ Ifá gathers sixteen healing verses from the Ifá tradition, written down in a Babalawo's own notebook and set here in the Yorùbá with tone marks, each with a close English rendering and a short note on its meaning. These are the ẹsẹ the diviners recite when the sick are brought to Ifá: the herb, the offering, and the word that goes with them. Among them is the verse of Ọ̀bàrà Ìwòrì, the odù of not forgetting, used for Ìsọ̀yè, the strengthening of memory.
The Yorùbá is given as it is spoken in the tradition; the translations are the author's own. A small, plain book to keep beside you, to read aloud, and to learn from.
By Babalawo Ifadahunsi Obafemi.
