<p><strong>The personal guardian spirit of the Dahomean Fa tradition, taught in the teacher's own voice.</strong></p><p>The Joto is drawn from a live teaching session by Oluwo Ason Gbehazin Ajinaku: what the Joto is, how it is identified for a person, and how it is served once known. The material has been compiled and edited by Dawiyd Ali El, kept deliberately close to the spoken original rather than reshaped into an essay.</p><p>It is a short text and it is meant to be. The teaching is specific, it was given as it stands, and padding it would cost more than it added.</p><p>For students of Fa, Vodun, and the Dahomean lineages. Part of the Maupoil Fa Library.</p>
