- Summary:
- This work presents eighteen orishas from the Yoruba tradition, exploring their symbolic meanings and the forces they represent, such as joy, justice, love, life, death, and rebirth. Reginaldo Prandi interprets the myths and characteristics of these deities, highlighting their relationship with human subjectivity and the teachings they offer. The result of decades of research and the author's interaction with terreiros (Afro-Brazilian religious centers) and universities, the book brings the reader closer to the mythology of the orishas and their cultural and spiritual importance, engaging both those who believe and those who seek to understand these traditions.
