IFA Y Los Orishas (La religion antigua de la naturaleza) es una vision general de la fe afro-cubana. Esta dirigida a todos los que no creen en nuestra fe y a los principiantes de la misma. El lector podra verificar que la naturaleza es el tema central de nuestra religion. Consideramos que cada ser natural, desde los seres vivos hasta los inanimados, tiene una fuerza especial que llamamos ASHE. Esta energia se puede transferir. ASHE se debe respetar, apreciar, proteger y algunas veces entregar a traves del AMOR. IFA Y Los Orishas es el relato de mi viaje espiritual y mucho mas. Se presentan los conceptos primordiales de nuestra religion, asi como la informacion antropologica mas reciente. Ademas, se hace una descripcion de los guardianes de la naturaleza a quienes llamamos los Orishas. Se reviven las lecciones de Yoruba en forma de cuentos cortos denominados Patakis. Se discuten los conceptos religiosos comparativos o lo que mis amigos hindues llaman "formas de vida." CSK (Awo Ogbe Sa).
