Osogbo : Speaking to the Spirits of Misfortune
Language: English
Published by Inner Traditions/Bear & Company Mär 2014, 2014
ISBN 10: 1620550989 ISBN 13: 9781620550984
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Misfortune works in this world as living vibrant spirits--known in the Santería and Lucumí faith as Osogbo--that plague humanity but are also a catalyst for self-development and conscious evolution. Beginning with the story of his goddaughter's miraculous recovery from stage IV cancer, Ócha'ni Lele explains how Osogbo tries to bring us down and how if we follow the prescriptions of the Orishas we can overcome misfortune and bring ourselves back to health and balance. Exploring the Lucumí beliefs regarding Osogbo, he shows that the Lucumí faith is neither fatalistic nor defeatist but healing and life affirming. He shares more than 40 patakís--stories stemming from the ancient Yoruba of West Africa--about the different spirits of Osogbo, who like the Orishas once walked the earth in human bodies. He explains the place of these spirits within the 256 odu of the diloggún, the divination system used in Santería to receive guidance from the Orishas. Lele shows that the spirits of Osogbo are not only concepts but also real deities and that we can, if we understand their nature, fight them through ebó, sacrifice, and hard work. He reveals how Osogbo sees itself as one who stands against life and all that is good in the world, but in truth it is misfortune that strengthens us, misfortune that motivates us, and misfortune that brings great evolution to the world. As the author shows, 'Without bitterness, one could not know sweetness.' Likewise, without misfortune in our lives, we would never know blessings or what it means to be blessed.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What role might the Devil have in health and illness The Devil is Disorder explores constructions of the body, health, illness and wider misfortune in a Trinidadian village where evangelical Christianity is growing in popularity. Based on long-term ethnography and locating the village in historical and global context, the book takes a nuanced cosmological approach to situate evangelical Christian understandings as shaping and being shaped by their context and, in the process, shaping individuals themselves. As people move from local to global subjects, health here stretches beyond being a matter of individual bodies and is connected to worldwide flows and networks, spirit entities, and expansive moral orders.
