Diloggún Tales of the Natural World

Discover the rich spiritual world of the Yoruba through Diloggun Tales of the Natural World, a mesmerizing collection of more than 40 patakís—sacred myths and stories—that illuminate the mysteries of nature and the cosmos. From the waxing and waning of the moon to solar and lunar eclipses, from shooting stars to the origins of animals and birds, each story reveals the deep philosophies, metaphysics, and theology of the Yoruba people. Reassembled from the oral tradition of the African diaspora, these tales bring centuries of wisdom into a form both coherent and magical, showing how the natural world is intertwined with the divine.

Comparable in depth and significance to the myths of ancient Greece and Rome, the parables of the Torah, or the teachings of the Hindu Vedas, these stories shine with timeless cultural and spiritual insight. They demonstrate that the Yoruba and Lucumí traditions cultivated profound understandings of the world around them, preserved through generations in sacred oral teachings and the divination system of the diloggun. Authored by Ócha'ni Lele, a master of Santería and Palo Mayombe who dedicated his life to preserving the hidden wisdom of Orisha worship, this book is a gateway to the mysteries of the natural world as seen through the eyes of one of Africa’s most powerful spiritual lineages.

Diloggun Tales of the Natural World — where myth, nature, and spirituality converge in stories as alive and relevant today as they were centuries ago.
