nope. Not so. People here tend to tip-toe around spiritual matters is all.

Here's my List:

-The Core of Fire: A Path to Yoruba Spiritual Activism
-The Way of Orisa: Empowering Your Life Through the Ancient African Religion of Ifa
-Finding Soul on the Path of Orisa: A West African Spiritual Tradition
-Reclaiming African Religions in Trinidad: The Socio-Political Legitimation of the Orisha and Spiritual Baptist Faiths
-Spirits, Blood, and Drums: The Orisha Religion in Trinidad
-Praising His Name In The Dance
-Haile Sellassie and the Opening of the Seven Seals

I try to get the ISBN numbers for the books I need from amazon and then check half.com where they tend to be cheaper than other places.

Those two books go into the history of how the beliefs were formed in Trinidad. VERY good historical reference considering everyone I speak to about it (who isn't afiliated directly with it) have such negative views about it.

That sounds very interesting, something def to look into. I remember some time aback, looking for material on the religion on a whole esp with respect to trindad, and it was very limited.
Do any of them make reference to Ms Molly Ah _ _ ( I am not sure of her correct surname)?
