Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Hope in Odu Ifa - A Journey Through the Sixteen OduThemes Across Odu Ifa - Virtues SeriesWhat does Ifa actually teach about hope when the rent is due, the test results are bad, the protests have lost momentum, or the marriage feels finished? This volume in the Themes Across Odu Ifa series takes one human theme-hope-and walks it through all Sixteen Major Odu, from Ogbe's first light to Ofun's white horizon. Each chapter opens the "house" of a single Odu, then moves through key mixed Odu (Ogbe-Oyeku, Oyeku-Irosun, Irosun-Oturupon, Oe-Ofun, and many more) to show how hope actually moves in that sign: when it is commanded, when it is dangerous, when it must be surrendered, and when it must be stubborn.Here hope is not a mood. It is a spiritual technology: how Ori, Oria, ancestors, and community rearrange reality when a person dares to sit before the mat. The voice is that of a working Babalawo-pastoral, exact, grounded in the canonical corpus, with clear signals whenever he steps from citation into interpretation.What this book gives youHope in Ifa is not "everything will be fine." It is: if you do this, if you leave that, if you align here, the story can still be otherwise. This book shows you, Odu by Odu, how that works: Under Ogbe, hope is first light and second chance-blocked futures opening, death postponed so destiny can finish its work.Under Oyeku, the grave becomes a womb-hope for the dead, for endings, for migrations and exiles that look like pure loss.Under Iwori, hope arrives as a question: What if the story I tell about myself is wrong-and that's good news?Under Ogunda, hope is surgical: the courage to confront illness, conflict, or systems that only change when iron is applied.Under Osa, hope learns discernment-how to trust visions, secrets, and "messages from the feed" without being devoured by paranoia or cults.Under Ika, hope has teeth: boundaries, interventions, "we need to talk" moments that hurt but save.Under Oturupon, hope survives disappointment and spiritual exhaustion-the moment after miracles fail to arrive on schedule.Under Otura and Irete, hope becomes responsibility: rewriting life's script and finally acting on blessings already given.Under Oe and Ofun, hope ripens into joy and mercy-festivals that keep the world from burning, and a white horizon where compassion has the last word.Throughout, the book keeps an urban lens. It reads Odu against burnout, migration, racism, depression, precarious work, online shame campaigns, and collective trauma, without ever turning Ifa into pop psychology. You learn how to use Ogunda when a tough email must be sent, Osa when dealing with hidden enemies and algorithms, Ika when cutting ties to abuse, Oturupon when faith has gone grey, Ofun when death and aging move into the room.Who this is forDevotees and students of Ifa/Oria across the diaspora (Lukumi/Santeria, Candomble, ATR) who want to understand what ireti (hope) really is in odu logic.Readers wrestling with burnout, grief, activism fatigue, illness, or midlife reorientation who need a theology of hope that does not insult their intelligence.Counselors, chaplains, therapists, and community leaders seeking African spiritual tools for working with despair, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and collective trauma.Philosophically inclined readers who love Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Sim Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
