From The Emese

Emese Library

This section of the website is devoted to information that has come directly from the Emese and the Isoro Traditional Council of Chiefs, the absolute authority of the Ifa Tradition of Orisa and Ancestor Worship and the Repository of the Ifa Corpus. The lessons in this library are edited only for grammar and formatting. These are the words of the Council authorized by the Emese. You are invited to email your questions or comments to me so that I may present them to the Emese for the sacrosanct answers from the Source.
