"There is something powerful about having a substantive guide that offers a thorough foundation of this beautifully transforming religion for the neophyte seeker and, dare I say, learned devotees as well. I am delighted to say that in The Ifa Handbook, Iya A. Ifayomi Stanton has more than accomplished the task destiny has given her....I highly recommend this amazing work to the seeker who feels called to an African Traditional Religion and desires a clear understanding of what the religion entails, especially as they discern which pathway they may be called to pursue. The Ifa Handbook is also a strong addition for the devotee or initiate who wishes to deepen, refresh, and add to the learning gathered over the years, the kind of learning that sustains and strengthens faith, practice, and character."
—Jeanetta "EsuTolokun" Shorter, Lukumi Priestess

"With great intellect, authority, insight, aplomb and grace, A. Ifayomi Stanton has written a book that is a gift for everyone interested in indigenous African traditions, religion and spirituality. The Ifa Handbook is a beautiful amalgamation of personal story and deep research. I highly recommend this jewel of a book. It will make a significant contribution to your spiritual library."
—Priestess Stephanie Rose Bird, author of 365 Days of Hoodoo

"As a practicing Iyanifa and Iyalorisa in the Isese tradition, this handbook rekindled the excitement I felt when I first began my journey with Ifa while offering a refreshing return to its foundational principles. Thoughtfully written for people of the African diaspora, particularly African Americans, it bridges ancestral wisdom with practical everyday application, making Ifa both accessible to beginners and deeply enriching for seasoned practitioners."
—Iyanifa Iyalorisa Iya Abiye Rhema Ifajoke Love, founder and chief priestess of Awo Lonile Ifa-Orisa Temple

"Priestess Ifayomi offers a true treasure with The Ifa Handbook. Yes, it is absolutely brimming with expansive knowledge, engaging stories, and practical application, but those aren't my favorite parts. What I love most is that every word is filled with kindness. This book feels like a warm hug. You can feel the tenderness and compassion. Ifayomi is not trying to impress us, or force her beliefs on anyone. She is just sharing what has worked for her, while inviting us to continue our own journeys. The Ifa Handbook is thorough, genuine, and will transform many people's lives who are longing to reconnect to the wisdom of our ancestors."
—Obari Adeye Cartman, PhD, author of Black Spirituality: Ancient Wisdom to Heal Generational Trauma

"More than a book, this work is an offering, brought forth from personal experience, deep study and the faithful practice of our dear sister and friend A. Ifayomi Stanton. It is a well of information that one can draw from to enhance their practice and sheds light on major concepts and underlying principles of Ifa and Orisa practice in a way that is easily understood.
