Beads, Body, and Soul: Art and Light in the Yoruba Universe

Rating:
Summary: A Great Book from an Interesting Exhibit
Review: I bought this book after going to the museum exhibit which it documents. The book is full of useful information about Santeria/Orisha theology and philosophy. The pictures are beautiful. It is worth buying if you have an interest in Regla de Ocha or Yoruba religion and art.

Summary: Amazing book. A must have.
Review: This book is packed with beautiful pictures and info. I loved it. especially the Ochun crown, fan, and ide, made by James Norman. All of the artist in this book should be praised for this amazing art.The exhibit was amazing too. We need more books and exhibits like this. My words can't begin to describe the beautiful orisha beadwork in this book, you really have to see it yourself.
