Summary: Too many verses too few informtions
Review: 8/10 of this book are verses. However in despite Bascom had made a greate Job in Ifa Divination, here, I don't agree.
The meridilogun is based in Odu interpretation not only in verses. There is no information regard each Odu message, meaning, how to read the signm sub-signs.... If you want to understand how the meridilogun works, it is not here. I can believe people can use this system to use the Oracle, but, if is far from to be the only method. At least in case of this research it is failed. We have some Cuban's book about Meridilogun and I was waiting to find here the african reference (nos diasporic), but, well can't be so diferent.

Summary: Extremadamente interesante
Review: El libro contiene una información increible sobre el facinante mundo de la interpretación de los caracoles. Es muy complejo para un principiante; pero para el que desea realmente información como practicante de La Religión este libro es invaluable.

Summary: Brilliant the Best.
Review: One of the Most Brilliant Writers of the Orisha of modern day, Awo William Bascom has written some of the greatest books of Orisha and Yoruba Religion and Spirituality of our times. All of his books are destined to be classic in Orisha Literature.

16 Cowries as all his books are a must have for all young babalorishas and iyalorishas, and for the young Iyawo ask your godparents what there opinion is on this book, and I am sure you will get a good response. Of the few books of Merinndilloggun this has to be the best, in fact all of Awo Bascoms books blow away all the other books on the same subject. I highly recommend all the young Aborishas, and Iyawo, to check out his works. They are all a wealth of information and should be in every ones Library. Awo William Bascom has written some of the best books of Orisha Spirituality.

Summary: Complete guide for the Babalorisha or Iyalorisha
Review: This is an absolutely must have for any students or followers of the Yoruba religion and culture. William Bascom has done an excellent job of bringing out Ifa verses and patakis in this book.

The information he has learned from so many years of his Anthropological studies in Nigeria have proven to be an inmense source of knowledge and wisdom on the subject. Comparing this book to others written on the subject matter, there is no comparision !

All of Bascom's work is phenominal .
