Orisha Chronicles: A Mythic Journey Through the Lives of the Òrìṣà in Sacred Storytelling

A Mythic Journey Through the Lives of the Òrìṣà in Sacred Storytelling
by Tilo Plöger de Àjàgùnnà

Before the beads, before the prayers, before the altars were built, the Orisha were already whispering-through river songs, windswept roots, lightning strikes, and the silent fire in our chests. THE ORISHA CHRONICLES is not a dictionary of deities or a sterile manual for ritual. It is a living, breathing mythic tapestry-a portal into the world where Òrìṣà walk, dance, fight, weep, and heal.

Written by best-selling author and respected Babalorisha Tilo Plöger de Àjàgùnnà, this book is a lyrical masterpiece that brings the Orisha to life-not through rigid theologies but through timeless storytelling. Rooted in decades of practice, study, and devotion across Brazil, Cuba, Nigeria, and the wider diaspora, Baba Tilo de Àjàgùnnà has collected thousands of myths, chants, and proverbs, many previously untranslated or hidden in oral traditions. The result is a vibrant retelling of more than 30 Òrìṣà-not as museum relics, but as breathing forces of nature, emotion, and transformation.
