Book Description
Shango came over to America in the hearts of his devotees. They did not choose to make the middle passage, but many of them survived it because they had Shango's example of one who could beat any odds and make any situation advantageous; Shango exemplifies the Philosophy of "When Life Throws Lemons at You, Make Lemonade." His capacity to adapt, to break with old modes, to be individualistic and iconoclastic, makes shango a perfect divinity for the new world, for all of these are traits that have helped us survive and thrive. It is in this spirit that I brazenly claim shango as our beloved paradigm. The most popular orisha in America.
Book Description
Au sein du foisonnant panthéon yoruba, Shango est l'une des divinités les plus puissantes il incarne une force de la nature redoutable qui frappe avec la foudre et les météorites. A la fois homme, roi et force de la nature, il est un support particulièrement complexe de la pensée yoruba au Bénin et au Nigeria, entre énergie et équilibre. Dans le cadre de son culte, les fidèles s'entourent d'objets à la symbolique remarquable. Le oshe, bâton orné d'une double hache, est le plus varié de tous : tenu en main lors de la danse de possession, il prolonge le bras et les gestes de celui qui le tient et les met en valeur par son esthétique raffinée, parfois très descriptive, ou au contraire très abstraite. Il concourt à affirmer par sa beauté et sa diversité la magnificence de l'autel où se répandent offrandes alimentaires et libations. Cet ouvrage restitue la richesse du patrimoine matériel et de la pensée d'Afrique, à travers de nombreux chefs-d'oeuvre inédits.
