The return of the gods: the sacred art of Susanne Wenger

Description: Resurgence of Divinity: The Remarkable Journey of Susanne Wenger in Yoruba Religion In "The Return of the Gods: The Sacred Art of Susanne Wenger" by Ulli Beier, readers embark on an illuminating journey into the heart of Yoruba religion. Wenger's narrative unfolds as a testament to the profound interconnectedness between cultures, as she, a white woman, delves deep into the intricacies of the Orisha priesthood. The book delicately weaves Wenger's initiation into the Orisa priesthood with her tireless efforts in resurrecting pivotal Orisa shrines, particularly in Osogbo. Unlike many narratives that often overshadow African heritage with Western perspectives, this book stands out for its reverence and respect for the African roots of Yoruba religion. Wenger's accomplishments are portrayed not as mere individual feats, but as the fruits of her commitment to honoring the directives of her African elders. It's a captivating read that sheds light on Wenger's spiritual growth and the invaluable wisdom she gleaned from her African mentors. Yoruba Religion: Wenger's immersion into the depths of Yoruba spirituality unveils the richness and complexity of this ancient belief system. Orisha Tradition: Through Wenger's journey, readers gain insight into the rituals, practices, and significance of Orisha worship. Cultural Syncretism: The book highlights the fusion of diverse cultural elements, from Yoruba traditions to Western influences, in Wenger's spiritual odyssey. Preservation of Heritage: Wenger's dedication to rebuilding Orisa shrines underscores the importance of preserving and honoring ancestral legacies. Spiritual Mentorship: The role of African elders in guiding Wenger's path reflects the profound impact of intergenerational wisdom in spiritual pursuits.
