Babalu Aye: The Healer King: The Ancient Yoruba and Arará Orisha of Plague, Affliction, and the Healing That Comes Only Through the Wound

The Orisha Library

The one whose name is spoken carefully. Babalu Aye rules disease and the recovery on the other side of it — smallpox, epidemic, the body's betrayal and its mercy. This volume opens his Arará and Dahomean roots, the sackcloth and the ja, his patakis, his offerings and his taboos, and the reason the tradition treats affliction itself as instruction.
