Introduction to Permaculture
Very nice collection!
Wow! This is a terrific list. I must share this with my friends.
The more I read about Igbo tradition, the more fascinated I become. Previously most of my African explorations focused on Yoruba, Egypt, and the diaspora. Igbo is new to me, but a really terrific fit for my beliefs.
This is an excellent list!
This is a phenomenal list of works and I must say that I am glad to see African Godianism by my Grandfather Ahanyi KOK Onyioha. Thank you so much!
Two Thousand Seasons is also a great must read book. It should be required reading, especially for Black people.
I have heard about that one! What’s it about?
I am so happy to see your site. I was born in the US but gave birth to an Igbo daughter who is now 16. Her father is strongly Christian and it pained me for her to not know so much about her traditional Igbo tradition. I am glad to see sights like this coming out.
I have one more book I would like to recommend…
The Water Goddess in Igbo Cosmology ….Ogbuide of Oguta Lake
by Sabine Jell- Bahlsen
I will definitely do so after I read it
Dalu — May the Goddess protect you and your daughter! Love and Blessings, Sabine J-B
An most impressing collection, I must say. I think you should include Christopher Okigbo’s Labyrinths With Path Of Thunder to complete the decorum. Well-thought up.
I will check that one out. Dalu
