About this document

Babalawo Insights on Spiritism and Eggun by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the relationship between the Babalawo and Spiritualism in the Yoruba religion. It explains that although Babalawos are skeptical of modern Spiritualism, they must respect and understand it because many Odus of Ifá refer to it. It also distinguishes between Eggun (the ancestors) and Iwin (human spirits), and explains that there are many types of spirits including those of nature and the Orishas. Finally, it argues that Babalawos are not excluded.
