Discover the Magic of the Orisas

Explore the Mythic Codex of Afrodeities Project's New Release with Stunning Illustrations.

They were never just myths.

They were never just myths. They were memory made divine.

Before the seas were crossed and the names were lost, before our stories were made small and buried beneath shame, the Orisas walked with us.

Meet the Orisas is not a textbook—it is a homecoming. This illustrated microbook introduces the Orisas as living forces of nature, spirit, justice, fire, beauty, and balance. Each page is a ceremonial gateway: a retelling of who they are and what they mean, rendered in poetic prose and ancestral memory.

Rooted in the Yoruba tradition and speaking across time and space, this is a mythic work for all ages—children, seekers, scholars, and descendants alike. It is also a radical offering: to restore the divine names once silenced, and to return Black gods to the centre of the sacred.

This book is the first fire in The Mythic Codex, a vast and unfolding library of African deities, stories, and systems of knowledge.

This is how we remember.
This is how we restore.
This is how we return.
