Description

Explore the complex religious landscape of Trinidad, West Indies, in this academic study from Routledge. This book provides a detailed portrait of the Spiritual Baptist Faith and Orisha Work, highlighting their shared roots in the traditional Yoruba religion of West Africa. The author examines the phenomenon of spirit possession, a central element of worship in both traditions. The text compares how possession functions across these faiths: in the Spiritual Baptist Faith, individuals retain their own identity while possessed by the Holy Spirit, whereas in Orisha Work, those possessed by the orishas become the spirits themselves. This study offers a deep look into the Yoruba concept of self and how identity is shaped through these religious practices.
