Egungun, the dwellers of Heaven, explore the world of Ancestor through the Yoruba practice. Yoruba people, like most African ethnic groups, worship their ancestors. They call them Egungun. Egungun or Eegun is regarded as the collective spirit of the ancestors who occupy a space in heaven. Therefore, they are called Ara Orun, dwellers of heaven. In the Yoruba Orisa tradition, ancestors are the foundation of all things. This excellent book provides a historical account of Egungun's functions, stories, and worship from various Odu Ifa. It also expands on Ancestral veneration, life after death, burial rites, the Egungun society, and its hierarchy structure.
