Teresa N. Washingtons first book, Our Mothers, Our Powers, Our Texts: Manifestations of Aje in Africana Literature, reveals the PanAfrican power and profundity of Aje and its myriad sister systems in PanAfrican literature and culture. In The Architects of Existence: Aje in Yoruba Cosmology, Ontology, and Orature, Washington undertakes an indepth exploration of Ajes Yoruba Gods, origins, and manifestations to reveal the forces vast depth, complexity, and scope. By analyzing diverse sources, including published studies, historical texts, divination verses, and interviews with Yoruba wisdom keepers, Washington elucidates the multifaceted and complex nature of Aje and reveals the power to be extraordinarily dynamic, influential, and logical. Washingtons meticulous exposition of Aje includes chapters on the multifold power of Odu, the Great Mother Aje; Ajes signs, symbols, and orders of operation; manifestations of Aje in the Odu Ifa; the roles of Aje in Yoruba secret societies and sacred institutions; and the impact of Aje on some of the Yoruba worlds most influential sons, including Olatubosun Oladapo, Wole Soyinka, and Fela Anikulapo Kuti. The Architects of Existence is a groundbreaking study that will be essential reading for scholars of Yoruba Studies, Philosophy, African Studies, Gender Studies, and Religious Studies. Initiates and practitioners of Yoruba spiritual arts and sciences will find this book to be indispensable.
