LEOPARD TALES

Leopard Tales is an exquisite coffee table book blending oral Apataki (folktales and mythology) with vivid imagery crafted by Oba Olff, an visual artist/author, a 3rd-generation African American Priest, Palero, and Omo Ana in the Lucumi Spiritual System.

This collection preserves the myth-histories of the Orishas, deities of Yorubaland, integral to African Shamanism. Raised within this tradition, Oba Olff inherited its rich cultural tapestry—language, rituals, aesthetics, and culinary traditions—capturing the connections between ritual and musical nuance.

Designed for English-speaking Orisha devotees, Leopard Tales breaks language barriers, celebrating oral history and cultural heritage through a visually and spiritually captivating lens.
