For the novice it provides insight into the power of the spoken word and confirms somethings that you may have experienced intermittently and wondered “what was that”? For the Babalawo or Omo-Awo, this book has some key Odus which are necessary for memory (isoye) and power of the word (ofo’se) or manifestation.
