Feel free to check back on this list, we’ll be updating it regularly until it reaches its full scope.

I make it a point to read every book before recommending it, so revisit the list from time to time for new additions.

Please note that inclusion in this list does not imply full agreement with every view expressed by the authors. Rather, each work listed is one I believe can help readers develop a more well-rounded understanding of Igbo cosmology and worldview.
