My Journey to Aganjú: The Òrìṣà so Hard to Find written by Jo Anna Hunter is a 484 page book that includes 95 color photographs. Ìyánifá
Ọmợtinúwẹ̀ describes her book as follows.
In this groundbreaking work I detail my spiritual journey to find a deeper understanding of
the Òrìṣà Aganjú. As a prelude to my comprehensive investigation of Aganjú, I examine
key Yorùbá Iṣẹ̀ṣẹ and Lùkùmí religious concepts and practices in their larger spiritual
contexts. A central contribution of this work is my extensive documentation of the
primacy of the Divine Feminine Principle in every aspect of the Òrìṣà traditions, which
reveals the inextricable connection of the Sacred Feminine to Aganjú.
