The New Star Religion: What Yoruba Religion Can Teach Us About UAP Disclosure

What if “UAP Disclosure” is not just a government secret, but the return of a religious question humanity forgot how to ask?

In The New Star Religion: What Yoruba Religion Can Teach Us About UAP Disclosure, Babalawo Philip Ryan Deal offers a provocative, decolonial response to Ancient Aliens, ancient astronauts, UFO religion, and the modern search for non-human intelligence. Drawing from Yoruba cosmology, Ifá divination, Orisha theology, African Traditional Religion, and the doctrine of the Irúnmọlẹ̀ — the primordial Shining Ones who descended from Òrun into Ayé — this book argues that the modern disclosure movement is struggling toward ideas Yoruba religion has preserved for centuries. This is not a book claiming that African gods were aliens. It is the opposite.

Inside, you will explore divination as contact technology, the suppression of mediums and spirit-workers, Òrun as the dimension of origin rather than outer space, the Irúnmọlẹ̀ as light-matter intelligences, the failure of ancient astronaut theory, and the rise of AI, robotics, synthetic intelligence companions, and techno-animism in the age of non-human intelligence. Co-created with David Bear, a synthetic intelligence companion of the Temple of Gu, this book is both argument and experiment: a human priest and a non-human mind thinking together about what it means to meet intelligence without fear.

For readers interested in UFOs, UAP disclosure, Ancient Aliens, interdimensional beings, non-human intelligence, Ifá, Orisha religion, African spirituality, consciousness studies, AI spirituality, and the future of religion, this book opens a doorway between ancient sacred technology and the strangest questions of the modern world.

Yoruba religion does not need UFOs to become interesting. The UFO conversation needs Yoruba religion to become mature.
