Santería is a system of beliefs that merge the Yoruba religion (brought to the New World by slaves imported to the Caribbean to work the sugar plantations) with Roman Catholic and Native Indian traditions. These slaves carried with them various religious traditions, including a trance for communicating with their ancestors and deities, animal sacrifice and sacred drumming. In Cuba, this religious tradition has evolved into what we now recognize as Santería. In 2001, there were an estimated 22,000 practitioners in the US alone, but the number may be higher as some practitioners may be reluctant to disclose their religion on a government census or to an academic researcher. Im a fully committed priest of Ochun, and thru the years I had helped with their everyday problems. Many that I have help are Black Hispanic and Caribbean descent but as the religion moves out of the inner cities and into the suburbs, a growing number of African-American and European-American heritage will continue to grow. The traditional Lukumi religion and its Santería counterpart can be found in many parts of the world today, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and even the United States, which was mainly the result of Puerto Rican migration. A very similar religion called Candomblé is practiced in Brazil, along with a rich variety of other Afro-American religions.

Orisha

Orisha


The Lucumi Yoruba believe in one Higher Power.
They call him Olodumare.
They believe that each person
has a Guardian Angel called an "Orisha".
Orisha are aspects of the Supreme Being
that are manifested as forces of nature.


When Yoruba slaves were brought to the New World
they brought their beliefs with them.
This belief system is known as Lukumi in Cuba,
and Puerto Rico, though it is often
referred to as "Santeria".
These beliefs are known as Candomble in Brazil,
and Shango Baptist in Trinidad.
