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.

ogale guase Aña. Agó.

Elegua, Ogun, Ochosi, and Osun,
are called "The Warriors" by the Lucumi


Ogun is the Orisha of iron and metals.
He is responsible for all things mechanical.
Many people think of Ogun only in terms of weapons of
war, because he is a fierce warrior. But Ogun also
makes implements for farming and medicine;
like the hoe, and the surgeon's scalpel.
His symbol is the knife.
His number in some Lucumi houses is 7, others use 3.
His colors are green and black.
His feast day is June 29th.



Ochosi is the Hunter, and is symbolized
by a bow and arrow. He is the Orisha who metes out
Justice, and is sometimes referred to as the
"the Messenger of Obatala".
All hunting birds like hawks, eagles, and falcons are his.
His colors are blue and gold, or green and blue
His feast day is April 23rd
His number is 7


Osun is the staff of Osanyin, who is the Orisha
of herbs and herbal healing.
