| | The primary focus of Santeria is the worship of the orishas. | | | Santeria, or La Regla Lucumi (The Way of the Saints), is a syncretic religion which blends African indigenous traditions, primarily those of the Yoruba people, with Catholicism. | | | Perhaps the most captivating aspect of Santeria and Vodou practice to an outsider is the phenomenon of possession-performance, wherein a lwa or an orisha "rides" a devotee. |

| | Svich chose Santeria as her inspiration for the spirituality in Alchemy/blues because she wanted to draw from Caribbean culture and she was attracted to the "complicated, mischievous and sexual" qualities of the gods. | | | According to Miguiel Barnet, Santeria "boasts an eclectic pantheon of divinities who must be frequently gratified and appeased with festive ceremonies."2 The various rituals associated with this religion generally involve sacred objects and may include divination or spiritual possession. | | | Many of the Yoruba who were kidnapped and sold into slavery in Cuba, preserved their religious practice by masking the workshop of their gods in the symbols and saints of Roman Catholicism. |

| | Santeria is based on an ancient African religion that metamorphosed into Santeria in the New World. | | | Litigation of this issue has centered on the use of animals in the Santeria religion. | | | In the process of syncretion, Yoruba people mixed their faith with the Catholicism of their captors and owners, and began to practice "Santeria," -- "the way of the saints." Yoruba spirits, "orishas," are given devotion through the iconography of Catholicism. |

| | Santeria does not have a holy book, and worshipers do not gather in churches. | | | In Santeria, the ''way of the saints,'' there is a close correspondence between traditional Catholic saints and deities once worshiped by the Yoruba people of west Africa. | | | Through an elaborate process of divination, Santeria priests claim to ascertain the will of the orishas for their ''clients.'' Santeros are then instructed to perform certain ritual acts for their orisha, a sort of Santeria penance. |

| | Orishas and Santeria |
| | Santeria, or Regla de Ocha, is a broad group of religious and spiritual practices developed in Cuba based mostly on Yoruba traditional religions, but with influences from other African ethnic groups including the Bantu-speaking groups of the Congo region and even European spiritism to some extent. | | | In Yoruba culture, an individual would typically be a follower of one orisha, while Santeria merged worship of all the orishas and ancestors into an encompassing religion. | | | There are Brazilian, Haitian, and other Caribbean forms of religion that are closely related to Santeria because of their common roots. |
