To understand Santeria, I defined some terms that are extremely important if you want to learn and / or understand the Afro-Cuban culture.
Santeria, by definition, is a combination of traditions or religious beliefs, which combines the traditional African religion. Santeria originated in the country of Cuba and Brazil. This religion is a combination of the traditional Yoruba faith and worship of Catholic saints.
Yoruba are members of a WestAfrican Community based in the south-west Nigeria whoa are active members of the practice of Santeria. The Yoruba people of prayer and service Orisha: An Orisha, or as others call May Orisa / Orissa is spiritual or a presence that is interpreted as a manifestation of God (Olof) in the Santeria religion or belief.
To determine who will be your crown Orisha if this is the path you choose to take, you need to get their Guerreros or Elekes (Collar)There are two groups of warriors (a form of babalao) and the other by the sense that santeros Elegua Babalao is obtained by the EXU and Santer Elegua. The marking of the head that you can do when you receive the hand of orunla, we recommend that the person is already expected to be godparents. I heard people go to receive orunla who consider Elekes, which means they do not sponsor representation, generally not veryrecommended.
