Brief History of Afro-Cuban Santeria (Yoruba Religions, Orishas, Blood Sacrifice, Magic)
An exploration of Santeria and how this Yoruba religion syncretized with Catholicism. This hour long podcast is my aim to combat misinformation about Santeria. With research from Migene Gonzalez-Wippler and some additional context, this episode is great for anyone who enjoyed my episode on Rastafarianism and wanted to learn more about another religion originating from West Africa.
This podcast is on the lighter side and I'll talk about all the interesting parts of Santeria you're dying to learn about. I'll give details about the Orishas such as Chango, Oshun, Yemaya and Obatala amongst others. Learn about the rites and rituals of Santeria NEVER seen in the media...
You can find out how people "join" Santeria and learn about Afro-Cuban magic as well as the TRUTH about blood sacrifice within the faith.
This has an Afro-Caribbean historical focus and might be a great listen if you're interested in Afro-Latino history or Caribbean history.
