Santeria
Santeria is a syncretic religion that blends elements of West African and Caribbean beliefs with Roman Catholicism. It involves the veneration of spirits known as orishas, who are believed to govern different aspects of human life. Practitioners of Santeria engage in rituals, ceremonies, and sacrifices to communicate with these spirits and seek their guidance and blessings. The religion also places a strong emphasis on healing, divination, and ancestor worship.
