English Translation

If Santer a had a Bible, it would commence like this: "Olodumare created the world, which in its origins was but a great marsh full of lagoons and animals, where the orishas went down to hunt ..."

However, Santeria began to be transmitted by word of mouth in an African dialect called "Kwa." In this book, narrated in a professional and objective manner, you will discover the myths, ceremonies and beliefs of this religious practice. If you are a practitioner, this book will take you to a broader and clearer understanding of the provenance and history of your religion. If you are not a practitioner, we assure you that this is the best way to approach the mysterious world of Santeria.
