Achterflaptekst:

Santeria is an earth religion. That is, it is a magico-religious system that has its roots in nature and natural forces. Each orisha or saint is identified with a force of nature and with a human interest or endeavor. Changó, for instance, is the god of fire, thunder and lightning, but he is, also the symbol of justice and protects his followers against enemies. He also symbolizes passion and virility and is often invoked in works of seduction. Oshún, on the other hand, symbolizes river waters, love and marriage. She is essentially the archetype of joy and pleasure. Yemayá is identified with the seven seas, but is also the symbol of Motherhood and protects women in their endeavors. Elegguá symbolizes the crossroads, and is the orisha of change and destiny, the one who makes things possible or impossible. He symbolizes the balance things. Obatalá is the father, the symbol of peace and purity. Oyá symbolizes the winds and is the owner of the cemetery, the watcher of the doorway between life and death. She is not death, but the awareness of its existence. Oggún is the patron of all metals, and protects farmers, carpenters, butchers, surgeons, mechanics, and all who work with or near metals. He also rules over accidents, which he often causes.

The author of this book has written Santería and Santería Experience. This book takes us further into the practices of Santería's followers.
