The Gifts of Santeria

Santeria's gift Santeria's modern practitioner may be attracted to religion for a variety of reasons, especially from the curiosity of secret ceremonies and the desire of many immigrants and color people to engage in the Caribbean and African roots I do not. It is difficult to generalize everything that a particular individual wishes to derive from religion, but Santeria provides a way for people to achieve harmony in their lives through communication and obedience with Orissa. Among middlemen, Olodumare.

One of my favorites that I like to see in Havana is a Santeria practitioner who often wear white costumes. Aboriginal religion, a combination of religious activities in Africa and Catholicism, Orisha (spiritual manifestation of the gods of Santeria) are everywhere. No matter where you go, there are people wearing white clothes, some wearing a necklace or bracelet representing Orisha. Oshun gold and Ogun green and gold are especially common.

The place looks like a shabby shop, but it is a true direct Santeria refuge. Sometimes garments and cultural tricks are mere masks, but in the true spirit of santelia, this orate and priest are genuine - strange dolls, feathers, strange little black baby, sticks, powder, potions. As my mouth became smooth and pure sugar cane, I began thinking more about what the store was. All these strange things are behind mysticism. This is African Cuban religion Santeria or la Regla de Lucumi. Basically, voodoo is an idea that comes to mind for ignorance of my traditional culture and spirit.

In 1959, Walter Eugene King named Yoruba Adefunmi and became a pastor of Santeria. He founded Shango Temple in New York. Over the years, Shango Temple departed from the Santeria community, emphasizing ceremonies and nationalism, not Catholicism - Yoruba of Santeria. In 1964, Adefunmi changed the name of the temple to a temple of Yoruba. Black college students found the Student Nonviolence Coordination Committee (SNCC). The organization promises to terminate apartheid and allow young blacks to make a stronger remark in the civil rights movement. SNCC members demonstrated the effectiveness of nonviolent meditation that was rapidly adopted by other civil rights groups. Members of SNCC participate in freeride, participate in interstate bus trips, challenge bathroom washroom, restaurant isolation, waiting room. After free ride, SNCC will focus on voter registration
