"Santeria: The Religion" is an informative and insightful examination of an Africa religion's survival in the New World. Blending informed study as an anthropologist and personal experience as a Santerian initiate, author Migene Gonzalez-Wippler uncovers Santeria's spellbinding elements: the pantheon of gods (orishas), the priests (santeros), the divining shells (diloggun) used to consult the gods, and the herbal potions prepared as medicinal cures for magic (ewe). "Santeria: The Religion" also explores the controversial ceremonies - including animal sacrifice - that are often misunderstood outside the Santerian community.
