The recent explosion of social media has led to a huge amount of shared
information regarding the path of Orisha. This has led to a rise in
consciousness regarding Lucumi ( Aka; Santeria). This branch of Orisha practice
has its roots in Cuba, but has travelled far beyond its birthplace. Consequently,
there has been a shift in the access of information and scams and charlatans are
commonplace. Fractured relationships are frequent. This book is a self-help
book which explains the basics of our traditions and how to spot red flags. For
those already practising the religion, there is a chapter on how to negotiate being
a Godparent and how to create healthy communities. Caring for our planet
and our mental health is also addressed. What are the new challenges we face
as a community in this technological age? This book acknowledges the need
to protect our traditions, safe-guarding secrets, whilst promoting a quest for
knowledge. It is a call to reframe our traditions, born from slavery and trauma in
a healthy way which acknowledges the unhealthy relationships that exist within
the traditional hierarchical structure. This book is for all following the Lucumi
way of life and those who aspire to do so.
