Santeria: the Religion: Faith, Rites, Magic (World Religion and Magic) by Migene González-Wippler

Anthropologist and Santería initiate Migene González-Wippler examines how the Yoruba people brought to Cuba as slaves preserved their religion by identifying their gods with Catholic saints, giving rise to Santería.

The book combines her scholarly study with personal experience to describe the faith’s orishas, rites and magic, and its survival and growth in the Americas.
