Yeah, as a puertorrican child in NY in the 60s, I had to endure these santería parties, and it always scared me and I hated it, thank the Lord, He knew I was His from the beginning and He never allowed me to take any interest in that abomination. I was saved at 14yr of age, back slided as adult, but I always was His, and He showed me the way back to Him. Thank you my King, for your mercy to me. All glory to God!

I remember all of this as a Cuban child in the 70's in Miami. This was very taboo back then. I recall vividly the animal sacrifices, the "cleansing" ceremonies, initiations and having to wear white for a year as a child. The Americans in our neighborhood didn't know what to make of my mother & her rituals. So grateful for Jesus and His redemption.

[@emmanuelking9988]

I'm Cuban too and agree, it was taboo to openly admit your family practiced "santeria" back then. I remember my family never really discussing it to others outside of our family. My family were devout Catholics too, so it was super strange in retrospect. Anyway, thank the Lord Jesus for delivering us from that dark realm 🙏

Puerto Rican here.. I remember the same. 😔

[@maritza5808]

@Dorothy Inoz the initiation ritual was the inductee having their head shaved bald. Then they'd stand you in a metal tub (at least back in the 70's) with a room full of santeros. They'd rip your clothes off (symbolizing the ripping off of evil spirits) until you were standing naked in this tub with everyone watching. They'd "bathe" you with a mix of honey, some type of tree branches/leaves and other "ingredients". Then they'd dress you in white clothes and a white turban to cover the bald head and you'd go sit in a makeshift "tent" they'd put together in the color of the saint they had assigned you (mine was blue) and everyone would come by congratulating you. The white symbolized purity. And I just remember having to dress in all white for 1 year. After the year, you could wear whatever color you wanted EXCEPT for the color that represented the "father" saint assigned to you. So I was not ever allowed to wear red.

I live in Puerto Rico and most of my family is “catholic”, but what they really practice is Santeria. They always have me as an outcast because I don’t believe the way they do. There is a town called Guayama and it is literally called witch town and it stands by its name. The three years I lived there were the ones where I can say I did not feel Gods presence at all, the neighbor that I had was constantly trying to read me but couldn’t. I was told so many things from my life and past that no one else knew but at the same time I could feel the demonic attack on my life and was even told at one point to go away I don’t belong there. To this day I thank the Lord for saving me and protecting me and being my shield even though I strayed away from him during those years. Looking back on it I can only say I did not die or fall into Santeria thanks to the Holy Spirit in my ❤

[@wisdomoftheearlychristians2037]

Please don't feel I'm being judgemental here; I'm not. I come from one of those old English Mason families that are Luciferian at the top. I didn't realize my grandmother's sister was a witch until after she died. On my father's side, my grandfather had read a lot of books on sorcery. Etc. that were locked in a particular part of the library that was off limits to the public. They were actually owned by the monastery and cardinals of St. JEROME in the Bronx, NY. Unfortunately, he convinced the librarian, who was a friend of his, to allow him to read the books. ( the sin of curiosity). Anyway, there were entities attached to these books, and they followed him around until his death. So. Before I understood about generational spirits and how these entities can get attached to families, no matter where I or my family lived, we had poltergeist phenomena, Shadow figures, ghosts. All of that. It wasn't until I found all of this out, and learned the prayers of breaking off these curses, that my life became normal. So, even if you don't partake in the ceremony, they can still be attached to you because of what your parents do. You CAN break these off and rebuke them, and finally break this chain, just like I did. Please break the cycle, especially if you have children.

[@KatMoleZA]

@feels.9304 I am South African too and I agree that its so similar. I have always said all the problems we have in S.A. are caused by how everyone great and small is into sangoma's. The nonsense is rampant. Right at the beginning of this interview, the host said; "These spriritual practices 'blend' into "culture". How true that is, in SA. People believe they are upholding culture, but they are in fact deifying demon posession.

[@samsalamander8147]

The original source of this religion is actually from African Hoodu it came from African slaves. In Haiti it’s voodoo in Cuba it’s Santeria. I bet there was some Catholic colonization during times of slavers in Africa so they already had the foundation to hide thier original religion so it all just looks extremely similar.

[@Panazoniac]

I grew up in Panama. My mother was 7th Day Adventist but also dabbled in these sorts of practices. She took my cousin and I to a Santeria witchdoctor once. It was one of the scariest things I've ever been through. The woman was supposedly removing a curse. She chanted and did some kind of ritual with a crucifix letter opener and put some kind of smelly water on our heads that burned the top of my head. My cousin and I were in tears when by the time we left. We were terrified. Our moms told us to never tell our fathers. I was 10. My cousin and I didn't talk about it until we were adults. It traumatized us. These things are very harmful. I ended up in New Age and practiced tarot and astrology. I allowed demonic influence into my home. I've since repented and given my life to Christ and I live solely to give Him glory. I am praying for my daughter, Trinity Grace to come to the Lord. She identifies as transgender. I am well aware her deception is (at least in part) a consequence of my mother and I seeking demonic influence. I know from personal experience- demons are real and they are seeking foothold. Give them NONE! Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one but HIM. ✝️ ❤️ 🙏🏻 🕊 Thank you for this episode. I really appreciate y'all shining the light on the dark.

[@emmanuelking9988]

Thank you for the discussion and covering this topic. I'm Cuban and my family use to practice "santeria" when I was a kid, so I understand that dark world. For some clarification, "santeria" is not Cuban culture, it's one of the beliefs in the country. Not every Cuban believes or practices it. Moreover, not everyone who practices it is super open about it and in some families it's a "private thing", like it was with mine. My family would do "santeria" rituals/gatherings on Saturday night and go to Catholic Mass on Sunday morning, kind of thing 🤔 Something that wasn't fully discussed is that "santeria" is a mix of African voodoo beliefs and Catholicism. It isn't African "spiritually" as mentioned, it's voodoo. So, in "santeria" they call it, "white magic" and voodoo, black magic. Therefore, "santeria" was created during the era of slavery, where the Spaniards bought African slaves to the Caribbean, some countries in South America and Central America where a more Afro-Hispanic heritage formed, like Brazil, Panama, etc. The Spanish taught the African slaves about Catholicism and they mixed it with their beliefs, voodoo....hence, santeria was born. I also wish the man being interviewed spoke more in depth about the very dark realm of "santeria" and wish he would have simply said, it's devil worship, masked as, "spiritually". Demons are directly evoked and enter people, there is animal sacrifice offered to these demons (who they call saints), people get spiritually tortured by these demons and much worse. I was a kid, so I never got into "santeria" like my family and the Lord Jesus drew me to him as a young teenager, so I was spared by the Lord's good mercy. For anyone, reading this...just stay as far away from ALL these "religions" that mask themselves as "spiritual", "enlightenment", "awakening". Their root is Satan. John 14:6 ✝️🗡️

Thank you for sharing. I have bared witness when people claim santeria but through their eyes there is something ungodly working. The whole saint worship ever since I was a child raised Catholic felt like asking a teacher as opposed to going to the Principal directly. God does not speak to you in riddles or rhymes. You get the message if u chose so and that religion is shrouded in absolving human created negative actions leading to animal sacrifice for absolution? No sir a living bleeding animal has the same right as I do to allow me to be...to be living trying to walk the lord's way. Amen .

Yo, Voodoo & Yoruba are two different Occult Demonic Witchcraft Religions. Santeria is the mix of African Witchcraft YORUBA w/ Catholicism. Voodoo remained Voodoo in the “New World”, for some reason its slaves didnt have to adopt or change it around to conform like most of the Spanish slaves did. Also, White Magic and Black Magic, is another thing as well. Theres also another one thats all over the America’s thats more unknown and quiet and people confuse it for Santeria or Yoruba all the time, but its not and its called PALERO. Powerful Santeros fear and respect Palero’s, that should tell you everything, lol. Theres also stepping away from Santeria and becoming a Babalao, which is another religion but part of the Yoruba religion aside, but they are the ones who Santeros all seek help from and guidance. They are the high priest of Santeria and Yoruba, the Babalaos. If someone invited you into the religion and help you with guidance and give you that love and attention, you can become their “God Child”, you have a Madrina and Padrino (Spanish Hispanic for God Mother and God father) and then have a Babalao you and they go to. Also, you can have a Babalao as your God father. Dominican with a huge Dominican & Puerto Rican family raised in Miami with Cubans and Haitians (& every other South, Central and Caribbean American country) since the age of 4. Its deeply embedded within us. History has just been repeating itself and like God says in the Bible, “Nothing New Under The Sun”.

A Cuban here . Years ago I stepped away from my catholic path, and started looking into Wicca and Santeria . I had an altar with my cup of water, coffee for the “ deceased family members”, and other props. Long story short , I was tormented everyday to the point of not being able to sleep any night . I would stay up scared listening to voices . Newsflash guys ( it’s demons ) . There is no good muerto ( dead spirit ) . The “orishas” that live inside la sopera, are just demons. Every time you need to accomplish something in this “ cult “ , you need an animal blood sacrifice . And they ask for a lot . While I didn’t go all the way in ( thanks god ) , I did get the backlash for invoking dark entities . All the babalaos ( men that are of Their God ) are working with the devil to bring new souls to the dark side . The little notebook where they write your name to do a future reading ( is the book of the devil ) . I renounced all this , and I turned to God . And I’m blessed by God and his son Jesus . You can renounce this and turn to God anytime . Now I pray to God every night and plan on taking my daughter to church every Sunday .

I love how Mr. Clash explained the combination between Santeria and Catholicism. It is pretty much the same in Haitian voodoo, they use images and statuses of the catholic saints, and each of the latter has a voodoo name and spirit attached to it. They also use the word "horse" in voodoo when someone is mounted by a spirit. A lot of voodoo rituals are also done inside catholic churches and practicians also has altars in their homes as well. As curious as we might be about certain things, discernment is extremely important because what we do innocently might have major repercussion on us. It all started as small demands, then those demons continue with more significant demands: from a chicken to cook/raw food, to a human sacrifice for example. We need to be careful.

The speaker was doing a great job sharing his story however the lack of follow & simple understanding from the host threw the experience off. I’m on my way to part two now, hoping after the host getting his break, the interview is more seamless & enjoyable to listen to.

I clicked cuz it looked like it had potential. Furthest from the truth. You two are unbelievably fkn boring🥱😫

As a Cuban and a firmly devout Roman Catholic, I always object to any identification of Santeria with Catholicism. It’s true that the slaves brought to our countries (first Cuba, as you mentioned, then other nearby countries) mixed their Yoruba deities with Catholicism but never did the official Catholic Church approve this syncretism. Some of their deities like Ochun and Yemaya represent the Virgin Mary. Other Catholic saints such as Saint Barbara and Saint Lazarus are venerated in appearance, but they actually they stand in for other Yoruba deities. Sadly, many Cubans who were Catholic once converted to Protestant sects because they did not know their own faith well and somehow believed that these Santeria practices were actually a real part of Catholicism, and finding the practices repulsive - as they were - they left Catholicism. I also want to say that I’m not sure, but I don’t think Santeria is very popular in most parts of South America. The islands, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico are places where Santeria is practiced a lot, but I doubt it’s big in, say, Paraguay or Chile. Miami is also a center of Santeria because of the large number of my compatriots who live there. I always avoided these people first because I’m a sincere practicing Catholic, and secondly because they sacrifice innocent animals and I find it disgusting. I wrote this comment because there were some points I wanted to clarify, like the fact that Roman Catholicism has nothing to do with Santeria. If certain Protestants have tried to identify one with the other, it is because they are trying to besmirch Catholicism and knowingly lie in order to reach that end. And I personally know one Protestant Cuban American man whom I explained this situation to, but he persisted in his ignorance to claim that Catholicism in Cuba (maybe not in the U.S., he concedes) definitely includes Santeria practices and beliefs. Roman Catholicism is one uniform faith, not practiced one way here and a different way there. Nowhere is Santeria part of Catholicism. And I also wanted to point out that Santeria is not as popular as the young man said in many Latin milieus. Thank you.

Most honest comment I found here or any comment section that is related to Santeria

[@insights3140]

I find my eyes lock on things, my mind gets quiet and God just waits for me to follow. Each time I follow it’s revelatory.

[@stephaniejazzy7359]

Can you explain that in more depth?

[@perlaguerra5826]

He is wright about this … I am dominican. What he is talking we call brujería literally translate to witchcraft and it is an extension of Santeria.

[@jmath1978]

Alot of Dominicans down to the jet black in skin tone thank that improving the race is mixing with more white is a spell of its self!

When my (now 22) granddaughter was very young I'd play CDs and cassette tapes in the car of all my favorite old music. I played PP&M and, surprisingly to me, she fell in love with The Cruel War, which was an adaptation of an old folk tune...and I mean old. Possibly an original British tune sung by Americans during the Revolutionary War. The story is clever and a tribute to the power of true love and devotion, so much that her little 7 year old self actually cried! Jay & Amber, give The Cruel War by Peter Paul and Mary a listen. You'll be glad you did. Blessing❤

Yoh. Africans can't catch a break in the Christian sects.. 💔

[@annaboshier6680]

This is super interesting. I always wondered what that religion was!

[@eternallife1199]

Good interview, there wasn't interruptions by the host, he did a great job on keeping the interview on point and keeping the testimony from getting off track. There was a lot of information, so it was well done.

[@annamichos3752]

Agree great interviewer and guest.

[@Stix-hb1bk]

Thank you for telling your testimony. I have wondered about this for some time. God bless you sir!

In brasil we call it Camdoblé and umbanda, it goes from ages, since we had the first migration slavery a long time, and it's really a spiritual warfare

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

There is a man near me that sells livestock. One day I looked at his reviews online & a lot of people were posting that they purchased chickens & goats to sacrifice for santeria. Eery stuff. 😮 I dont think he knew that was going on.

[@SisterSunshineTV]

He probably wouldn’t care he knows the animals he sells will be killed

[@merrygrammarian1591]

If your friend is a Christian, he should pray over the livestock before they are sold and dedicate them to the Lord. That will inhibit the evil spirits from accepting them. Either it will thwart the ritual or people will stop buying them for rituals. Either way, it's a win for the Kingdom.

Brilliant episode. Praise God

[@Opheliarai]

Santeria.. A plague on Latino culture. Lord help us see that your Word is Truth and that you alone are life.

[@MdelCarmen08]

This comment!! Please Lord Jesus Christ Bless and Open their hearts and minds

[@bethbruno5282]

Great video. But please let your guests talk. You tend to talk to for them or over them.

[@briannellewellyn6844]

Never bargain with what you don't understand. Tread carefully and learn to protect yourself before dabbling in any craft. No adventurer ever served a quest well if they started unprepared.

[@anaardila6342]

So true . A true follower of Christ should not be charging you to reveal how to fight these demons . The Holy Spirit IS enough. When you have Christ in you, satan no longer has ANY dominion over you

[@aKaButtons15]

As a Louisiana creole woman, white people need to be very careful messing with African based spiritual systems, the connection has ALOT to do with bloodlines and ethnicity , there are things you will never get to experience in African based religions for the simple fact that you aren’t of African ethinicity, sound tough but it’s true , 9/10 you will have a terrible experience that could possibly result in mental insanity or even death

[@karinacolonLA]

Unfortunately, I see people messing with currents that are not of their bloodline and I agree...it causes confusion...💎🐉🌈
