Santeria originates from Nigeria. Nigerians have migrated to just about every corner of the world. Some of the names o have heard mentioned are yoruba. So when people migrated to different countries the name changed.

If there’s something that I’ve learned during my life is “never judge a book from its cover” and I’m not judging Santeria either because I don’t speak if I don’t know. However, I took part in a spiritual mass and it was nothing satanic. I’m catholic and I will keep being catholic but I don’t see anything so negative. People are ignorant and blind: I don’t say “convert”, but at least know what we are talking about instead of condemn this religion. If you are so scared of Satan (and you should be) why don’t you worry about all the pedophiles in all Christian churches: that’s evil, not these people who are doing their business!
