After studying science, history, mathematics, and world religion, it gets crazy as hell to see how everything connects. The man is wise and knows what he is talking about, very informative video thought.

[@WiseDaGod777]

YES!!! That is the *Point* ALOT of people need to FATHOM! Everything is this U(you)-N (&)-I (I/Self)-VERSE/Universe is connected (and this is Scientific FACT not just spiritual talk)!!! If you think about ALL the great physicists & scientist PRIOR to like the 1940 they ALL dealt in Philosophy & some sort of spirituality because (so-called) Philosophy is just the WHY to that WHAT! What society has done is completely REMOVE the WHY out of the WHAT!! They have *"compartmentalized"* (divided) EVERYTHING & then by showing NO "why's" to anything its very HARD for the average person to see the connection in ANYthing let alone EVERYthing!!! This dynamic just like ALL the other GREAT DIVIDES of mankind was DEF'initely orchestrated by a specific "handful" that have been working towards a very specific Society. If we look at the dope Abrahamic book (Holy Torah Holy Bible Holy Quran) for what they are = Deep Scientific books (just NOT written in a MODERN format of science) the Holy Bible which original name is the Helios Biblios literaly translated to "Sun Book" OR "Book of the Sun"!! Jesus/Yeshua was the SUN... the SUN of MAN!!! Born on the Winter SOLstice Died & Rose on the Spring Equinox had 12 apostles 12 zodiac systems around the Sun. This is WHY Free Mason's Study ALL of these books! Is it because they are "Jewish Islamic Christians" OR "Catholic Muslim Jews" lol NO its because they KNOW & Fully FATHOM that ALL these books are DEEP metaphysical science books that each have extreme Knowledge & Wisdom inside of them (along with a lot of other Highly Praised books throughout history). When One gains TRUE Wisdom he see Everything & Nothing at the same time! He/she see's how NOthing is really separate from the next & if we dive into something like "Mirror Photons" we can see that this may be MORE literal OR JUST AS literal as it is metaphorical speaking.

When he talks about Orishas and how each of them represents something is like he is also describing the Aztec gods each god was a representation of something in this world, something that could be found physically in the planet but with a spiritual meaning.

sorry but there is no good or evil in santeria, just evil and will depend what level you are in it, just like a chain of comand in an army goes from the lowest to the major who will make a covenant with the devil himself to obtain a major in the santeria. so when one can't do a "work" for you is because he or she is in a lower level to the one that did the "bad work" or witchcraft to the person asking to get cleaned. now you know. i know that cause i have family or had family in that kind of things. nothing good is on that, its used to do bad to other persons, like to get a girl, a man. i know more, feel free to ask.

[@jamesoaks7658]

The difference between exploitation and what the Santero is talking about is not just a mere exchange of knowledge. The money is referred to as derecho or the cost of the initiation. Everything in life is paid for, everything is sacrificed. For instance, working to get a pay check is a sacrifice of time; the derecho is another form of sacrifice from the initiate. With that being said when you become initiated into Santeria there is a myriad of things that happen, drumming ceremonies (and not just random drummings, every Orisha has particular drumming patterns that call them down to bear witness and in the case of the initiate to crown their head) you have to pay for these drummers, you have to pay for their food for the entire seven days of the ceremony, you also dress all in white for a year and a seven days the godparent takes the derecho and prepares for the entirety of the ceremony including all the animals that are sacrificed. However the derecho varies from house to house, for instance in Florida where the supply of drummers and supplies is much higher the derecho is lower. Also the derecho changes based on the Orisha being crowned. So in this case the derecho is not exploitative rather it is a complex spiritual component of the religion that many people don't understand. I am not a Santeria expert but I am an aleyo and I plan on being initiated, so my knowledge of the religion and its practices stems a bit pass this singular documentary. It is necessary to examine things from a neutral cultural lens at times and this is an excellent example of that. Americans are very hesitant to pay people for services as they should be, but in this case the derecho is not paying a singular person for knowledge, the derecho pays for every component of the initiation and a good Godparent will sit down with the initiate and explain in detail where their money is going. Simple as that, Santeria is not a religion you practice because its easy or fun, you practice it because it's neccessary for your spiritual evolution, and there is no one forcing you to make ocha it is something that is decided first and foremost through the Diloggun (the cowrie shells) if it is not in your spiritual destiny to become a priest you don't become one. Simple as that. I hope that clears up some of the confusion around the derecho aspect of Santeria. :)

The religion itself isn't an exploitation but their are people with in the religion that would charge 20k or more to do ocha where the most is like 15k. You also have people that charge 10k for one ocha. It's sad because it's a beautiful religion but you have people that use it as a business.

Bob Hope45 Quite the opposite actually, Santeria is a religion that was once held in darkness and secrecy out of necessity for its very survival. There are Santeros who don't know what their doing and instead of being a priest to help and elevate their communities spiritually they exploit and take their followers money, and energy. But that could be said about any religion... There are numerous misconceptions about Santeria and it is through education that we dispel these misconceptions not by hiding it.

And you seem like a reasonable person and I hope you are and I'm highly assuming you are and I'd like to say thank you for being reasonable

I really appreciate your Joey Diaz interview and this documentary/interview. I watched both in this order. I'm a student of my own peoples' pre-Christian Paganism and found it lacking in terms of worship and practice and have postulated and found my own practices. Thanks to your work here I've found those practices I've intuited are very close to Santeria. Also, in general, I love the interviewing and cinematography style. Interviewer is very easy and sociable. There were some special moments.

Last night while I was looking at a picture of Yemaya, I felt a tingling sensation coming from the top of my head, went through out my body. I feel particularly drawn to Her.

[@BrownSkinn1]

+Rubi Colorado I want more from this guy especially!

[@junipercosmic6841]

Rubi Colorado Santeria and all other religions involving 'gods' (note the plural and the small g) are a deception. As someone who was deeply involved in the occult for over 15 years; I can tell you that all lower case 'gods' are demons in disguise. Especially in something like santeria. It is devil worship. If you don't believe me, look up the testimony of John Ramirez. He was the 3rd highest rank santeria priest in the world. He'll tell you all about it.

[@myeshamooresphr3736]

+Juniper Cosmic Did you not hear his statement that Santeria recognizes ONE SUPREME GOD. The loas are angels. You hear what you want to hear - typical Bible thumping Christian.

[@slimjimy35]

Honestly I've been on a spiritual path. Trying to find my place spiritually. I was raised in a catholic family went to catholic school and all. Know all the saints and the bible but I'm drawn to Santeria being a Afro American I want to know more of the Yoruba religion and the Orishas. This documentary was enlightening

[@humansareslaves618]

+Kee G I am spreading the word of Jesus. If that's being a troll to you, then you're already lost and beyond salvation. You've accepted Satan as your lord instead of Jesus Christ. By following this religion or finding it intriguing you're allowing your mind to be a free gateway for demons to tarnish your views of God and Jesus. I will pray for your soul. Seeing you're already lost.

[@humansareslaves618]

+Dja #6 there's no such thing as Allah. Allah is not God. Allah is an ancient idol that was worshipped by the Arabian tribes and was then later adopted by Islam. Islam is a satanic occult religion. Why else do Jinns= demons pray for Allah? Because Allah is not God.There's a lot of proof that Islam is satanic. Allah = lucifer. Islam denies the trinity and denies the fact that Jesus is gods son . That's enough proof that Islam is not of God.

What an incredible person , very much in touch with the craft and the principles , as well as the modern world we live in . His knowledge of the past and why things are what they are today is paramount. Understanding the arts beginnings gives you insight into what you see today. These forces are alarming to some but after one has been rode a couple of times its first hand gnosis as opposed to reading about it or studying the subject. Our friend here is the real deal and has a great gift of explanation , this makes him a good teacher.

I'm not a scholar on the subject but I have done my share of studies. If science has proven that all life stemmed from Africa, then it's safe to say all religion stemmed from Africa. So no matter what you call it today, no matter how good or evil you claim it is, it's a branch of African Spirituality. In America there is freedom of Religion, and I respect them all.

Santeria is a subject that caught our attention ever since we heard Joey Diaz waxing lyrical about it in a podcast interview some years back. We contacted Charles and asked him if we could come to his shop and record an interview to which he agreed. We spent roughly three hours with him. Charles blew our minds with his ability to lay down the facts regarding this remarkable religion. We can't thanks him enough for his kindness, energy and hospitality. Please tell us what you think of the short film in the comments section below if you enjoyed the video then give us a like and subscribe. Many thanks, The UNION Team.

[@yaila1529]

It truly saddens me how people that know nothing about Santeria are the first to call us Santeros and santeras devil worshippers. First of all, you’ve lost touch with your eggun, your guides your ancestors. Secondly, Santeria isn’t as hateful as Christianity. You’re not going to hell for premarital sex, you’re not going to hell for being gay, people that practice Santeria never shame others for what they practice yet we’re always the first to be shamed. As far as I know Santeria is one of the few still living practices that doesn’t shame and only protects. It’s not evil or dark to be in touch with your culture, your roots, and your ancestors.

[@deadeyedblack2350]

I think you don't realize that paganism is a sin. Read the book of revelations and you will see how paganism was birthed and how this is no different. Jesus and Mary-like figures, worshiping of nature, etc. There is only one most high. Also, if you read the Bible and would stop parroting what many deniers say about Christianity you would know that on earth, the strict and rigid Christianity you were raised in and ended up despising is man-made, thus ironically it goes against God's word. Which is why it is important to have your own personal relationship with the lord, get in touch with the Holy ghost and you will realize that God is a loving and merciful God, thus he doesn't shame.

Haiti has very dark practices and seems to be obsessed with the darker loas and exhuming corpses. I can feel the darkness from the cemeteries remotely. He mentioned witchy shops in London. There are botanicals too. That's where real magical is sold. The most powerful substances I use are the voodoo and psychic sprays mixed with Kabbala.
