Choosing Godparents and an Ile This has to be one of the most important decisions one has to make when entering the religion, Santeria, or as many refer to it as, La Regla de Osha. This is a very special relationship between godchild and godparent. A relationship that closely relates to parent/child, brother/sister, and most important friends. This relationship that will be tested.  It is a relationship that must exist in the good as well as the bad. This relationship will require open communication and understanding from each party. Ones godparents are the most important people outside of your natural parents. The godparents should treat you as one of their own children. The responsibility of the godparents differ from that of a parent, keeping in mind that under normal circumstances your birth parents can not and should not ever be replaced. The role of a godparent is to provider spiritual guidance and assistance to their godchildren. Some of us have go...

Elegua and Eshu ESHU is not the same as Eleguá; they're like two sides of the same coin, with separate but very closely connected identities . We can think of Eshu as Eleguá's shadow, or his reflection from the other side of the mirror. In many ways, they're opposites. All Santeros/as have an Eleguá who lives behind the door inside the house, but not everyone receives an Eshu. Usually, if someone who receives the warriors , given by a babalawo , that Elegua is known as ESHU, especially in Ifa-centric communities. Both Eleguá and Eshu are tricksters, but Eshu's tricks can be unpleasant or harmful. Outsiders have mistakenly called Eshu the devil - he's not, in Santería there is no devil - but Eshú can definitely be naughty and we shouldn't play around with him, because he's a very powerful force when he gets stirred up. Traditionally, no one in Santería is ever crowned with Eshu on the head, whereas many people are crowned with Eleguá. Eshu  el...

Divination is an indispensable part of Santeria. Those who follow the traditions of Santeria rely on the advice and guidance that they receive from the Orishas, as well as from their departed ancestors to help them make decisions and work through difficult times. Unlike fortune telling, divination is a sacred ritual that incorporates sanctified tools in its practice. These rituals require intensive training and follow extremely specific procedures. Very few men and women have the spiritual energy to become a specialist in divination. Priests and priestesses, known as Olorishas, work for years to hone their skills to be able to communicate with the spirits to obtain answers to questions or guidance regarding specific situations.
