This book was written as a "How to" guide for individuals who are active participants in the Santeria Religion. It`s purpose is to introduce and encourage individuals of Santeria to familiarize themselves with an inexpensive way of preparing basic ingredients to produce "natural magic". Rarely is careful attention paid to the preparation of homemade magic products in these modern times. Rarer still, is finding an individual who is dedicated and competent in this aspect of spell crafting. It is a magical institution that is dying and must not be overlooked or forgotten. This book is an important resource guide to the magic found within nature. If properly utilized with respect and reverence, the Santeria practitioner will live harmoniously in nature with the Orishas. paperback 147 pgs. Weight: 0.440 lbs 17.95

During the slave trade, the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria who were brought to Cuba were forbidden the practice of their religion by their Spanish masters. In order to continue their magical and religious observances safely, the slaves opted for the identification and disguise of the Orishas with some of the Catholic Saints worshipped by the Spaniards. In this manner, they were able to worship their deities under the very noses of the Spaniards without danger of punishment.
