After many years the slaves were able to become free from slavery. Most of the slaves that were babalaos, Santeria priests, dedicated themselves to the practice of their rituals for other people. However there was a group of slaves that pretended to be babalaos.
This fake babalaos twisted the religion into a more dark and evil religion that would bring pain and suffering to any desired person. The people, whites and blacks that were ignorant of Santeria, turned to this new dark side to make other people suffer. This made it very difficult for the authentic babalaos to earn a living by practicing the real Santeria.
Once again, since the time of Catholic dominance, Santeria was looked down to because it was considered witchcraft. There are many gods involved in Santeria, but there is a few that are the very important to the religion.
Olodumare is represented by the image of Jesus Christ. He is not as popular and known as the rest of the gods since he should not be bothered and does not have any priests dedicated to him.
These stories are commonly called Appataki. Another Appataki states the commandments that the believers should follow; these are: 1. You shall not murder, except in self defense or to survive. You shall not eat human flesh. You shall live in peace with your neighbors. You shall not use my name in vain. You shall honor your father and mother. You shall not ask for more than what I have provided, and be content with your fate.
You shall not fear death nor take your own life. You shall teach my commandments to your children. You shall keep and respect my laws. It could be considered the most powerful and with more authority after Olodumare.
He always looks for reconciliation between people and gods, helps guide people through difficult times, and always has the best advice. His color is white, he reigns on Thursdays, and he loves white birds, tamales well cooked and zapotes. He also takes control of the herbs for the gods and medicine. He is considered the god of casualty and luck, and the protector of the houses and temples. He has a stick called Garabato which he uses to punish.
His acts are hard to predict. He is a womanizer, but very fatherly figure. His colors are red and white; he loves apples, and red wine.
Her name comes from a river in Africa and so she represents that river. She is also the keeper of the dead. She loves war and her devoted ones have no fear of fire, whenever she possesses anyone that person can hold carbon lit on fire. It is said that she sometimes lets people stay on earth instead of going to rest to appease the suffering of the family. Her preferred sacrifices are goats and chickens.
She is identified by La Virgen de la Regla. She is considered to represent fertility and the mother of the entire world, since her mission was to populate the world. Her color is blue; she loves melon, ducks, fish and pigeons as sacrifices. His colors are green and black; he likes bull, fish and iron as sacrifice. There are many other gods that are not mentioned in this list, but the most important ones are included.
All this gods have different personalities; they act as if they were part of the community, not as if they were supreme beings that will never change no matter the circumstances. This sense of personality is what makes Santeria so different from the well known religions. So please help us by uploading 1 new document or like us to download.

This also shows the similarities to euro american religions such as Christianity. In Santeria there are many differences to Christianity, but there are also many similarities. Santeria shares many similarities with the christian religions, with their fundamental belief in one God.
Although one big difference is that I consider Santeria to be polythiestic, regardless of their one God belief.
Essentially, this shows polytheism because it's not just the commitment to God but to multiple orishas. In my opinion, it makes the Santeria religion easier to know where one stands with ascension and fulfilling one's religious duty. This ritual is simple to complete and would give immediate satisfaction. This ritual is very appealing, due to the fact that when one must pick an orisha to help with their problem, it essentially forces the person to really look and think about the problem and focus on the source.
For example, many times someone is upset and clouded by emotion taking that extra time to humble yourself and ask for help may be the clarity one needs in order to find a solution for the problem. Another difference I find appealing is the commandment of retaliation in the book. Torre mentions a tale of a priest who persecuted others even though it is the truth which is always admirable , he creates an imbalance in others and dies because of this
