Define Santeria Meaning

Santeria
Santeria, better known as La Regla de Ocha, La Regla Lukumi, or simply "La Relgion" is an Afro-Cuban religion with roots from the Yoruba people of West Africa, Nigeria.
It is the worship of the Orishas which are the primordial energies of creation and the movement that guides human conciousness. Contrary to popular belief, there is no mixture between Catholocism and Santeria. The saints were merely used as a mask to hide the worship of the Orishas when the religion was forbidden and forced to go underground in Cuba. Building Character, ceremony, initiation, divination and animal offering are essential elements of this religion.

Hi Matthew, is that Voodoo you are practicing?
No Lucy, it's not Voodoo silly. Voodoo is from Haiti and is more ancestreal type of worship. I practice Santeria which is more nature based and it's from Cuba.

Hi Matthew can you do a love spell for me with Santeria? Sure I can Michelle, bring me some honey, cinnamon, and perfume, we will take it to the river and make an offering to Oshun.

Santeria Effect
The practice by TV/Radio media of censoring materials that are not obscene or vulgar, but failing to censor the obscene/vulgar.

Back in the 90's, when the band "Sublime" was in its prime, I remember watching a music video for "Santeria" on TV. When the song got to the following lyrics:

"Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide. Daddy's got a new 45.
and I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down sancho's throat.
Believe me when I say that I got somethin for his punk ass. "

The TV station edited out the word "forty-five", but NOT the phrase "punk ass". This is what I call the "Santeria Effect"
