    Santeria

    Rastafarianism

    Voodoo

    This religion was


    developed in the Spanish
    Empire. They speak the
    language known as
    Lucumi. It is a system that
    merges into the Yoruba
    Mythology and is really
    religious. They do not have
    a central creed where they
    do their religious practices
    but they do have a place
    called Casa de Santos
    which means house of
    Saints. This religion was
    brought into the new world
    by Yoruba slaves that
    believe in Christianity and
    also Indigenous American
    traditions. It also has the
    worship of Orisha which
    means head guardians.
    They believe in different
    Saints then the Christianity
    religion and they have
    different meanings to each
    other. They have a God
    and he referred to as
    Olorun and also known as
    the owner of heaven. Thy
    have ritual sacrifices that
    are animals and they are
    normally chicken and they
    use their blood as the
    sacrifice. It is suppose to
    revive them from their sins,
    please the Saints and also
    bring good luck.

    This religion is very widely


    practiced in Jamaica about
    5-10 percent of the
    population of Jamaica
    practices this religion.
    Rastafarianism is a black,
    political movement that
    occurred in the 1930s.
    Which means that this is a
    very young religion
    compared to all the other
    religions for the most part. In
    the early stages of the
    movement most Rastas
    didn't even get to vote.
    There are only two types of
    ceremonies in this religion
    and they are Reasoning and
    Groundation. A Reasoning
    is where all of the Rastas
    people join together, smoke
    Cannabis and discuss. And
    Groundation is a holy day.
    Rastas believe that they are
    the children of Israel. They
    have beliefs in Judaism and
    also in Christianity. They
    have many beliefs in the
    Bible and sometimes go by
    the Bible and they also
    believe in Jesus Christ. There
    are about 100,000
    Rastafarians in Jamaica.

    There is actually no
    single founder of the
    religion Voodoo. There is
    also no actual date or
    specific date that Voodoo
    when it started being
    practiced. The spiritual
    expression is an African
    animism, spiritism, and
    indigenous religion. This
    religion is practiced all
    over the place and they
    are mainly practiced in
    these countries West
    Africa, Haiti, Puerto Rico,
    Brazil, Cuba, the
    Dominican Republic, and
    America, especially in
    Louisiana. There are a
    lot of Voodoo and the
    way they believe things
    because it depends on
    where it is practiced and
    what school of practice.
    there is many ways to do
    this which is a lot
    different from most
    religions because in
    some religions you
    believe what the religion
    believes and there isnt
    choices after you are
    born into that religion and
    that isnt the case here.
    In Voodoo there is a
    strong parallel or even
    say huge relation to
    Christianity. They are
    also accepted into the
    Catholic church.
    Damballa is known as
    the serpent God and the
    oldest in the Voodoo

    pantheon.
