Everything you want to know about Santeria,
By A Customer
This review is from: Santería la religión (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
This book is very hard to put down, once you start to read it your hooked. It is very informative about the origin of the religion and what it consists of. Even if you don't practice Santeria it is a very interesting book. One book you must add to your collection.

Great for the new-comer!,
This review is from: Santería la religión (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
I found this book to be fascinating. I know a Santero, asked to join the ranks of Babalawo, and learned much from him. This book validated what I was fortunate enough to be taught by him and gave more detail I'd not known. I realize it is still an introduction... to truly know Santeria is to become a Santero and learn from your mentors. Otherwise, this is the best introduction in book form I've read yet! I highly recommend it for those wishng to get a look into the religion that is sincere... NOT Hollywood garbage!

If she knew what she was talking about, this would be decent,

This review is from: Santería la religión (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
Whippler is a good writer technically, but despite years in the religion, writes absolute garbage. I think Ann Rice vampire novels have more truth in them. I'm a Santero and reading a Whippler novel is about as realistic as reading a Harry Potter novel and expecting to find actually Hogwarts in England. She makes things up that are simply not part of the faith. It's insulting to us olochas to read her works. I wish her books could be moved to the fiction section where they belong. You won't find religion in these books. Just a lot of weird magic spells for the highly superstitious. I often wonder if she is mistaking Wicca or Hoodoo with the African diasporic traditions.
