Wikipedia's article on Santeria, community-edited. Reliable for the religion's crystallization in Cuba by the late nineteenth century out of enslaved Yoruba practice blended with Roman Catholicism, the only legally permitted religion under Spanish colonial rule, and Spiritism; and for the 1960s emigration following the 1959 Cuban Revolution that spread the religion abroad, especially among Cuban diasporas in Mexico and the United States. General history and diaspora only; this atlas does not draw on or cite any part of the article touching initiation or priesthood procedure, which the religion's own restricted-tradition fact covers.
