What is really the meaning of Santeria?

I have just been introduced into Santeria. I am a little skeptical on what its really about. I know most people call it Voodoo and most call it a Religion that pertains to a certain meaning from the Catholic Religion. I wanted to know if there was anyone out there that could help me figure this out before i get to involved in something i know very little about.

Related or having to do with saints

Demon and devil worship.

What it is its a person who practices voodoo and gets rid of curses, puts curses on, etc. etc. he/she usually works with magic and goes with the spiritual path to get the results one seeks. I would suggest doing it if you feel you want to, with light there is dark, and most Santeria work both ways, but if you dint attract the dark and are positive, nothing can stop you really. it varies from person to person, its an old practice; some see it as a religious thing (i can compare it to the natives of north America when they would dance to bring rain) while some see it as the devils work.

Santer?a is a pancreatic religion of Caribbean origin, also known as Regla DE Ocha, La Regla Lucumi, or Lukumi.[1][2] The word "Santeria", often used by colonial Europeans to describe the religion of Africans whose origins are Yoruba (present-day Nigeria and its surrounding environs), can be loosely translated from Spanish as the "Way of the Saints". The Africans, however, called themselves: "O leukemia" or "my friend". This term may have emerged from the consolidation of African beliefs and culture under the banner of a colonizing country, in this case, Spain. It formed the basis for a new "people", united under oppression.
