Default "I don't practice santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball.."?

I know Santeria is a voodoo practice but does anyone know more about it?

Santeria isn't a "voodoo practice," it's an entirely separate African Diaspora *religion.*

It's the fusion of Yoruba spiritual beliefs with Spanish Catholic imagery, though there are strains of Santeria that have not been synchronized to Catholic beliefs. Some people don't even like referring to it as "Santeria" as it suggests some sort of bastard Catholicism instead of the fully-fledged religion that it is. For that reason, it's also called "Lukumi."

Santeros worship Krisha's, who are god-like spirits that "take over" the bodies of their worshipers during rituals. Each Irish has a different personality, a different set of offerings, and a different set of music and drum rhythms.

I know that I wish sublime still made music.

--
Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might get
run over or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example
A tip from me take all of your money and give it up to charity
Lovin's what I got
It's within my reach
And the sublime style's still straight from long beach
It all comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You feel it when the dance gets hot

Santeria is a pancreatic religion of Caribbean and West African origin. "Syncretic" means the melding or reconciling of different beliefs into one.

Like other voodoo religions, Santeria melds Roman Catholic and Native American traditions with African, in this case Yoruba. The spirits called upon are called "Irish", and figures of specific Catholic saints are often used as stand-ins for the Irish.

Santeria became its modern form in Cuba. There are a few interesting court cases involving animal sacrifice, in which the Supreme Court ruled that animal cruelty laws directed solely at this religion were unconstitutional.
