The Altar of My Soul

The Altar of My Soul The Living Traditions of Santeria
by Marta Moreno Vega
Page Count: 304
Long cloaked in protective secrecy, demonized by Western society, and distorted by Hollywood, Santer 237;a is at last emerging from the shadows with an estimated 75 million orisha followers worldwide. In The Altar of My Soul, Marta Moreno Vega recounts the compelling true story of her journey from ignorance and skepticism to initiation as a Yoruba priestess in the Santer 237;a religion. This unforgettable spiritual memoir reveals the long-hidden roots and traditions of a centuries-old faith that originated on the shores of West Africa. As an Afro-Puerto Rican child in the New York barrio, Marta paid little heed to the storefront botanicas full of spiritual paraphernalia or to the Catholic saints with foreign names: Yemay 225;, Ellegua, Shang 243;. As an adult, in search of a religion that would reflect her racial and cultural heritage, Marta was led to the Way of the Saints. She came to know Santer 237;a intimately through its prayers and rituals, drumming and dancing, trances and divination that spark sacred healing energy for family, spiritual growth, and service to others. Written by one who is a professor and a santera priestess, The Altar of My Soul lays before us an electrifying and inspiring faith 8211;one passed down from generation to generation that vitalizes the sacred energy necessary to build a family, a community, and a strong, loving society.
