Over 100 million people are estimated to be involved in the cult of the orishas, or Santeria. Here are the authentic patakis (legends) about the creation of the world on which the religious structure of Santeria is based. These archetypal stories about the interrelationship of Santerian deities play out the universal themes of creation, life, conflict and destruction, demonstrating rich spiritual insights into the human condition.
