Voodoo/Santeria 101 websites?

[Dumunzi]

I have looked high and low, and I can find generic Wiccan websites made by people, sites about magic, etc. But I have never, ever for the life of me found anything beyond Wikipedia in reference to Voodoo/Santeria.

Does anyone have some 101 style, Weatherwax Cottage like, Voodoo/Santeria sites that you wouldn't mind linking in this thread??

These sites give good info about the topic at hand. I am not personally endorsing said sites just the information they supply.

That is an awsome site!!! Thank you!

But, would it be in conflict with the practice of the faith if I were to work with the Voodoo/Santeria spirits alongside my Wiccan practices?

:/

Short answer sometimes you are called by certain Lwas and not called into the tradition and there really is not conflict with that. I would just see where it leads me if I were you. You will know if they are insisting on initiation into the tradition, trust me on this. Many people serve Lwas all of their lives and are never initiated into Voudou.

Treat your relationship like a real life one. If you promise to do something, do it. Keep your word as you and the Lwa gain trust in each other. As with the living the relationship is a two way street both give and both take some.
