| Sumario: | This article describes a wide and meticulous landscape of the sequence that African religions followed in Cuba starting from their arrival in times of the Colony up to the present. The syncretic survival and the practice nowadays, show the strength and spreading out of their roots in Cuban society. Within the religion of the Orishas, the divinatory and healing system is joined together. The possession through medium methods seems to be an essential part which helps channel the spirits, not only of gods, but also of the dead towards divination and healing. |
