A reader from Melbourne, Florida states:
I read this book before my initiation into Santeria over five years ago. I've been actively practicing the religion ever since and have undergone may initiation thereafter. I have to say when I first read this book that I did not know much about Santeria. I am very glad to have read the book as I was able to relate its contents with my own experiences as I got exposed to this beautiful and profound religion. Mrs Wippler's "Santeria: The Religion" is quite consistent with my own experience and practice in Santeria. It is an excellent and comprehensive premier book, and it certainly does not deserve the negative criticism that it has received from certain individuals--who, in my opinion, are over-protective of the religion and supporters of the notion that the religion must be kept secret. About reading any Santeria book, one has to realize that each "Ile Ocha" has its own practices and customs, so there are even disgreement among very experienced Santeros on certain principles and practices within the religion. In general, this is a great book and it gives fair information about Santeria. I highly recommended it.
