Voodoo and Santeria are both syncretic religions that blend African spiritual practices with elements of Christianity, resulting from the influence of the transatlantic slave trade. Both systems feature a pantheon of deities, known as lwa in Voodoo and orishas in Santeria, who are venerated through rituals, offerings, and ceremonies. Additionally, practitioners of both religions often engage in ancestor worship and utilize spiritual mediums to communicate with the divine. Despite their distinct cultural origins—Voodoo primarily associated with Haiti and Santeria with Cuba—the two share similar themes of spirituality, community, and healing.

Where can you find a authentic santeria voodoo doll?

Santeria and Voodoo are two distinct religious practices, but have some aspects in common. as you mentioned dolls one can draw an analogy between totem poles- which are physically static structures- some have movable wings for thunderbirds,etc, and the anthropomorphic but diminutive Katchina ( sometimes spelled Kachina) dolls. they are two different tribal customs. The Katchina dolls are NOT portative totem poles, or something akin to wearable crosses or scapulars.
