As far as I can remember, orishas aren't considered gods in Santeria, probably due to the syncretism (I don't know their status in Yorubaland, but are the orishas of Afrika really the same as those of Cuba?). There's just a few things I'm not sure of:ฤก. I already know a lot of the things they like and could easily involve them in ritual.not sure what I'd do if one of them asked for a chicken, though, lol. I feel really comfortable with Chango and Yemaya has always felt like a mother figure to me. Chango still sticks out in my mind, though, as does Yemaya, and I started to wonder tonight if they could be my Matron and Patron. I've been reading a lot and just sorta thinking about which deities I'd like to have as my Matron and Patron.not making any decisions, just studying mythology and learning. I finally stumbled onto some Wiccan sources who actually sound like reasonable, sane people and suddenly it's starting to make sense. Up until recently, Wicca has always felt a little silly to me.maybe I was reading the wrong books or something.I thought it was a lot of talking to fairies and frolicking under the full moon. Well, a few things changed and I decided Santeria just isn't for me. I was involved with Santeria a few years ago, received my warriors and had my head marked by Chango.
