The Lucumi Practitioner’s Handbook

How to be safe in an unfamiliar environment

By: Daniela R De Armas

The recent explosion of social media has led to a huge amount of shared information regarding the path of Orisha. This has led to a rise in consciousness regarding Lucumi ( Aka; Santeria). This branch of Orisha practice has its roots in Cuba, but has travelled far beyond its birthplace. Consequently, there has been a shift in the access of information and scams and charlatans are commonplace. Fractured relationships are frequent. This book is a self-help book which explains the basics of our traditions and how to spot red flags. For those already practising the religion, there is a chapter on how to negotiate being a Godparent and how to create healthy communities. Caring for our planet and our mental health is also addressed. What are the new challenges we face as a community in this technological age? This book acknowledges the need to protect our traditions, safe-guarding secrets, whilst promoting a quest for knowledge. It is a call to reframe our traditions, born from slavery and trauma in a healthy way which acknowledges the unhealthy relationships that exist within the traditional hierarchical structure. This book is for all following the Lucumi way of life and those who aspire to do so.

The Return of the Moor

Spanish Responses to Contemporary Moroccan Immigration

By: Daniela Flesler

With the intense economic development and accelerated modernization experienced by Spain since the 1970s, and especially following its entrance to the European Economic Community in 1986, the country has undergone a rapid inversion in migratory patterns. After being an exporter of economic migrants for almost a century, in the last 20 years Spain has seen itself on the receiving end of immigration. Coinciding with a time when Spain is highlighting its belonging to Europe, the growing presence of Moroccan immigrants in particular confronts Spanish society with the repressed non-European, African and Oriental aspects of its national identity. The Return of the Moorexamines the anxiety over symbolic and literal boundaries permeating the Spanish reception of these immigrants through an interdisciplinary analysis of social, fictional and performative texts. It argues that Moroccans constitute a "problem" to Spaniards not because of their cultural differences, as many claim, but because they are not different enough. Perceived as "Moors," they conjure up past ghosts that continue to haunt the Spanish imaginary, revealing the acute tensions inherent to Spain's tenuous position between Europe and Africa.
