Deliverance from Rituals: Understanding Santeria, Brujeria, and Voodoo in Spiritual Warfare
Lion of Judah Prophetic Worship Center, Inc. Discover how animal sacrifices, drumming, dancing, and chanting are used to summon and communicate with Orishas.
Santeria
- Origins: A syncretic blend of African Yoruba beliefs and Spanish Catholicism, developed during the transatlantic slave trade.
- Deities (Orishas): Worship centers on Orishas, divine beings believed to guide human destiny and intercede in life’s affairs.
- Rituals: Practices include animal sacrifices, drumming, dancing, and chanting to summon and communicate with Orishas.
- Offerings: Food, fruits, and drinks are presented to honor Orishas.
- Initiation: A process of rites binding practitioners to a specific Orisha for spiritual empowerment and guidance.
From a prophetic deliverance perspective, Santeria represents a counterfeit to true divine worship, as it seeks spiritual intervention from created beings rather than the Creator Himself. The prophetic anointing dismantles these strongholds, liberating individuals bound to Orishas and aligning them with the truth of God's sovereignty.

Animal Sacrifices
At Lion of Judah Prophetic Worship Center, Inc, we honor only the true and living God,
Brujeria
- Origins: Stemming from ancient Spanish and Portuguese folk traditions, Brujeria evolved in Latin America by incorporating indigenous and African influences.
- Practices: Involves spell-casting, divination, and herbalism for healing, protection, or harm.
- Intention: Dual-natured; it can be used for benevolent purposes or malevolent acts.
- Spiritual Beings: Interactions with saints, spirits, and supernatural entities are central to its practice.
- Secrecy: Often practiced discreetly due to societal stigma and taboo.
Prophetic deliverance reveals the deception in Brujeria by exposing its reliance on manipulative spiritual forces. Through the authority of Christ, those bound by curses or agreements made in Brujeria are set free, declaring, "If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36).
Voodoo
- Origins: Rooted in West African Vodun, Voodoo adapted through the slave diaspora in Haiti and New Orleans.
- Deities (Loa): Centers on the worship of Loa, spirits who act as intermediaries between Bondye (the Creator) and humanity.
- Rituals: Practices include drumming, dancing, chanting, and spirit possession, with altars and offerings dedicated to Loa.
- Syncretism: Merges Catholic saint veneration with traditional African spirituality.
- Community: Focused on communal rituals and mutual aid.
Voodoo's spiritual foundations often perpetuate generational bondage through covenants with Loa. Prophetic deliverance breaks these ties, declaring God's supremacy over all spiritual powers: "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth" (Philippians 2:10).

Drumming, Dancing, and Chanting
These rituals also involve the rhythmic beats of drums, the graceful movements of dance, and the powerful chants they use to call upon the Orishas. All these practices are forbidden by God, we are here to bring deliverance.
