the existence of a wide array of arguments and methodologies.The essay
also provides the reader with a brief introduction to some of the elements
and concepts of this religion.Leach, Lessa and Vogt, eds.The Theory of Social Disorganization and
the Theory of Deprivation are two examples of this type of approach.All of these in turn are defined within
the role which they may play in a social context at large.Although the fieldwork resulting from these studies is of relevance, I
believe that the aforementioned approaches are inconclusive.This is because, from a methodological point of view, they begin
by establishing a series of categories that reduce social reality to yet
another set of categories.They should be
recognized as research tools that serve the sole purpose of drawing
methodological boundaries.Rather than abstracting from the data, a structural approach uses
comparison between elements in categories, to render proximity.Since it
also attempts to retain the richness in texture that is so characteristic
of religion, it maintains that the constituent units "have no meaning by
themselves, they acquire it only because of the way in which they are
combined."In addition, the structuralist approach does not see religion as a passive
activity and even the ordering "of Nature is not mechanically registered
but created by human agency...Structuralism: Roger Bastide's Methodology
In the structuralist methodology outlined by the anthropologist Roger
Bastide, he compares 'Preserved' and 'Living' religions.Preserved'
religions are those that are the result and expression of a threatened
culture's will to resist, to preserve its ethnic identity by crystallizing
tradition and removing it from the flux of history."Catholic indigeneous religious practices to the extent
that these have become secularized and assimilated into folklore.Preserved' religions (Bastide, 1971: 99), in Puerto Rico, the diverse
elements of the cult should be examined from the point of view of it being
a 'Living' religion.Following this approach can perhaps render some interesting insights and
help explain why the cult's syncretist aspects do not really change
through time, but rather these remain "on the plane of coexistence between
disparate objects."Bastide, 1971: 155) It also can allow us to
understand why "although in religious practices Catholic images are used,
its only Christian element lies in that exterior manifestation because in
rigor it believes in idols and is pagan."We can visualize these syncretist elements as
modalities that exist in a continuum.The existence of the Indian traditions at one end of the
continuum may be due to the demographic regression that eliminated a large
percentage of the Indian population during the early stages of imperialist
dominance by Spain.Yoruba deities are identified with Catholic saints.Mesa Blanca, on the other hand, implies the existence of a hierarchical
structure in which spirits are organized from the most to the least
developed, or impure, spirits.Their existence as a
separate quarter depends on the economic welfare of the household.In the domestic altar we can observe some of the integral aspects of the
cult's teleology.Cabrera, 1974: 266) They can also be
assigned by a Babalawo, or high priest of the cult.This means that the
talisman must undergo certain rituals.Through these rituals it is
verified that it is indeed "animated by a supernatural force of an Oricha"
(Cabrera, 1974: 266) It is not unusual for a talisman to be bestowed in
connection with rituals of initiation to the cult.These attributes are
assemblages of objects that are part of the narrative through which the
symbolic representation of the saint occurs.Cabrera, 1974: 268) These saint
images are described as representing "the saints who are the protectors of
the mediunidad."Harwood, 1976: 62) but in the home they are the
protectors of the family.Harwood, 1976: 62) In the ritual, candles can also be used to "dispel an
intranquil spirit from the house, as part of the rite of sorcery, and in
request to a saint for help."Delgado, 1979: 7) The use of these items can be observed in the
practice of rituals 'simple' exorcisms.Simple Rituals
These are the rituals that constitutes a part of everyday life.Riegos
are concoctions of herbs, water, and alcohol used to clean the floor of
the house.The positive aspect of Sahumerios and riegos is that they are used to
dispel evil influences.Deities and Spirits of the Cult
In the mythology, the creation of the earth from matter is an event that
can be empirically observed and understood.It is also explained in
relation to the genealogy of the Yoruba pantheon.It is also a commonly held belief that it
is a "very different god, who never comes down to earth and who never
becomes possessed in the body of a believer."Like Osain, he is
syncretized as Saint Joseph.His Ileke is a large, white bead, followed by
nine red beads and eight yellow beads.In
some myths, he is the creator of the human race.In others, he is the
creator of the human head (or brain).This includes the bone structure and the brains, He represents purity and
peace, and is one of the most powerful Orichas.His syncretist
representation is Our Lady of Mercy.His Ileke is made of all white beads.The syncretist representation is Our
Lady of la Regla.Orunla (or Orummila): Created by Olodumare "sometime after the creation
of the earth."He is syncretized as Saint
Francis of Assisi and his Ileke is a green bead alternating with a yellow
bead.Oko: "God of fields and harvests."He is represented by a leprous old man
accompanied by two dogs."Wippler 1973: 28) He is syncretized as
Saint Lazarous and his Ileke is made from black beads.Osain: The god of herbs and curative plants, he has no particular Ileke
that we know about.Interesting to note is that all the Ilekes are bathed
in herbs before they are bestowed."God of fire, thunder and lightning."Wippler 1973: 26)
"The one who becomes bigger the more he screams."Oke: "God of the mountains and protector of those who live in high places.Wippler 1973: 28) "The
owner of gold, she can give it or take it away."Efunde 1978: 52)
She is synchretized as Our Lady of La Caridad del Cobre and her Ilekes are
yellow.They are believed to control every aspect of human life.Delgado, 1979: 4) The role of the Santiguadores and Herbalists
can be either fulfilled by a medium or a Santero, or by a senior member of
the community."Destruction and chaos, if present, are not finite,
negative things, but part of a dynamic process that clears the path for
the evolution of life.Chicheruku en el Exilio, 1974)."Folk Medicine in Puerto Rican Culture," Reprint from
