The Misteris in Other Beliefs

The following list is a list of various synchronism within Afro Caribbean Spirituality, Taino indigenous deities and their closest correspondence with a Catholic Saint or Angel.  On this list you will have the Catholic Spirit, the Puerto Rican Jefes and Misterios of the Sanse and Dominican 21 Division Religions with those of Cuban Santetia and Palo Monte, Haitian Vodou, and the growing interest in Puerto Rican Taino Spirts known as the Cemis (Zemis).  The Catholic Saint used on this list are the 'Punto or Camino' or paths that followers of Puerto Rican Espiritismo and Sanse use to  synchronism with the Loases Spirits known as Los Misterios, and is a bit different within each Caribbean island.  Where possible some Brazilian Umbanda and Candomble Orixa have been included.

Going into a Puerto Rican house, be the family Catholic, Espiritista, Brujos or Sancista, one will notice hanging above the front door or near the entrance of the home an image of the Patroness Mother of Puerto Rico, Our Lady of Providence.  many know her by that name, but also some say it is the ancient Taino Cemi Atabey in disguise, on her lap is the new born Yocahu.
