During the 1990s, two of the three popular religions of African origin in Cuba underwent institutionalization processes with the emergence of the Cuban Yoruba Cultural Association (ACYC) and the Abaku\u00e1 Bureau, grouping, in the first case Santeria followers, and in the second, \u00d1\u00e1\u00f1igo practitioners, frequently associated to criminal activities and marginality and therefore stigmatized from the social point of view and marked by classist and racist damaging remarks strongly inherited from the colonial era.<\/span><\/p>\n

These institutions constituted a break with the traditional forms of worship, which especially in the case of Santeros work at a horizontal level and without the need for structures for the practical-spiritual life of believers. It is not a matter of cathedrals or administrative structures of faith, such as those of the Catholic Church, but undoubtedly its very existence introduced a change, not only to deviate from custom, but also to consider itself an expression of the ruling government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both arose in the context of the 4th Congress of the Party (1991) and the reform of the Constitution (1992), which defined the Cuban State as secular, resuming an active tradition from the 19th century Cuban Constitutions, but in effect discontinued with the practice of the so-called scientific atheism, adopted during the period of institutionalization under Soviet cultural influence.<\/span><\/p>\n

As it is known, on December 31 the ceremony for the Letter of the Year is held, in which the sign is determined that will govern through the consultation of the Ifa Oracle, a secret ritual in charge of a group of Babalawos or Ifa priests. The Letter augurs social, natural events, diseases and other events, and recommends the measures to be followed by believers to mitigate them.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of the 1990s, there were two Letters in Cuba: that of the Yoruba Cultural Association and that of the 10 de Octubre municipality, which placed believers and observers in a kind of race to see which arrow hit the target most accurately. In a culture where polarization is usually the norm, there is not much room for no man\u2019s land – and these believers were no exception. It is a phenomenon with impacts not only in countries like Mexico, Venezuela, Spain and the United States, but also in very different ones such as Finland or Russia, where the Regla de Ocha (Santeria) has gotten to through the Cuban emigration and other concurrences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Yoruba culture it was a practice that was carried out in June, associated with the yam harvest, but when it passed to the island it underwent a process of transculturation and therefore it was made to coincide with the activities for the new year of the western culture. Eclecticism thrives in the Kingdom of this World, beginning with the fact that violins are played for the deities and Obatal\u00e1 is offered cakes, non-African cultural artifacts that arrive via Spain and the United States, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new context also made it necessary to make certain adjustments, such as replacing the cola nut with pieces of coconut. The transplanted branch of the original tree preserves things from the original – but it is different. This explains why Catholic elements appear in the process of preparing the Letter, such as attending a church to pay homage to deceased practitioners and Babalawos before the It\u00e1 ceremony, where the main Odu of the year will come from If\u00e1\u2019s mat, escorted by two other secondary ones that complete its fundamental sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of 2016, the leaders of the two main groups decided to join to issue a single Letter, a decision announced at a press conference. Both L\u00e1zaro Cuesta, founder of the Commission for the Letter of the Year, and Jos\u00e9 Manuel P\u00e9rez Andino, the new president of the Association, ratified the agreement. A move that, as they said, had the support of a large majority of Cuban religious houses. The objective was obvious: “that the new and unique Letter of the Year guarantee a greater confidence of the Ocha and If\u00e1 practitioners in Cuba and avoid the already frequent confusions.”<\/span><\/p>\n
