About Us
SanteriaGuide was born from a simple conviction: the sacred tools of the Orisha tradition deserve to be made by hands that understand them.

Who We Are
We are practitioners first and artisans second. Every eleke, ilde, mazo, and ceremonial tool in our catalog is handmade in accordance with tradition — the correct colors, the correct counts, the correct patterns for each Orisha.
The site is for anyone on the path — the newly curious planning their first eleke, godparents preparing an iyawó’s coronation, and crowned practitioners who need a careful, reliable hand for their tools. Beyond the shop, we publish a growing library of teachings: guides to each Orisha, patakis organized by oddun, ritual how-tos and Lucumí vocabulary, alongside our video channel, where we show how each piece is made and how to care for it once it reaches your altar.
We make every piece we sell, write every guide, and film every video, and we ship each order ourselves — usually the next business day — from Texas.
Our word
Our Promise
Authenticity
Every piece follows the traditional patterns passed down through lineages.
Craftsmanship
Handmade in small batches, never mass-produced.
Education
Our blog library exists so you understand what you're receiving and why it matters.
Whether you’re an iyawó preparing for coronation, a santero replacing well-worn tools, or a seeker taking your first steps, we’re honored to serve your journey.
