Why was SanteriaGuide.com created?
By Ali Romero, Founder
We launched SanteriaGuide in 2019 after noticing how hard it was to find accurate, respectful information—and genuinely handmade ritual items—outside closed initiatory circles. I started this journey because I wanted to make it easier for anyone, regardless of background, to access beautiful, spiritually appropriate tools at a fair price.
My name is Ali Romero, and I founded SanteriaGuide to demystify Afro-Cuban spiritual practices while safeguarding their integrity. Whether you're just beginning your spiritual journey or deepening your path, I wanted to create a place that felt trustworthy, welcoming, and deeply rooted in tradition.
