In Santería, sacred texts are often oral traditions rather than written scriptures, though some practitioners refer to texts like the "Cuentos de los Santos," which narrate the stories of the Orishas. Sacred sites include altars (orishas’ shrines) and locations such as rivers or mountains believed to be inhabited by spirits. Sacred symbols include the use of beads (elekes), the Yoruba cosmogram (the "Odu"), and specific colors associated with each Orisha, which represent their attributes and powers.
