My partner (and all her family) are catholic but believe in maria lionza and other figures associated with the cult of maria lionza that I believe is connected to Santeria(?) She wants to go to Sorte in Venezuela to some kind of Maria Lionza ceremony but I am unsure if they would let us in as she was born abroad, I am asian and neither of us have been formally initiated into the cult of maria lionza. Obviously theres a ton of pagan events in europe who have a completely open door policy- are santeria events like this? I understand the religion is very non dogmatic perhaps someone has a broad insight into this

Para la mayoría deberías poder entrar a ver pero también hay ceremonias privadas,por ejemplo a un tambor deberías poder entrar, lo mismo a un aguan por ejemplo, pero a ceremonias como cuartos de santo, juramentos e ifas posiblemente no
Lol people are so random. Why are you asking us this? How would we even know? Isn’t there a more specific sub where you can ask this kind of thing?
I’ve never been to such things, also I have never known anyone who has attended a santería ceremony.
Not that I’m saying that there’s no people in Colombia practicing some syncretism of Catholicism and tribe rites, but what I’m saying is that it’s pretty much uncommon.
