Santeria Priests Mum On Castro, Warn On Climate
Author: Patrick Markey, Reuters Source: Yahoo
Title: SANTERIA PRIESTS MUM ON CASTRO, WARN ON CLIMATE
Priests offering New Year's prophecies from Cuba's Afro-Cuban religion on Wednesday gave few hints on the future of convalescing leader Fidel Castro and instead warned about dangerous climate change and epidemics.
Many Cubans eagerly await annual predictions from the Santeria religion, which is practiced by 3 million people in Cuba and uses animal sacrifices to contact Yoruba deities originally worshiped by slaves brought from Africa.
Santeria priests, known as babalawos, steered clear of politics in this year's prophecies, instead warning about an environmental crisis, disease and crime.
They noted an improving economy and said they planned sacrifices to better the lives of the majority of Cubans.

Wonder about that environmental crisis - could be anything? Maybe one of the old missles will blow up and contaminate everything?

The weather seems easier to predict thse days. As for Castro, perhaps they realize he has already planned on implimenting his hold on Cuba after his demise, when his relatives take power.
