Asiento

The last ritual of the initiation process is known as Asiento(ascending the throne), and is the most

important and the most secretive ritual in Santera, as it is the ceremony where the iyawo(bride of the

oricha) becomes "born again" into the faith. This ritual is a culmination of the previous rituals, and

cannot be made unless the others have been completed. siento is a process of purification and

divination whereby the initiated becomes like a newborn baby and begins a new life of deeper growth

within the faith.!#$%%&
