The slave trade towards America was a millionaire business, the Spanish and Portuguese traffickers (that is why the expression "Goes with a license", meaning license as permission in Portuguese) took into account the physical conditions of its human merchandise. , then sent to America slaves between 14 and 19 years... Which meant that priests with little experience in Afro-descendant cults will arrive on our lands... No slave owner dared to take the risk for reasons that there was a slave law He said: "Slaves who are old or ill cannot work, should be fed by their owners and can not be given freedom" So how did Santeria or Palo Monte arrive?

In several books that I have investigated and conversations... The Bantues were the first to transmit through signatures what we know as their knowledge with their partners, because they had a muzzle and was forbidden to communicate ... and through strokes they did on the ground (there were no cement floors) with their fingers communicated if there was any dead (skull, if there was a Spaniard with the cross and the family with the circle) then this became an encrypted method of communication that allowed rebellions of the blacks.

The Bantues from very small were hunters and this technique worked not to give away the position with respect to some animal, from as soon as 6 years were initiated in the hunting, which implied to imitate and observe hunting techniques, herbal medicine and use of the same for the poisoning of the dams. This training could last for years but it was learning by doing, so it implies that those who came to America had a basic knowledge or were in training period.

In the same way, it happened with the Yorubas who at that young age were brought as slaves and had little more than the knowledge of those divinatory arts.

As the years passed and these slaves had children, they reached agreements to teach the Yoruba el Palo and the Bantu the Osha, so that if they were sold, the remaining one could teach their culture to the children of the absent one.
