Trinidad Orisha, also known as Shango, is a syncretic religion of Caribbean origin, originally from West Africa (Yoruba religion) influenced by Roman Catholicism. Trinidad Orisha incorporates elements of Spiritual Baptism, and the closeness between Orisha and Spiritual Baptism has led to use of the term "Shango Baptist" to refer to members of either or both religions. Anthropologist James Houk described Trinidad Orisha as an "Afro-American religious complex", incorporating elements of West African religion, Christianity (Catholicism and Protestantism), Hinduism, and Trinidad Kabbalah (an esoteric practice deriving from European mysticism).
