	Tarot Lukumi Review
		The Lukumi Tarot shows events from the legends and stories of the Spiritual Intelligences who are the Orishas of the Lukumi pantheon which is called La Regla Ocha or La Regla Lukumi.
		The Tarot Lukumi by Luigi Scapini and Tata Emanuele Coltro Guidi is the first Tarot Deck dedicated entirely to the Afro-Cuban Orisha Spiritual system known the world over as Santeria, and to its practitioners as Lukumi.
		The Lukumi Tarot, is just that, a true Tarot deck, that is a feast to the eyes, and pleasant enough that both the Orisha community as well as the Tarot community can enjoy this deck.

	A Tribute to Lukumi Orisha Arts and Artists
		Since time immemorial, Lukumi Olorishas have expressed their devotion to their orishas through different artistic expressions that for the most part have not been given due recognition for their aesthetic value.
		Lukumi artists do not see themselves as artists nor do they consider that their creations are unique artistic productions.
		The artist must be familiar with the general aesthetic preferences of the orishas to whom they are catering and often the specific preferences of an orishas roads, or avatars, as well.

	Supreme Court did not OK animal sacrifices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		On the day following the issuance of the Supreme Court's decision in the case of the Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye last week, most major newspapers carried headlines proclaiming that the court held that animal sacrifice is protected by the First Amendment freedom of religion clause.
		At issue in the Lukumi case were six Hialeah, Fla., ordinances that collectively banned animal sacrifice, slaughter and the keeping of animals for sacrifice or slaughter.
		Third, a reading of Lukumi that all animal killing would have to be prohibited if Santeria sacrifices are prohibited would, in effect, overrule Smith.

	CNN.com - Supreme Court issues monumental free exercise ruling - Feb. 27, 2004
		Here is their position: They read Lukumi to mean that any time a statute even mentions religion, or uses religion or houses of worship as a separate category within its framework, strict scrutiny must automatically be applied.
		Lukumi, of course, is not the only precedent that is relevant.
		Smith says religious believers are subject to general, neutral laws; whereas the broad reading of Lukumi says that religious believers are to be treated specially, with all laws that impact them subject to a special, higher degree of scrutiny.
