There's not terribly much out there on the web.  This is what I could find:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=chibcha+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=muisca+%28religion%2C+god%2C+goddess%2C+myth%2C+mythology%2C+folklore%2C+folktales%29&btnG=Search\n\nThis book is out-of-print, but there seems to be one used available on Amazon: \n"Some folk-tales of the Chibcha Nation" by Malbone W Graham\n\nThere are more (also out-of-print) books listed at Amazon if you search for "Chibcha" or "Muisca," but they are all in Spanish.

La Chupacabra!\n\nSorry.\n\nJust don't call yourselves the steers.  A college team in Texas is called that.  ('steer' means a castrated bull)

Voodoo is a derivative of the world’s oldest known religions which have been around in Africa since the beginning of human civilization. Some conservative estimates these civilizations and religions to be over 10 000 years old. This then identify Voodoo as probably the best example of African syncretism in the Americas. Although its essential wisdom originated in different parts of Africa long before the Europeans started the slave trade, the structure of Voodoo, as we know it today, was born in Haiti during the European colonization of Hispaniola. Ironically, it was the enforced immigration of enslaved African from different ethnic groups that provided the circumstances for the development of Voodoo. European colonists thought that by desolating the ethnic groups, these could not come together as a community. However, in the misery of slavery, the transplanted Africans found in their faith a common thread. \n\nThey began to invoke not only their own Gods, but to practice rites other than their own. In this process, they comingled and modified rituals of various ethnic groups. The result of such fusion was that the different religious groups integrated their beliefs, thereby creating a new religion: Voodoo. The word "voodoo" comes from the West African word "vodun," meaning spirit. This Afro-Caribbean religion mixed practices from many African ethnics groups such as the Fon, the Nago, the Ibos, Dahomeans, Congos, Senegalese, Haussars, Caplaous, Mondungues, Mandinge, Angolese, Libyans, Ethiopians, and the Malgaches.

If you read history you know Spain had a queen when Columbus sailed the blue in 1492.  They also had Counts but the noacounts went with Columbus.  So, there you have it in a nutty shell.  Social class in Spainland.  For more information ask a Spainperson.  One of my friends is from Spain, taught Spanish in high school until retiring last year and he had lots of class.

The Aztecs, or more properly, the Mexicas, for whom the later Republic of Mexico was named, were a Mesoamerican people of central Mexico in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries. They were a civilization with a rich mythology and cultural heritage. Their capital was Tenochtitlan, built on raised islets in Lake Texcoco – the site of modern-day Mexico City. The Aztec empire produced the biggest demographic explosion in Mesoamerica: the population grew from an estimated 10 million to 15 million.

That's a good question. Since Wicca is a catch all term for many different beliefs.  \n\nI would state it as such:\n\nWicca is a pagan religion based on the traditional Pre-Christian European faiths. It is NOT witchcraft although many Wiccans do consider Wicca to be a form of witchcraft, however Wicca has a distinct set of beliefs, ritual system and organizational structures that distinguish it from other forms of witchcraft. \n\nThe fundamental theology is a belief is a god and a goddess although Wicca tends to be more Matriarchal in nature. Wiccans observe the festivals of the eight Sabbats (festivals) of the year and the full-moon (Caled Esbats);have a code of ethics they live by and hold dear and use spells, herbalism, and performing other magic to bring themselves closer to their goddess and god as well as to their natural being. \n\nThe Morality of Wicca is simple and has been summarized in The Wiccan Rede and can be further condensed into "In it harm none, do what ye will." The idea is that so long as no one is harmed, everything is good. Wicca revolves aroung the idea of universal goodness and love. \n\nYou can also explain that there are a number of Wiccan traditions such as Faery Wicca, Alexandrian Wicca, Seax-Wica, Celtic Wicca, Kemetic Wicca and yes, even Christian Wicca. \n\nThat should help explain it to your sister. I hope this helps.

I think santaria is a very interesting example of religious syncretism between west african beliefs and catholicism.  I am not Catholic but I think if someone is true to Catholicism and the legitimacy of the pope then they would have to reject Santaria.  That is just my opinion though.  I find it very interesting how much variation there is in catholicism despite the authority of the vatican.

Yes, but some take offense at the word "Witches" because it has implications of bad. \nWicca is a branch of Paganism. Wiccans are sometimes reffered to as witches. It is a religion with Gods and Goddesses, and yes, magic. A lot of the rituals are based on nature, and most Wiccans don't belive in hurting people or cursing people, as that can have strong reprecussions.

They are commonly known as Friends, they usually speak Dutch or German.  They are also known as Quakers or a sect of the Quakers, Puritans, Amish, or Mennonites.  They all started as one organization and progressed at varying degrees and hence changed their names and what they accepted.  Very interesting sociological society to study.
