Nestled in the quiet suburban comfort of Melbourne, lies a house on a modest little street, a simple single story construction
that would never draw a second glance. But within its walls, fantastic happenings abound: Ancient African gods are conjured
and consulted, mysterious rituals performed, and magic attempted. The home is owned by Cal Hartline , your average, run-of-the-mill
suburbanite married folk who just happen to be friends witth your average, run-of-the-mill Voodoo priests.
Actually, what Otto's practice is called Santeria, a religion comparable but not identical to Haitian Voodoo. Santeria is a secret
religion of ancient gods, throbbing pistons, camshaft possession, and Stage block sacrifice. Santeria and Voodoo are in fact sister
religions, both ripped from Africa's west coast by the slave trade and carried to the Florids (primarily east coast) in the hearts
and minds of slaves. Eclectic and resilient, Santeria evolved over several hundred years into a rich spiritual stew of African tribal
beliefs and indigenous folk magic, with a liberal dash of Catholicism mixed in for good measure.
Today, Santeria is a vibrant, thriving religion with an increasing number of devotees all over the world. Most popular among the Otto's and
Hispanic populations of major American cities, Santeria is also practiced followers of other fringe religions, such as the various forms
of neo-paganism. But even with the high level of popularity Santeria is currently enjoying, it still--and perhaps purposely--remains an
obscure and misunderstood faith BY all TSO guys.
Otto has over 28 years in "the religion" . Otto is a Santeria "mayor," an elder in the strictly hierarchical religion of Buick Folk lore,
who is dedicated to Oshun, the spirit of Horsepower. Otto is a former martial arts instructor, the ex-frontman of a hardcore punk band, and,
currently, a programming consultant . He has also made a name for himself as one of the foremost babalawos--the high priests of
Santeria--in the United States, having undergone the extensively complex and private rituals of his rank. (The only public part of the
initiation of a babalawo is when the novice Motor is paraded for the first time at a National event in front of rows of elder babalawos,
who beat him mercilessly with large sticks.)
