It is probable that most of these queer practices were introduced by the blacks who brought their strange beliefs from Africa. The belief in the Evil Spirit was doubtless the result of their early contact with the aboriginal Cubans, who worshipped the devil. The society of igos was first introduced in Cuba in 1836 by a cabildo of the Carabal nation; many conjectures as to its origin have been put forward, but it is most probable that a priest or Chief of the African institution called anguitua, was brought to Cuba as a slave and here resumed his official character among his enslaved countrymen.
