The subject of the litigation was a sacramental act, and it is worth stating what kind of act it is without turning the entry into a manual.
In Lucumi practice, offerings are made to the orishas, and some of those offerings are animals. The killing is done by a person with the standing to do it, in a setting with liturgical form, and in most ceremonies the animal is then cooked and eaten by the participants. That last point was in the litigation record and it is the point most often left out of writing about the religion, because a rite that ends in a shared meal is much harder to present as an atrocity than one that ends at the knife.
The atlas describes and does not instruct. There is no procedure here, no sequence, no list of which animal answers to which orisha, and no account of who may perform any of it. That material belongs to initiated practitioners, is transmitted within houses of the religion by people who have the standing to transmit it, and is not the atlas's to reproduce. Scholars who have written well about Lucumi, David H. Brown and Mercedes Cros Sandoval among them, are describing a living practice with its consent and its constraints, and reading them as a set of instructions is a misuse of their work.
The religion also came to Florida the way it came to Cuba, through people who were transported and who kept what they could of what they knew. Writing about its rites as an exotic problem of public order repeats, in a milder register, the frame that produced the ordinances.
