Winti is a traditional Afro-Surinamese religion. The term is also used for all supernatural beings created by Anana Keduaman Keduampon, the creator of the universe.
The Wintis were brought to Suriname by West African slaves during the slavery period. The winning religion has no written sources or a central authority.
All winstis consist of benign and malevolent aspects. They are partly hereditary and, like the ancestral spirits, they watch over all family members from a certain family tree, who honor them and make sacrifices in gratitude.
However, if one breaks the spiritual rules and laws, this can lead to retaliation by the Wintis. One can achieve spiritual reconciliation and balance by taking certain ritual (herbal) baths and performing certain ritual actions.
