Book Synopsis NICE TO MEET YOU, I AM UMBANDA. A BRAZILIAN RELIGION by : Matias Ivan Salvador
Download or read book NICE TO MEET YOU, I AM UMBANDA. A BRAZILIAN RELIGION written by Matias Ivan Salvador and published by Matias Ivan Salvador. This book was released on with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Umbanda is a religion that flourishes in diversity and the beauty of plurality. It embraces religious syncretism as one of its fundamental principles, blending Christianity, African traditions, and Indigenous and spiritualist beliefs into a sacred harmony. The Christian God, the Creator, and Jesus Christ as the spiritual guide are revered, alongside the African Orixás, powerful ancestral entities that represent the forces of nature and life. The connection with ancestors, through spiritual communication, reinforces Umbanda’s deep bond with spirituality and the respect for those who came before us. In Umbanda, there is no room for prejudice. Homosexuality is treated with the same respect and dignity as any other form of human existence. No distinctions are made based on color, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Everyone is welcomed in the temple, at the altar, and in the religious practice. Acceptance of diversity is an integral part of what makes Umbanda a universal and inclusive religion, a space where all can feel embraced and loved without exception. The practice of charity is one of Umbanda’s fundamental pillars. Helping others, whether through spiritual passes, guidance, or material acts, is the most genuine expression of love and compassion. Here, followers are not bound by rigid dogmas or an oppressive religious hierarchy. Umbanda offers spiritual freedom, allowing each person to find their own path within the faith, with an open heart and a mind ready for constant learning. Born in Brazil, Umbanda is deeply rooted in Brazilian culture, but its teachings and principles are universal. It respects all religions, understanding that each spiritual path has its own value and importance. Umbanda does not place itself above other traditions but coexists peacefully with all forms of belief, promoting dialogue and understanding between different expressions of faith. Additionally, Umbanda serves as a direct channel for communication with spirits. Through mediums, spiritual guides deliver messages of wisdom, healing, and love. This spiritual exchange strengthens the faith and the connection of practitioners with the invisible world, showing that life continues in another dimension and that spirits are always present, offering help and protection. This book is an invitation to explore and understand the richness of this Brazilian religion, which transcends borders, breaks down barriers, and teaches us the true meaning of tolerance, brotherhood, and universal faith. As you immerse yourself in these pages, may you feel the vibrant energy of Umbanda and discover a new spiritual horizon.
Book Synopsis Hearing the Mermaid's Song by : Lindsay Hale
Download or read book Hearing the Mermaid's Song written by Lindsay Hale and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2009-09-16 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Umbanda religion summons the spirits of old slaves and Brazilian Indians to speak through the mouths of mediums in trance. Its practitioners worship African gods, often calling them by the names of Catholic saints; simultaneously embrace the concepts of karma, reincarnation, and Christian charity; and believe in the capacities of both modern science and ancient magic. A relatively new religion dating to the beginning of the twentieth century, Umbanda has its origins in Rio de Janeiro and its surrounding urban areas where Afro-Brazilians, many ex-slaves or the descendants of slaves, practiced versions of the religion handed down to them by their ancestors. Umbanda's popularity has grown tremendously over the past century, attracting not only those who seek the assistance of spirits in solving problems in their lives, but those in pursuit of a path to a rich spiritual life and a fellowship of faith and service. Over the course of nearly a decade, Lindsay Hale spent countless hours attending rituals and festivals and interviewing participants of Umbanda, immersing himself in this fascinating religious world. In describing its many aspects and exploring its unique place within the lives of a wide variety of practitioners, Hale places Umbanda spiritual beliefs and practices within the broader context of Brazilian history and culture.

Book Synopsis Searching for Africa in Brazil by : Stefania Capone Laffitte
Download or read book Searching for Africa in Brazil written by Stefania Capone Laffitte and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2010-05-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Searching for Africa in Brazil is a learned exploration of tradition and change in Afro-Brazilian religions. Focusing on the convergence of anthropologists’ and religious leaders’ exegeses, Stefania Capone argues that twentieth-century anthropological research contributed to the construction of an ideal Afro-Brazilian religious orthodoxy identified with the Nagô (Yoruba) cult in the northeastern state of Bahia. In contrast to other researchers, Capone foregrounds the agency of Candomblé leaders. She demonstrates that they successfully imposed their vision of Candomblé on anthropologists, reshaping in their own interest narratives of Afro-Brazilian religious practice. The anthropological narratives were then taken as official accounts of religious orthodoxy by many practitioners of Afro-Brazilian religions in Brazil. Capone draws on ten years of ethnographic fieldwork in Salvador de Bahia and Rio de Janeiro as she demonstrates that there is no pure or orthodox Afro-Brazilian religion. Challenging the usual interpretations of Afro-Brazilian religions as fixed entities, completely independent of one another, Capone reveals these practices as parts of a unique religious continuum. She does so through an analysis of ritual variations as well as discursive practices. To illuminate the continuum of Afro-Brazilian religious practice and the tensions between exegetic discourses and ritual practices, Capone focuses on the figure of Exu, the sacred African trickster who allows communication between gods and men. Following Exu and his avatars, she discloses the centrality of notions of prestige and power—mystical and religious—in Afro-Brazilian religions. To explain how religious identity is constantly negotiated among social actors, Capone emphasizes the agency of practitioners and their political agendas in the “return to roots,” or re-Africanization, movement, an attempt to recover the original purity of a mythical and legitimizing Africa.

Book Synopsis Fluid Spirits by : Diana Espirito Santo
Download or read book Fluid Spirits written by Diana Espirito Santo and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Umbanda is an urban 20th-century phenomenon, often described in the literature as Brazil¿s first ¿national¿¿or truly ¿Brazilian¿¿ religion. Early on, Umbanda was thought to bridge elitist forms of European-derived spirit mediumship and racially stigmatized Afro-Brazilian traditions. Through analysis of narratives of spirit possession and mediumship, we discover how Umbandists experience a creative dialogue between cultural norms and a cosmos that often transcends them. In Umbanda it is through the body, its senses, and its experience that the spirits become present. The fascinating life stories and narratives of a variety of practitioners are the heart of this book of the experiences that are Umbanda.
