FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Umbanda Spiritist Healing CeremoniesAn Overview Article by Josie RavenWingUmbanda is a uniquely Afro-Brazilian spiritual path that honors and calls in a variety of spirits from many cultures: the orixas such as Ogun, Oxossi and Xango, the warrior spirits, and Iemaja, Oxun and Ianca, the water goddesses; the pretos velhos, ancestor spirits of African slaves who work through the Umbanda mediums to heal and advise the living; the caboclos, Native American spirits of North, Central and South America, and then a whole pantheon of other spirits of the departed from cultures all around the world. The main purposes of the Umbanda ceremonies are healing and blessings from the spirits, who are called in through prayer, singing, dancing, and drumming.
