The Umbanda (Afro-Brazilian Folk Religion - Full Documentary) | TRACKS

[@mattykaimiponodacres3048]

As a Jamaican Maroon with our own similar yet different cultural and spiritual practice, I must say that I am very impressed with the Umbanda tradition of Brasil as well as other similar traditions. Much Love and Respect🇧🇷🇯🇲

[@sarahssaurus]

As a brazilian, I know many umbandistas who accept Jah as a deity into the afrobrazilian religion. Both traditions and religiosity are very conected and in Umbanda, people are very open to other's religions and beliefs. Axé

It is lovely to see a documentary about Umbanda without evangelic people saying its a "devil's thing". Maybe because they don't understand the language too.

Só uma coisa a se acrescentar foi falado que Getúlio Vargas um ex presidente tinha carinho ou apresso pela Umbanda , mas durante o Estado Novo aonde Getúlio estourou uma ditadura em nosso país de 1937 até 1945 todas as religiões de matriz africana e principalmente a Umbanda foi perseguida, alguns foram presos por que não se podia professar a nossa Fé.

[@anilpersaud3808]

This reminds me a lot of the Kali Mandir, the possession of the divine spirits and devotees speaking to the spirit for help for their problems. I love this kind of worship, this is very beautiful

[@ninamartin1084]

Love this narrator's measured tones as well as the accuracy of the reporting. This was basically my childhood, Brazil in the 70s, my grandmother a medium who healed many people and who guides me still despite having passed over. Recently I have felt the calling to lead pilgrimages and I incorporate rituals to honour Yemanja/divine feminine energy and the sea and.....its powerful.

[@gameboyhotline3712]

For Orisha practices you need guidance and to be introduced, go to Brazil and find a house you trust, I’m not Brazilian, I’m not apart of any Yoruba tradition but you notice in this video, umbanda ( which is only very loosely based in Yoruba tradition ) is still very communal

[@tinterlight]

Thank you for a gem of a documentary.

Personally I'm studying Umbanda to convert to it as one of three religions I practice - Haitian Vodou my main religion with catholic syncretism Santa Muerte and Umbanda! I love this religion

I have a question of if Umbanda is an open religion? I've always wanted to have that question answered and this is an incredible documentary.

[@Lasalamanca]

Yes, of course, you can participate in the open "sessions" to receive healing and guidance from the guides. And when you feel it you can ask to the Pae de Santo to be initiated into the cult, and perhaps become a medium.

[@MatthewSmith-ik8wc]

​@@Lasalamancahey man I have a couple questions about Umbanda if you don't mind because I'm studying this for it to be my 3rd religion. Isn't the point of Umbanda like Redemption - think about it. You don't have to do animal sacrifices , you have readings , I think witchcraft but only to a certain extent (sympathetic magic , somewhat of sorta like a zombie but it's like some sort of puppet I'm assuming , love spells , revenge spells , and the powder in my main religion) it's showing what's going on in the video. But is it true that Umbandistas have more or less magic than us vodouists. Does Umbanda teach the existence of heaven and hell? How many aspects of Eshu are there

[@Freakyy.]

​@@MatthewSmith-ik8wc there are countless different umbanda rituals... in fact, animal sacrifice is part of some of them. besides that, some rituals don't consider any readings as relevant to themselves, and carry out a strong oral tradition. one thing is certain about all rituals, though: we don't agree with the catholic church's manichaean philosophy, and thus heaver and hell are not part of our beliefs. instead, we believe spirits inhabit can other realms that reflect their current vibration state, and they are in a constant evolutionary process

I don't get how they show the Orishas as caucasians.

[@Zeromusicvideos]

I think its due to Catholic Syncretism. However, majority of those Orixás are pictured as Blacks. There are more Orixás than the ones presented on this doc.

[@Alkis05]

Those where not depiction of the Orishas, but of catholic saints like Saint Barbara (orixa Iansã, eventos climaticos) and Saint George (orixã Ogun, the warrior. Which is fitting, I guess). It's like having different depictions Teiwaz (German), Tyr (Nordic) and Mercury (Roman. At least that is how Ceaser saw it). They didn't really see as completely unrelated entities. And as it is mentioned, Cabocolo, which is supposed to be a indigenous spirit is represented by the image of north American looking Indians. So yeah, syncretism.

It's the same as how europeans see Jesus as white despite him being a semite, the Chinese seeing Buddha as Han Chinese despite him being Indian........we are humans who will always see the divine in our own image. Whether you see the divine feminine as Venus, Aphrodite, Mary, Freya or Yemanja or any of the countless other emanations or aspects just depends on geography.

Because of the fact that I'm training myself to become an Umbandista i love syncretizing my main religion with roman catholicism I'll be seeing how you can syncretize Umbanda with Roman Catholicism. So far from I've been reading online and assuming you can syncretize your Umbanda beliefs with roman catholicism but I don't think that's often the case. I'll keep studying and training myself to become an Umbandista but from what I know Umbanda has influences of Islam Roman Catholicism Indigenous people religions Spiritism and Animism. I can say without an absolute doubt that this will be my third religion. This beautifully amazing and enigmatic religion has captured my heart in such ways. I feel absolutely sorry for people who disrespect and/or hurt people who practice this religion. People hate what they don't understand because umbanda has magic and magical rituals in it. I'll pray to Erzulie Freda that the suffering of Umbandistas will end and that she has people look past their differences especially their religion. May Bondye bless all benevolent Umbandistas because I plan by next month to begin saving up to become initiated into umbanda as a medium
