Candomble is a religion of african origin.
The gods and revered ancestors
express themselves
through their devotees,
their sons.
Four nations predominate:
Angola, Alaketu, Jeje, Ijexá.
Inquices, orixás, voduns
make up their pantheons.
In the temples,
spiritual families get together.
The mysteries, the secrets, the essentials
are presented to each eperson
according to her functions, involvement, devotion.
Traditions are preserved
and each beat of the drums,
each gesture, act, chant, dance,
each plant, each food
has its meaning.
Here,
moments of initiation of a novive,
a muzenza.
Candomble,
Angola nation.
The temple,
Ilê de Ozoane da Gebi da Romeia.
