The Seven Lines of Umbanda–Sacred Umbanda–Father School

Benedito of Aruanda. By Rubens Saraceni.

The seven lines of Umbanda are not seven Orixás, but rather the seven Divine irradiations that are
seven vibrations of God that support everything that exists on our planet.
They are Divine radiations and each one flows in its own pattern and influences those who are reached.

they stimulate in us the vibration of noble and virtuous feelings.
The seven radiations give rise to seven essences, which give rise to seven elements, which give
origin of seven types of matter or energies.
Essence: Crystal clear, mineral, plant, igneous, wind, telluric, water. As essence, they are
essential radiations that penetrate our mind and spread throughout our immortal being.
But when energetic or elemental irradiations occur, they stimulate our energetic body,
changing our vibrational pattern, elevating us immediately. These are

we received from the Orixás, they are elementals and have already been bipolarized. Therefore, the seven lines take on
this bipolarization, automatically giving rise to two poles in each of them.
Thus, we have seven lines, but fourteen Orixás, as some occupy the active poles and others,
passive poles.
It is in this bipolarization that the archetypes of the Orixás are formed; there they will

THE DIVINE FUNDAMENTALS OF LINES OR VIBRATIONS OF

UMBANDA
By Rubens Saraceni,
Umbanda, although it may not show this at first glance, is a very rich religion in
divine foundations, with various initiatory schools. And, if this happens, it is because it is new, it was not
totally encoded and we did not have a reliable indicator to help us with the decoding of the
its mysteries and foundations.
Currently, a century after its foundation or resurgence by Zélio Fernandino de
Moraes and Mr. Caboclo of the Seven Crossroads, messenger spirits have conveyed to us
some master keys that have opened vast fields for us to decode their mysteries and
we will start your true coding, making it so well-founded that perhaps, in the future,
other religions resort to these keys to interpret their own mysteries. If not,
let's see:

In Umbanda, the lines or vibrations of spiritual work, formed by spirits

developers have symbolic names.

2º) The incorporating guides do not appear under other names and are only identified by
symbolic names that have affinities.
3rd) All of them are accomplished wizards and have magic as a powerful resource, which
they run to assist the people who go to the Umbanda temples seeking help.

A medium of Umbanda receives in their work several spiritual guides whose

manifestations or incorporations are so characteristic that just by them we already know to which
line or vibration belongs to the embodied spirit.

5º) The lines or vibrations are very well defined and the spirits belonging to a
vibration speaks with the same accent, dance and gesture more or less alike and
we carry out magic works with elements defined as theirs and more or less from
same form.

Each line or vibration is linked to some orixás and we can identify them in their names.
symbolic to which of the spirits of the same line are connected.

7º) This happens with both the vibrations of the right and those of the left, all
governed by the sacred orixás.

With this, we have important keys to advance in the study of the fundamentals of
Umbanda until we reach the heart of the mystery of its symbolic names. But to get there
At the core, we must first know what the means or the guideline that will guide us in this search is, since
we have lines of Caboclos, Preto-velhos, Children, Baianos, Boiadeiros, Sailors, Exús, Pomba-
Turns, Gypsies, etc. And this master key is called 'Factors of God.' Before we talk about
factors or what they mean, we need to broaden the range of topics on this
our commentary to support the mysteries of Umbanda.

Let's turn to the Holy Bible and there we will read something similar to this:
And in the beginning there was chaos.
And God commanded that light be born from chaos, and light came to be.
God ordered everything and everything was made according to His verbal determinations and the 'word
divine,” carried out by his sacred excellence.

Identified in the determinations given by God the essence of their ordering functions and

through him that God acts. And if each verb is a creative function in itself, and many are the
So this means used by God must have within it what each verb needs to come into being.
as a divine function creating actions that embody its lofty meaning.
We know that the allusion to the divine verb in the Holy Bible has not had until now a
satisfactory explanation by scholars of it and by its most renowned interpreters, relegating it
only to the words or statements of God. But this is also due to the fact that its interpreters
not having realized the master key that opens the mystery of the 'divine verb' but that now, from
Umbanda's possession, explains everything to us, from the biblical chaos to the astronomers' big bang and from the
the emergence of matter (Ayê) to the primordial state of creation from which (we call the spirits that
there inhabit monads); so sought after currently by quantum physics. Yes, the divine verb and its
the way to carry out your actions lies both in the material realization and in the rarefied world of
quantum physics. It is involved both in cellular reproduction and in the generation of celestial bodies.
- The divine verb is action! (Orum) the spiritual world (Ayê) material world.

And the means he uses to fulfill himself as action, we call the factors of God.
By factors, understand the smallest things or particles created by God and they are alive and are the
the means of the divine verb to realize itself as action, since each factor is a realizing action in itself
it is the same and does what the verb that identifies it means.

Thus, if the verb accelerate means to speed up the movement of something, the accelerating factor is the
means used by God to accelerate the movement or displacement of what He created and must evolve. And
The same happens, albeit in the opposite sense, with the verb slow down and with its factor.
identifier that is the decelerating factor.

The verb 'movimentar', which means to give movement to something, has as its means of
to take place as action, the driving factor. The same happens with the verb to paralyze, whose
the function is opposite and has as a means of realization through action the paralyzing factor.

The verb 'to open' has the factor 'opener' as a means to carry out the action. On the other hand, the verb 'to close,'
whose function is opposite to the verb "open," has as a means of carrying out its action the closing factor.

And the verb to lock, which means to imprison, has as a way of being performed while
action the locking factor. And the verb open, whose meaning is to release, has as a means of being carried out
while action the opening factor.

N.I.L.A–Initiatic Core Lights of Aruanda Page 5

 BASIC UMBANDA COURSE - MODULE II
And the verb direct, whose meaning is to give direction to something, has as a means of realization
while action is the guiding factor. The verb to deviate, whose meaning is to stray from the target, has
as a means of realizing oneself as a diverging action.
And the verb generate, which means to bring something into existence, has a way of being realized.
while acting as the generating factor. And the verb sterilize, whose function is opposite, has as
means to carry out the sterilizing factor as an action.
And the verb magnetize, whose meaning and function is to give magnetism to something, has as a means
to be carried out while magnetizing action. The verb demagnetize, whose function is
Meanings are opposites, and the means to achieve them as an action is the demagnetizing factor.
And the verb to cut, whose meaning and function is to separate something, has as a means to realize it
while action is the cutting factor. As for the verb unite, whose meaning and function is to join something, it has as
means to achieve while acting the unifying factor.
Many are the verbs and each one is the action that it signifies and many are the means.
existing in what we call factors of God. Here, in this comment, we already mentioned the verbs:
["Accelerate and Decelerate","Move and Stop","Open and Close","Lock and Unlock"]
Direct and Divert; – Generate and Sterilize; – Magnetize and Demagnetize; – Cut and Join.
There are few verbs compared to the many that exist, but they are sufficient for the
our purposes.
Let's take the verb to lock and the locking factor and transport them to
a line of spiritual and magical work of Umbanda, that of the locking Exus, where we have
these symbolic names:
Exu Tranca streets, linked to Ogum.
Exu Lock everything, linked to Oxalá.
Exu Tranca giras, connected to Oyá.
Exu Seven Locks, connected to Obaluayê.
- Exu Tranca Fogo, connected to Xangô.
Exu Tranca Rios, connected to Oxum.
Exu Tranca Raios, connected to Yansã.
Exu Tranca Matas, connected to Oxossi.
If the verb to lock means to imprison, and if the locking factor is the means by which it is realized
As an action, every exu that has the word 'tranca' in its symbolic name is a generator.
This factor is that, when it radiates, it locks something, right? And if we take the verb to open and the factor
opener, we have a line of spiritual and magical work of Umbanda, the Exus openers,
where we have these symbolic names:

Exu opens everything – connected to Oxalá.

Exu opens paths - linked to Ogum.
Exu opens doors - linked to Obaluayê.
Exu opens the wilds – connected to Oxossi.
Exu opens time - connected to Oyá.

N.I.L.A–Initiatic Core Lights of Aruanda Page 6

 BASIC COURSE OF UMBANDA - MODULE II
And if we take the verb to break, not mentioned here, and the factor through which its action is
we have these lines of spiritual and magical work:
Ogum breaks everything - linked to Oxalá.
Ogum breaks the forests - linked to Oxossi.
Ogum breaks the clouds–connected to Yansã.
Ogum breaks ground - linked to Omolu.
Ogum breaks the waters - linked to Yemanjá.
Ogum breaks iron - linked to Ogum.

And we have lines of Caboclos and Exus with these same names:
Caboclos and Exus break everything.
Caboclos and Exus break through the woods.
- Caboclos and Exus break clouds. - Caboclos and Exus break ground.
Caboclos and Exus break waters.
Caboclos and Exus break iron.

There are many verbs and each one has a means or factor through which it is realized while

fundamentals of other religions to explain their practices or the symbolic names given to
Orixás, who are the divine deities that realize the divine word or their lines of spiritual work.
the magicians, who are spiritual manifestors of the mysteries of the divine word. If they pay good attention to
the wealth contained in the symbolism of Umbanda may even dispense with ancient interpretations
hereditary from the ancestral worship of the Orixás practiced on African soil, because God (Olorum), upon creating
a religion endows it with its own divine foundations and expects its followers to
discover and apply your Doctrine and practices, perfecting your conception of the existing divine
in its mysteries.

Thus, when we are deserving to 'live' in the Physical Plan, we are under the influence of
countless energies, which will provide the main characteristics for our development and
evolution and some clues about who is close, based on the Spiritual Plan.
Based on Astrology, examining the Zodiac Signs, one creates the condition to identify the
Original vibration, which is directly influencing the current evolutionary journey of the individual.

The Sign is defined by the transit of the Sun through a Zodiacal house for an approximate period of
thirty days. Therefore, the individual's Sign is identified by their date of birth.

to the natives of the boundary days of the signs, to determine through astrological study, the time of
entry of the Sun into the zodiacal house, as small variations may occur. For example, a
individual who was born at 11:00 PM on March 20, 2003 (the last day of the sun in Pisces),
it is not from the sign of Pisces but rather from Aries, as the transit of the Sun in Aries started from
10:00 PM on March 20.
It is important to make it clear that it is not the hour, the day, the month, and the year that identify the
"current state of Ori", as the reference of time and space is relative, as we happen to inhabit
a planet that takes 24 hours for its rotation and 365 days for its translation.
what determines our "current state of Ori" is the physical conditions of the Cosmos at the exact
moment when the first breath is taken (breathing at birth). After all, all things in
universe that we "know" are in affinity and balance. Thus, to be born under a
A certain condition, everything had already been prepared for it to happen at that exact time.
Meanwhile, considering the relativity in which we live, one can use the millennial
human knowledge to have the reference (local) of how the universe was at that exact moment
moment when he was reincarnated, for this reason, astrology is also used in Umbanda.

In addition to the Sun, we find other celestial bodies in our Solar System: Moon, Mercury, Venus,

The Physical Body is the instrument for development, learning, and experimentation in

The Etheric Body is the one that allows the connection between the Physical Body and the other bodies;

The Astral Body is the mold that structures the physical body and promotes the action of volitional acts,
wishes and emotions. The psychics see this body – (Perispirit);
The Mental Body is the vehicle of manifestation of the 'Cosmic Self', as concrete intellect and
abstract; Concrete or lower mental: it is the seat of simple and objective perceptions such as those of objects,

The Budhic Body formulates principles and abstract ideas, performs analysis, synthesis, and conclusions. It is
the seat of virtues and defects;
The Nirvanic Body, composed of the three souls - Moral, Intuitive, and Consciential - vehicles and
instruments of the spirit. Their lines of force form the body of the same, hyperphysical matter,

The Atomic Body or Spirit Essence constitutes the Divine Essence present in each being.

The maintenance of interactions between our concrete and abstract bodies, as well as the

THE ORISHAS ARE BEFORE VIBRATIONS OR FORCES OF NATURE,

We who are spiritualists understand that we suffer influences from the Orixás because of
to belong to the nature of the planet we live on; as well as the vibrational influences
sent by the Cosmo. These influences are called archetypes. It is clear that according to our

It is interesting to observe that they exist and are accepted by other cultures just with
different names. So also in the Mythologies of ancient peoples, just read something about the
gods of antiquity and you will find the energy of the Orixás recognized by these peoples. The
the term orixá is accepted by us due to our Afro, indigenous or Tupi influence, and because of all

cosmic forces that act on the nature of the planet and are emanated by that very nature.
Let's take Oxossi as an example: All Umbandists know that Oxossi is the Orixá of the woods,

better.

cosmic Oxossi, just like the vibration of Venus in Taurus which is connected to the earth. Also like
a quarry is a focus emanating the cosmic energy of Xangô, the sea, the oceans, focuses of energy
cosmic Yemanjá, the minerals of the planet focus of the cosmic energy of Oxum, the melted minerals

THE VIBRATIONS OR ORIGINAL LINES IN UMBANDA– FTU and O.I.C.D.
Let's go back a bit in the history of the Umbanda movement. In 1928, Leal de Souza
proposed the first attempt to codify Umbanda. Observing and studying the manifestations
the entities in the various terreiros and temples of that time, he proposed the first codification
the seven lines or vibrations of Umbanda.

Hopefully, Ogun, Oxossi, Xango, Yansã, Yemanja, Souls.

If the Umbandist notices, they will realize that the seven lines or vibrations proposed in the first
the coding of Umbanda exactly coincides with the doctrine of the seven sacred kingdoms followed
by the doctrine of the little tent, practiced by the Center for Spiritual Studies of Mata Verde.

W.W. da Mata e Silva, in 1956, released the book 'Umbanda of All of Us', launching at the time the
what was called Esoteric Umbanda and through the analysis of words in Sanskrit, presents
a model that includes two new names hermetic to the Orixás:

Orixalá, Ogum, Oxóssi, Xangô, Yori, Yorimá, and Yemanjá. Where Yori symbolizes the eres and Yorimá
symbolizes the line of the Souls (Obaluayê and Omolu).

Manoel Lopes, in his more than 30 years of Umbanda studies, launches Umbanda and the
Seven sacred kingdoms, where it leads us to:

1º Reino o princípio, o Fogo (ogum); 2º Reino da Terra (Xangô); 3º Reino do Ar (Yansã); 4º

The sequence is presented by 'Nature', or better said, by the formation of our planet.
According to the doctrine of the seven sacred kingdoms, the degrees of Umbanda initiation are determined
in the following way:
1st degree of initiation: Fire - Ogum - It is the initial impulse, the force to overcome obstacles and
starting a new life. It is the beginning of the life of the Umbandist within the terreiro.

2nd degree initiation - Earth - Xangô - It is the law, the structure, the rules. At this degree, the umbandist
you have already completed the initial phase (Ogum) and now you will learn the laws of Umbanda and the terreiro.
3rd degree of initiation – Air – Yansã – It is the expansion, the growth, your mind opens up, new
ideas arise.

4th degree of initiation - Water - Yemanjá - It is adaptability. The Umbandist adapts with
ease in any situation, he moves more naturally within the various religions and
philosophies, their knowledge and their experiences make them more "Adaptable".

5th degree of initiation - Matas - Oxóssi - It is the individuality of the hunter. The practitioner of Umbanda...
identifies as an individuality, feels respected by the stage it has reached, has confidence
to walk any path, do not fear solitude and the future.

that Umbanda doctrinal practice has a single philosophy and a single path, the most
adaptable to the human being for its spiritual evolution.

For practical studies, we will follow the doctrine imposed by both Esoteric Umbanda and
by the Sacred Umbanda associating with the Umbanda of the Seven Sacred Kingdoms, absorbing everything
that which is common in the ritual liturgical and theogonic practice. For Umbanda comes from the orishas

5. YEMANJÁ – is the Vibration or the Spiritual Line of Force under which are situated the
Spirits whose perispiritual matrix is defined as feminine and are the generative principle of life.

In Umbanda, they present themselves as 'caboclas'. According to the Law of the Word, this Line translates
as the Double Uncreated Spiritual Principle. The Eternal Feminine. The Fecundating Force. By the aspect
cosmic, it is situated in Nature, combining the active in the passive, the hot in the humid. YEMANJÁ =
Double Generative Principle, YE= Mother, generative principle–MAN= The Sea, The Water–YA= Maternity or
Fish. YEMANJÁ from Anamaya and Aemmayae represents the eternal feminine of nature, 'the mother'

It is a deep and indiscriminate nuance, clear and crystalline. Yemanjá is the generative faculty of Olorum, it goes
generating and concretizing, both as a means and as beings. When it generates within itself, it gives rise to its
hierarchy of Thrones of Creation and Thrones of Creation, which are deities that manifest a
of these two natures of Yemanjá.
When it generates from itself, it radiates this dual faculty, and those who absorb it become creative and
generator in the aspect of life to which one should dedicate oneself.

The legend tells us that Yemanjá is the mother of all and of all the Orixás, and she is relatively right.
since if something exists it is because it was generated. And, because Yemanjá is in herself this quality
creator of the Divine Creator, then she is the origin of all divinities and all beings of
creation.
But the things of God do not happen that way, and He, when He began to generate, had already ordained His
generation. So Ogum already existed and ordered the generation of Yemanjá. Oxum already existed and gathered what
she was generating, etc.

from spiritual richness and material abundance. From the aggregations, Oxum gives rise to the conception
of things, for she is the very Divine conception, the principle of life, which is why she is regarded as the Orixá of
life that governs sexuality, for it is through it that life is conceived. Oxum has many
points of strength in nature, whose local rulers are responsible for elemental kingdoms, and
each of these kingdoms has a quality of Oxum: Of the waterfalls, Of the springs, Of gold, Of

Oxum of the Stones - It is the Throne pouring forth mineral radiations. The enchanted ones of this
quality, they wear garments completely covered in multicolored precious stones,

somewhat jealous, aggressive in defending their children and the points of strength under their care. They are
linked to the vibrations of Xangô and justice.

Oxum of the Heart - It is by excellence the Throne or the quality responsible for love
unconditional, pure and true love. They act through human emotion and unblock the
senses of love obstructed by hurts, disappointments, or disillusionments at all levels and in all senses

Spiritual Force under which are situated the Spirits whose perispiritual matrix is defined as
feminine and are the principle of life's equalization, linked to water and air. It has
correspondence with the Throat Chakra

In Umbanda, they present themselves as 'caboclas,' 'ondinas,' and sylphs, elemental beings of the

or emotional, because it is the meaning of the Law, which is not only punitive but also guiding.

Yansã applies the Law in the fields of Justice and is extremely active. One of her duties is
harvest the beings outside the Law and, with one of its magnetisms, alter all of their emotional, mental and
conscientiously, to, then redirect it in another line of evolution. But when it is not

activating it against all erroneous concepts, removing their 'stabilities' so that, next,
decant them and bury them in the mire of human ignorance about Divine matters. This of yours
dual quality is Nanã Buruquê. Nanã is dual because she manifests two qualities at the same time
one gives malleability, undoing what is paralyzed or petrified, another will
decanting everything and everyone of their vices, imbalances, or negativity. She forms with Obaluayê,
a natural pair, and they are the Orixás responsible for the evolution of beings. If Obaluayê is stability and

N.I.L.A–Initiatory Core Lights of Aruanda Page 27

 BASIC UMBANDA COURSE - MODULE II
evolution, Nanã is malleability and decantation, for she is a water-earth Orixá that polarizes with it,
giving rise to the irradiation of Evolution, its day is Monday.

Nanã is cosmic, dual, and acts through magnetic attraction on beings, whose evolution is
paralyzed and the emotional state is unbalanced. So it makes the evolution of the being be
resuming, decanting it of all magnetism, fixing it in its 'clay' and leaving it ready
for the action of Obaluayê, who will reshape it, stabilize it, and put it back in
movement or in a new evolutionary path. It corresponds with the Splenic chakra.

For this quality of hers, she is the divinity or mystery of God that acts upon the spirit that
will incarnate, for she decants all her feelings, grievances and concepts, dilutes all
energy accumulations and it puts to sleep in your memory so that Obaluayê reduces it to the size of
fetus in the mother's womb, who will lead him back to the light of the flesh, where he will remember nothing of what he has already

experienced. That is why Nanã is associated with senility, old age, which is when a person starts to
forgetting many things you experienced in your carnal life. Therefore, one of the fields of
acting is the memory of beings, and if Oxóssi sharpens reasoning, it puts the knowledge of the
spirit so that they do not interfere with the destiny outlined for an entire incarnation.

In another line of life, she is found in menopause. At the beginning of this line is Oxum,
stimulating female sexuality; in the middle is Yemanjá, stimulating motherhood; and at the end
it is Nanã, paralyzing both sexuality and the generation of children.

We observe that all of this happens to the majority of spirits without them being aware.
why this is happening, because like the quality of God, Nanã, Obaluayê and all the others
Orixás accomplish what they need to accomplish without us knowing what or how they are acting upon us,

YORI or ERÊS, THE LINE OF CHILDREN AND EVOLUTION

TWO ENCHANTED BEINGS.

The line of children within Umbanda is one of the main lines of work, it is one of the
master beams of religion, for since the beginning of religion together with the lines of caboclos and
the preto-velhos were already present and performed excellent work in healing and counseling,
everything in a pure and simple way is the characteristic form of these childish beings.

This is a spiritual lineage that since its first manifestation has left some points of
questioning, such as: where do these child spirits come from? How and when did they disincarnate? If
Is this possible for a line of pure spirits?

Did the disincarnation occur at a young age? And many other questions that intrigued and
still intrigue the minds of the mediums who manifest them.

Well, we learned that these childish spirits are not human spirits of children.
who had a brief existence in the flesh and passed away at a young age, and indeed are spirits
infants who follow an evolution in a parallel reality to ours and are governed by others
principles, divine principles of creation that do not require the experience of matter for evolution

In this parallel dimension, these spirits, when generated by God, become adopted.
by a pair of Orixás who will be your guardians until you gain maturity and move on to another stage
mature evolutionary and adults, being a replica of their guardian orixá and propagator of their
radiations and divine light, true children of Orixás. For being spirits in training of Orixás, in
some schools are not placed as a line of orixá but rather as subplans of these. It remains to
understanding of each child of umbanda. Think and reflect. If the doctrinal basis of umbanda is
constituted by the three sacred pillars: Knowledge, Wisdom, and Love, that is: Caboclos, blacks
old ones and Ibejis (Eres)...

We learn that each Erê has the guidance of their father and mother orixá, some are children of Iansã and Ogum,
others of Oxossi and Oxum, others of Oxalá and Yemanjá, etc. We asked: Erê what is your name, my uncle
My name is Pedrinho from the beach, my dad is Xangô and my mom is Yemanjá.

This childish being or Erê, when it matures and passes to another evolutionary stage, already as a
the adult spirit will be a Xangô intermediary connected to the mysteries of life, which is the field of Yemanjá.
These infant beings are not eternal children; instead, they have their evolutionary stage, ceasing to be children.
becoming a young person already in another stage and natural evolutionary plan. They are true enchanteds.

From then on, he will unfold all the nature he inherited from his father and mother as qualities that the
they distinguished.

Thus our father Orixá Ogum, the person we incorporate during the Umbanda ceremonies, so
like all our personal Orixás, were not generated by Olorum (God) as already mature orixás and
Complete, these same personal deities that we embody today were yesterday's Erês, although even
to reach this current stage thousands of years must have passed, as their evolution takes place in
a more natural and less accelerated way than our human one is an evolutionary principle chosen without there being the
the need for the process of evolution through human incarnation; and to be enchanted, that is, never
they experienced human incarnation for their spiritual evolution.

Now the Major Orixás, these were indeed generated by God, full of themselves, for they are His qualities.
who were individualized, thus Father Ogum Maior was generated by Olorum (God) as the manifester
due to its ordering quality, therefore it was already expressed as a Divine-Mystery full in itself
even, just like all the other Major Orixás.

Returning to the line of the Erês, this enchanted stage of life where the evolution of these childish spirits
it is processed, they are governed by two pairs of Mystery-Deities which are Major Orixás and which govern the
mystery of renewal and that of the conception of life which in Umbanda we denote as Orixá Maior
Oxumarê and the Major Orixá Oxum. These orixás are the patron orixás and rulers of all childhood stages.
because a child is synonymous with renewal and conception.

As complementary opposite poles of this same line, we have two pairs of Divinities-

life, which in Umbanda we refer to as the Great Orixá Omolu and the Great Orixá Nanã Buruque, orixás

lines that complement each other, as one is in renewal and conception and the other is in stability and
maturity governs the immature child in early age and another governs the old, wise, and mature in time.
Old is he who has already been a child and who renews himself in his grandchildren, still taking their first steps in life.
Neto is one who fights to evolve and keep up with the steps of his parents and grandparents.

Thus is the line of children who will mature in their parents and grandparents, and thus is the line of the black people.
old ones who will renew themselves in their grandchildren, this is the line of evolution.

THE POWERFUL LAW OF PEMBA
The pemba, of African origin, is a ritualistic instrument of great significance. It is
usually used to mark points by the entities and by the medium, aiming to establish
vibrational contacts with spiritual spheres. If applied incorrectly, it may produce
different results than expected.

Sacred writing of the Orixás is very broad and presents the need for personal exposure and,
for its part, could even be disastrous, people without 'Orders and Rights' manipulating it. The pemba
it is practically used in almost all Umbanda rituals. For carrying the axé, the pemba is
greeted as a divine instrument, dedicating to sung points and specific reverences.

In Umbanda, in its various moments of understanding, we find several forms

of presentation of these Yantras, the most common being those of an exoteric nature (external/open),
those where stars, waves, arrows, crosses, moons, etc. are used, which have their results
in their applications; and, we also find those of an esoteric nature (internal/closed) where they are
used: guidelines, Roots and keys, through the Adamic spelling and related (read the Archaeo-meter
de Saint Yves - Editions in Portuguese, Spanish, and French). For your reference, this spelling
they are clichés (Yantras), which are used by entities and Mediums of Magic (with the presence
or not of spirits) to trigger/project in the Astral Plane the movement of subtle forces

a substance called "kaolin" (pure white clay), imported from Africa. Over time, the
"kaolin" was replaced by the difficulty of importation, by "limestone" and "tabatinga."
It is mixed with kaolin, a powder resulting from the roasting and crushing of certain seeds such as the
Alibê, the Nutmeg, Dandá da Costa, Ataré, Aridan, Obi and Orogbô. There are pembas of various
colors (addition of dye) but the white one is the most used. It is of utmost importance to take care in

However, there are "traces" that indicate the disharmony of the medium, which are generally "marks".

bring and decipher its meaning. Some of these traits are similar to those of the Adamic alphabet,

Regarding the so-called "traces" made by entities or actual mediums, there is in addition to a
great significance an "timeless" opening for the emanation of energy. The Pemba is sacred,

very important yes, but many see it only as a 'chalk' forgetting all the hero that
involves this ritualistic object.

As in Umbanda, the practice of healing is not permitted with razors or scalpels, the pemba
makes the cross of the chakras, symbolizing the opening cuts of them to receive the amassi.
pemba has several purposes and forms or models to be made. In the nation worship.

they are used to feed on physical energies and to freely transit through the neutral level,
sowing torments on the face of the Earth.
So they fear magic circles or closed magics because, or
they will be energetically drained within them and will be reduced to ovules, or they will be trapped inside
from your electromagnetic chain, from where they will be sent back to their original vibrational level, from which
they will no longer be able to escape, because they will be trapped within the circle that will form there and will remain
retained in the electromagnetic chain, formed here at the neutral level, but designed up to its level
original.
Closed spells are greatly feared because they are centered on the axis.

that they received.
They shift the negative magic circle according to their wills and usually fix them.

they transit to reach the neutral or ground level as soon as the sun sets, or after midnight, which
is considered the "big hour" for the dark entities.

with other dark entities that do not possess passages, and charge a 'toll' for their use.

N.I.L.A–Initiatory Core Lights of Aruanda Page 40

This toll or price is paid in various ways, and the most common is to require that those who pass through

The AGENT OF Karmic JUSTICE – (EXU)
We are accustomed to witnessing the distorted view of many regarding the Guardian Exú, not only because of the
inappropriate practices of precepts, as well as the holding of cults and offerings, as if the
they themselves took pleasure in these rituals. The ignorance of many or even the deceit of some generates
doubts, uncertainties, or even fear.

Well,... if there were a minimal effort to understand its function, within

of the balance of Divine Law, the vast majority would have a huge surprise. For those who understand
with greater depth the subtext of the Traditions, you will be able to observe that in the processes
Reincarnatory, the Exús play a fundamental role in their occurrence, that is, if we are
incarnated, it is due to their specialties.

In addition to this aspect, the Exús (of Law or Guardians) fulfill their mission through the
execution of Justice. They are above the principles of Good or Evil, for in our Universe, the
Bad, for now, is the predominant one. If we take a moment to reflect, we will see that being
embodied, seeks to project its consciousness into other people or objects, that is, performs the
mirror

Manichaeism (good vs evil) is merely the state of the consciousnesses of spiritual beings.
embodied or not, granted by the egregore of the collective unconscious, which has been built up
starting from the third race, the Atlantean, which establishes concepts and images that distort and distort the
true function of Exú. In the five continents, deleterious practices of witchcraft and sorcery have come
impregnating certain concepts, creating deformed and bizarre images, projecting and
stimulating the evil that is in people's very consciousness. And, in many regions, this evil
it is totemized, that is, projected into strange statuettes with horns on the forehead, feet of
animals, bones,...

Meanwhile, an important warning is necessary: the collective unconscious, due to its own disharmony.
of thoughts, it embodies the evil that each of us carries and, to escape responsibility
individual, each one psychically transfers to another person or objects, the "demons" that
would be we the same, our consciences or we same disembodied.

One must not forget that we are responsible for these 'creations' and that, therefore, they are
idealized, they occur on the other side of life and vice versa. And, animated in a mental current
heavy and negative, these anomalous forms occur, causing you to descend further on the scale
of vibrational density. And, the human beings in turn, who mentally tune into
this, although they have a physical body that sometimes appears normal, when they unfold from
astral body, remain in the same way animalized. Thus, for those who see Exú as part of this,

As they say around here, "you can take the little horse out of the rain," because Exú acts in the passive parallel of the Law.
called Quimbanda, as the devotional actions to the beings mentioned above, are in the
Kiumbanda, where beings with even more indescribable aspects of anomalies are found. These,
they are still, insubmissive to the Law, to the Light... but for now.

Our intelligence cannot agree that the beings who assist us allow practicing
the good and the bad in the same place. It would be at least foolish and they would be so fickle to such an extent
to help with one hand and to attack with the other. Don't forget that Exú is the Servant of the Orishas and the
they follow the guidelines issued by Child, Caboclo, and Old Father.

To conclude, if you come to ask a Law Exu to harm someone, you can be sure
that you will be the first to carry out the execution of Justice. But, if the entity is disguised or disguised
from Exú to accept your request,... well, we will meet on the other side... You will be just
charged!

The one who has the right to be revered

Esuria Mo - Ju - Iba, Laruye

Exu comes from the Sanskrit YXO, the opposite polarity to the spiritual principle of Umbanda OXY, it is the
neutrality of everything, the full void, the lord of spaces and of the beginning. In this aspect, it is

Exu is the Lord Judge, Jury and Executioner, he is the Karmic Agent executing the Divine Laws, he is the

That is why he is invoked at the beginning of the tours, for where Exú is, it is empty, neutral, clean, pure.

And the spirit loses all its essence and free will, attained in incarnations, forced
to restart your evolutionary journey, with the recovery of your debts and begin to reestablish your
evolution, filling all emptiness with good deeds in order not to be subjugated in the black limbo

Exu, for having such a spiritual function, is connected to everything and all the Orixás, for his

ways); it is Olobé (the principle of separation to create anew); and many other qualities, it is the
principle of transformation (creation-neutral-empty / empty-creation).
The Orixá Exu is the divinity of Olorum that governs ovazio, and whenever someone vibrates the
the feeling of emptiness is in the domains of Exu, he is able to empty everything that enters his
domain in the external creation of Olorum.
If you say that your mind is empty, you are saying that your ability to think and to create
it has run out. If you say that your life is empty, it has no meaning, you are saying that it has run out and
that has no defined meaning that inspires her to fight for something or someone..

For being Exu the guardian of the absolute void, and this having been the first state of creation manifested
By God, then Exu is, in fact, the first Orixá manifested.
Logo, Exu is the first Orixá, the oldest of all, the first to be worshipped, offered.
For being and bringing in itself the void, it must be invoked and referenced first and must be
"released" from within the Temple and established on its exterior so that a worship can take place
done, because if it is not done this way, the presence of Exu within him will imply the absence of all
the other Orixás, since their state is that of 'emptiness'.
The act of dispatching him outside the Temple is based on the fact that, if he is
present inside the Temple, with it is its 'emptiness', in which nothing exists. So, it is necessary
dispatch him and seat him outside the Temple, so that another state can be established and allow that
everything happens. From this it can be concluded:
Outside the state of Oxalá, everything and everyone falls under the domain of Exu and fades completely.
In Oxalá, everything and everyone grows and prospers, and in Exu, everything and everyone withers away.
In Oxalá, everyone lives peacefully, and in Exu, everyone loses their peace.
In Oxalá, everything that is thought and created is approved and, in Exu, everything that they can achieve
to think and create will certainly disapprove them.

Due to the concept of Exu being very broad and grand like creation itself, and difficult
assimilation, and precisely because its concept has been fragmented over time when
Partial spiritual manifestors of the Exu Mystery have taken on totalizing conditions. After all, 'Exu

they are individualized parts of an original mystery of creation, which is precisely the first state
from the creation manifested by the Divine Creator Olorum. And in this individualization of the externalization
from Olorum, originating the seven principles, the seven primordial principles originated in the empty state
and then we have the Exus of Oxalá, Ogum, Oxóssi, Xangô, Yemanjá, Obaluaiê, Ibeji, Omuolu, Yansã,
Oxum, etc. They are the states of absolute emptiness of the seven divine emanations, the principle for there to be

The Exunized Natural Beings

Something that has always intrigued us here in the material realm is the scent of spirits with a story.
humans presenting themselves as Exus when they embody in their mediums, making powerful
cleaning work, unloading, disobsession, demagification, healing, etc. Within the domains of
Orixás in creation, there are so many natural beings (not incarnating) that our current population is
nothing compares to the populations that exist within them. They live and evolve within the domains of
Holy Orixás, and it is understandable that many have difficulties during their evolutions in
realities where the resources of reincarnation do not exist so that they can have immortal memory
asleep and resume their evolutions by reincarnating.
Even though they are supported, many who cannot keep up with the evolution of their own,
they are developing an inner negativity that, when it exceeds individual capacity
support, they make them enter deep regressions and become instinctive, ceasing to
guiding by reason. As they are unipolar, that is, possessing only positive mental magnetism
you are just negative, they don’t have our mental resources that push us in other directions
when one closes for us.
So, when they feel blocked or paralyzed, they 'clog' reason and develop the
instinctivism and come under the control of more evolved natural spirits, who are responsible for
their protection.
And they eventually reach a moment when they have to be sent to the negative pole of the
domain where they live. It is there that they are collected and remain isolated from others until they return to
reasoning. A good part regresses to such an extent that it becomes unrecognizable, starting from this
point, which is pure instinct, begins the action of the mystery Exu, which starts to attract them
magnetically to the void existing on the 'outside' of the domain where they lived and evolved.
When they cross these two stages of creation and 'fall' into the domains of Exu, then it begins
a separating action and some will end up in a certain region of relative emptiness and others will
stop in another, where the process of exhausting negativity within them begins.
When they are completely 'emptied', the exacerbated instincts begin to be collected and
asleep in the depths of the being. When even the instincts no longer vibrate, the being in question enters
in a deep sleep, in which one remains asleep for a long time. During this sleep,
is going through a process of emotional emptying, and, when it is completely
neutralized, I start the exunization process. Only when the magnetization is completed, the being
start receiving the mental vibrations of the Guardian Exu of the domain that welcomed you in your void
relative. This vibration will completely reshape you, both internally and externally, and will be
absorbed until a new external personality "blooms" and it begins to awaken.

And at the moment he fully awakens, he acts like a newborn, who

the same reactions to what pleases them and what displeases them, and they move in the 'relative void' like

exunization process with the inherent powers of the mystery of the Orixá Exu Guardian of the domain
in which they used to live. Then, the disposition of some “hierarchy” of the Guardian Exu begins to
perform functions inherent to their evolutionary level within the Exu mystery.
Only some of these 'exunized' beings end up entering the human dimension of life to

completing this magnetism will open opportunities for them to incarnate and humanize themselves in the seven

develop a human memory of your immortal existences.
As for the human spirits that are subjected to the process of exunization, they do not have their
emptied memories, but since they are neutralized, the events no longer disturb them or

BATHS IN UMBANDA

At any time, in the Centers and Terreiro of Umbanda, the baths have been of great
importance in the phase of spiritual initiation; therefore, it becomes necessary to know the use of the
herbs, roots, barks, fruits, and natural plants.

A Brief History of the Use of Baths

The bath is the renewal of the body and the soul, for when the body feels good and finds itself
refreshed from exhaustion, the soul also becomes capable of vibrating harmoniously. The ancient Hebrews already
they used ablutions, which were nonetheless sacred baths. Moses, the great legislator
Hebrew imposed the use of bathing on his followers. The baptism in the waters administered by Saint John.
Baptism, in the Jordan River, was a sacred bath. The baptism in the waters is the first purifying bath.
of human beings today, as children are baptized while still young.
Baths have always been a powerful element of religious sentiment, given that the
people of ancient India being led to bathe in the waters of the sacred river, the Ganges, fulfilling
thus part of a ritual that, for them, is indispensable and sacred.
In all ancient times, there is a Sacred River, in which the peoples went to bathe to purify themselves.
physically or mentally. In Africa, water is considered to have great power and magic. We see
to this day in the candomblés the Waters of Oxalá. Waters in pots and bowls, besides mirongas with water

satisfaction and discharge. The Paraíba River is a sacred river for the Tupinambás. In it, the Indians used to make
their secret rituals.

deposited in white containers (the white color reflects energies) and the hands should be
well cleaned and sterilized with alcohol. Before harvesting or handling the herbs to be used,
you should place your hands on the ground to discharge any negative energy or
static that should be ingrained in the person.

TYPES OF BATHS
Basically, there are three types of baths: Cleansing/Removal, Energizing/Lifting.
and the Fixation/Ritual Bath (consecratory).

DISCHARGE BATHS

It is the most well-known, and as the name itself says, the Cleansing Bath (or discharge) serves
to unload and cleanse the astral body, eliminating the precipitation of negative fluids (envy,
hatred, the evil eye, irritation, nervousness, etc. It suppresses external physical ills, acquired
from others or from places where the mediums are. This bath can be used by anyone.
person, as long as following the recommendations of the Entities/Spiritual Guides or your Father or
Mother of Saint.
These baths serve to free the individual from negative energy charges. As per
we live, we go through various environments, we exchange impressions with all types of individuals
and since we are on a planet that is behind in spiritual evolution, the predominance of evil and of

N.I.L.A–Initiatory Core Lights of Aruanda Page 58

 BASIC UMBANDA COURSE - MODULE II
negative energies are abundant. All these thoughts, actions, create astral larvae,
miasmas and etc., that adhere to the aura of people. No matter how much we keep watch, now and then
we lowered our vibrational level and immediately we are entering this vibrational range.

HERBAL CLEANSING BATH:

When made with herbs, they should be harvested by qualified individuals for this purpose.
In hours and conditions required, however, those acquired in commerce can also be used.
(fresh), as long as whoever is going to use them knows them.

Baths with extracts should also be used with care, as they contain a lot of
vibration, only managed by qualified persons.
The most commonly used cleansing bath is made with positive and warm herbs, varying according to
with the negative fluids accumulated that a person is carrying, and according to the orishas
what the person brings in their vibration. The cleansing bath with herbs should be taken after the bath
routine, preferably with coastal soap, neutral soap, or coconut soap.

A rinse bath should not be thrown brutally over the body but rather gently, with
the thought directed towards the phalanges that vibrate in those herbs contained there. When we take the
during the cleansing bath, we can also chant a sung point (prayer), calling the guides who
vibram with those herbs macerated there, that is the magical effect, meaning directing the effects.

For better neutralization, in this bath, step on 1 leaf of with-me-nobody-can-understand under

each of the feet and under a small piece of charcoal, whether vegetable or mineral, since they will absorb the
negative load permanently and if possible, directed towards the North or South Cardinals (Force Exits
Energetics and disaggregating forces - Telluric and Igneous Forces). This bath should be taken,
passing both the water and the leaves through the body.

When we finish the cleansing bath, we should gather the herbs and 'dispatch' them in
some place of nature's vibration such as, for example, in a river (downstream), at sea, in a forest,
etc.; Or even in running water, as they are powerful neutralizers of deleterious currents.

Nowadays there are flush toilets that are bought ready-made, but they are not
recommended, as many are not prepared with the rigor that they should be. Because to prepare
a bath, we must gather the right herbs, at the correct times and days, and during the New Moon phase or

efficient in this aspect, since water combined with salt 'washes' the entire aura.

This bath is just the introductory bath for other ritual baths, that is, after the
purification bath, it is necessary to take an energizing bath, since in addition to the energies
negatives, the positive energies were also discharged, leaving the person drained.

This bath should not be done intensively (every day or once per
week, for example), as it really drains the energy from the aura, leaving him very vulnerable.

certain herbs of such powerful emanations, that they drew intransponable barriers to spirits

WHAT ARE THEY FOR

They have the power of mental elevation. If used during a spiritual work, they have
function of serving as a point of attraction and identification of the main vibration and/or phalanx in
in particular, active in that work, thus serving as a facilitating element for the
incorporated medium. They assist us in our incorporations, as they attract the 'energy'
particular of each entity, capturing and emitting good energies, thus forming a circle of
beneficial vibrations around the medium that uses them.

They serve as lightning rods. If there is a large charge, instead of this charge arriving
directly in the medium, it is discharged onto the guides, and if they can't take it, they break.

They can be used by the medium to 'pull' a certain vibration from

THE ORIGIN OF ESOTERIC UMBANDA - T.U.O

W. W. da MATTA E SILVA

Diamantino Fernandes Trindade (Hanamatan) - Discipulo

of W. W. da Matta e Silva

The Umbandist Movement had two important events:

the first, at the end of the 19th century, with the Caboclo Curuguçu
and the second, in the first half of the 20th century, with Zélio
Fernandino de Moraes and the Caboclo of the Seven Crossroads.
The event of Caboclo das Sete Encruzilhadas brought to
the umbandists the practical part of Umbanda. It was the
first step for general coverage, if there is no
preparation of the vast majority of the Umbanda community for

meanwhile, we must emphasize that this was already anticipated and
some of the mediums prepared by Chefejá knew about the
fact.

In the book by João Severino Ramos, 1953, published by the São Jorge Spiritist Tent, we find the
next:

A movement of agglutination operates among the Umbanda associations. There is a search for a
common denominator for all. Steps are being taken towards a necessary uniformity
the work norms, as they are fundamentally. It outlines, in clear contours, the
the structure of a doctrine that will reveal to us, after all, Esoteric Umbanda: the times have come.

In the 1950s, the third important event of the Umbanda Movement occurred through
W.W. da Matta e Silva, Master Yapacani, who in addition to revolutionizing doctrinal concepts of
Umbanda practiced until then, allowed through its mediumship, the manifestations of the Father.

So who was this man who, through his mediumship and nine literary works, changed
substantially the doctrinal aspects of Umbanda.

Woodrow Wilson da Matta e Silva was born in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, on July 28, 1917 and
went, with the family, to Rio de Janeiro at the age of 5. Between 12 and 13 years old began to
to experience the first mediumistic manifestations (some visions). The first manifestation
it happened when I was 16 years old, embodying Preto-Velho Pai Cândido. At this stage of life
I worked as an assistant for a newspaper in Rio de Janeiro and lived in the city center.

On Thursday nights, I held mediumship sessions, incorporating Pai Cândido, to serve the
people from the republic where I lived. Many times planned profane activities for Thursday-

they were waiting for this night to be consulted.

At the age of 17, he started visiting some Umbanda centers in search of a place to work.

was leafing through a large book. Next to him, some Spiritual Entities were discussing the moment
propitious for the publication of the book. They then decided that the opportune moment had arrived and, in
1956, this fabulous work was made public.

Umbanda of All of Us was released, at the author's expense, by Gráfica e Editora Esperanto,
located at the time, at General Argolo Street, 130, Rio de Janeiro. The first edition was released with 3,500
copies and quickly sold out. From the second edition onwards, the work was published by the Bookstore

The incessant attack on the work only served to publicize it. This fact provoked the anger of its
enemies who began to attack the medium through black magic. In this astral battle, the
shadows and darkness have resorted to all aggressive and forceful means available,
gathering for their ranks of hatred and discord everything most nefarious they could find,
incarnated or disincarnated.

Ms. These events caused a lot of sadness to Matta and Silva, who received permission from the Astral to
temporarily interrupt your work to restore your strength.

Several times I mentioned that it only didn't fall because Oxalá didn't want it to. After the break, Father Guiné
took on all the responsibility for the maintenance and spiritual rebalancing of his son, in order to
soon guide you in the preparation of another work. Through the Gráfica e Editora Esperanto
publishedUmbanda: Its Eternal Doctrine, with esoteric concepts never disclosed. This work
it pleased scholars and intellectuals, but did not achieve good acceptance by the majority of
umbandists of the time. To complement and expand the concepts addressed in this book, published,
next, the book Secret Doctrine of Umbanda that also pleased many umbandists.

Silva is a renowned writer in the Umbanda community.

In his Sanctuary among nature, he wrote another important book: Lessons of Umbanda and
Quimbanda in the Word of an Old Black Man, a mediumistic work that presents a fruitful dialogue
between a disciple, Cicero, and an Old Black Man. This work presents a simpler language for
the majority of Umbandists.

light of reason and charity. For 10 years, W.W. da Matta e Silva served people in the locality and

Continuing in his mission, he wrote his fifth book: Mysteries and Practices of the Law of

in the syncretism of Afro-Brazilian Cults. Then, he published the sixth work: Secrets of Magic
from Umbanda and Quimbanda where it approached Ethereal-Physical Magic and revealed, in a way
simple and practical, some rituals of Umbanda Magic.

Your seventh work: Umbanda and the Power of Mediumship explains the need for the restoration of
Umbanda in Brazil, showing its true origins. It also addresses important aspects of
Magic.

In 1969, he published the book that synthesized the previous seven: Umbanda of Brazil, now sold out six
months after the launch. In 1975, Matta and Silva released his last work: Macumbas and
Candomblés in Umbanda, where it recorded the mystical and religious experiences of the so-called
Afro-Brazilian cults, showing the levels of consciousness of their practitioners, at the highest levels
popular ones of Umbanda.

Let's look at two excerpts from the opening pages of Umbanda of All Us:

Being the first who, without reservation and in writing, did so, caused me singular
satisfaction, since, in sound mind, no one can deny him authority, the result of the deep
knowledge you have about the external and internal movement of Umbanda, cloaked by its
culture and by over 30 years of experience as an activist in this field.

Matta e Silva was very human and opposed to the mythification and mystification of his person. He was very
sensitive and had a strong personality, used to facing the struggles of his own life.
He was very intelligent and had very sharp senses. But he was a lonely being, despite being
always surrounded by many people. His spirit flew, interpenetrating the causes of
sufferings and misfortunes of human beings. For everyone, there was a friendly and individual word. Not
it dealt with problems, it dealt with souls. And so, it had a way of acting for each human being, according to

The 1960s was a difficult period for the Umbanda Movement, due to the
the discrediting that certain television programs, newspapers, and magazines have done to the entities
umbandistas. The “directors” and “presidents” of such Federations and Unions contemplated such an affront.

In 1967, the important magazines Realidade, O Cruzeiro, and Fatos e Fotos published reports.
about the well-known medium from Minas, Zé Arigó, praising his 'wonderful' cures and surgeries
spiritual through his mentor, named Dr. Fritz. The financial advantages started to
involve the medium, through thousands of monthly recipes, which resulted in a greater
consumption of medications from certain laboratories.

These reports featured, in addition to the photograph of Mr. Arigó, a huge poster glued to the wall and
which said: Spiritism of Kardec, yes! Umbanda and Macumbas that do not heal and cause diseases,
No! No Terreiros. Signed: Dr. Fritz.

Let's see what Matta and Silva said about the subject:

What did those pseudoleaders, those 'owners' of the umbanda 'summit' organizations do in the face of
nothing; absolutely nothing! They kept 'ignoring', some cynically, others 'innocently',
similar mockery. They endured everything, crouched, on all fours, silently. They swallowed the
Umbandist moral - 'with caboclo, preto-velho, Orixá and everything'... Ah! Pharisees! It is for these and for
others that they do not tolerate the so-called Matta e Silva...

And when we appeared (by invitation) on a famous television show - Show Without Limits -
initially on TV Rio, then on TV Tupi – (October and November 1967) debating various
subjects, even delving into controversy, as it always aimed to clarify about Umbanda and we did its

sincere, like Dr. Henrique Landi and others, and especially the worthy Deputy Áttila
Nunes.

With this confrere and valiant umbandist, through his radio program Chants of

interviews, urging those responsible to remove from there – from the "Cures Office" of Mr. Arigó

But it wasn't just that! Certain other 'leaders' who had the moral duty to have already done so in some way.

To these traditional resentful people, here is a good tranquilizer: don't be scared!

Between Matta and Silva and them, there will never be a common denominator. We know you very well.
Well. We know what they do for what they preach and enjoy.. We never intend to be the 'owner' of
organizations saturated with ebó and the menotoxin of those 'sacred dancers' and neither of these

Now, this that we have defended for years - the dignity of the true Astral Current of
Umbanda - this is our own. We do not give up this moral, intellectual, spiritual leadership.

Therefore, we will continue to influence the evolved Umbanda environment through our works,
as it is already an undeniable fact, with the certainty that the number of those who are will increasingly grow

The "Old Matta" passed away on April 17, 1988, in Jacarepaguá. For 25 years, he visited
more than 600 Temples to be able to report, in their works, what was happening within the Movement
