From the www.VideoSource.com Global Village Travel Guide and DVD, "Brazil". Stock footage available from http Transcript: THE INTRIGUING WORLDS OF MACUMBA; CANDOMBLE AND UMBANDA........... IT WAS THROUGH THE PORTALS OF BAHIA, THE CENTER OF THE BRAZILIAN SLAVE TRADE, THAT THREE TO FIVE MILLION AFRICANS WERE FIRST BROUGHT TO THE NEW WORLD. MISSIONARIES BAPTIZED THEM WHEN THEY LANDED, BUT DIDN'T CARE IF THEY KEPT THEIR DRUMS, THEIR SONGS, STATUES BAHIA AND SOME OF THEIR OWN CUSTOMS. ALTHOUGH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH LATER ATTEMPTED TO SUPPRESS 9.36.50 PAN TO AFRICAN RELIGION, THE SLAVES WERE ABLE TO INCORPORATE WHAT TODAY IS CALLED CANDOMBLE. AS PRACTICED NOW, CANDOMBLE REMAINS CLOSE IN FORM TO THE ORIGINAL white? AFRICAN RELIGIONS BROUGHT BY THE SLAVES. UMBANDA, THE MOST POPULAR FORM OF MACUMBA, IS A COLORFUL BLEND OF CANDOMBLE, CATHOLICISM, AMERICAN INDIAN RELIGIONS AND EUROPEAN SPIRITUALISM. A CENTRAL FEATURE OF UMBANDA IS AN ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS DESCRIBED BY DEVOTEES AS POSSESSION BY SUPERNATURAL BEINGS. SPIRIT POSSESSION IS A STATE IN WHICH THE MEDIUM'S OWN CONSCIOUSNESS LEAVES, AND HIS BODY IS ENTERED BY THE POSSESSING ENTITY. THIS ENTITY MAY BE ANY OF A WIDE VARIETY OF AFRICAN DIETIES, INDIAN SPIRITS, WISE OLD SLAVES, OR INHABITANTS OF BRAZIL'S DEMI MONDE OF PETTY CRIMINALS, BANDITS, COWBOYS AND PROSTITUTES. DRUMMING, SINGING, AND DANCING ACCOMPANY THE CELEBRATION AS THE SPIRITS ARRIVE, ORDERING FOOD, DRINKS, CIGARS, SPECIAL COSTUMES OR WHATEVER IT IS THEY LIKE ...

From an old German film. Even without understanding the commentary the images speak for themselves. In Rio de Janeiro some citizens are being shown going about tehir daily activities. In the evening they gather in their templo. Some of the leading members act as sort of mediums. Finally they and the attendants reach extasy and in trance come into contact with the spirits. See the final clip of this meeting. Read more about the Umbanda religion which arose after WW2 and has strong indians influences combined with a touch of Catholicism in Wikipedia, See 2nd part here: www.youtube.com

Macumba is a word of African (Bantu) origins. Various explanations of its meaning include "a musical instrument", the name of a Central African deity, and simply "magic". It was the name used for all Bantu religious practices mainly in Bahia Afro-Brazilian in the 19th Century. Later (20th century) these practices re-aligned themselves into what are now called Umbanda, Quimbanda and Omoloko. "Macumba" became common in some parts of Brazil and this word is used by most people as a pejorative word meaning "black witchcraft". The word "macumba" is frequently used in Brazil to refer to any ritual or religion of African origin (as slang), and although its use by non-practitioners remains largely pejorative in intent (referring to all sorts of religious (or otherwise) superstitions and luck-related rituals and beliefs), and is considered offensive, its use among actual practitioners is not viewed negatively. In Brazil one can find expressions such as "chuta que é macumba!" ("kick it out, it is witchcraft!") to show disagreement with bad luck.

LEAA's students interviewed the candomblé priestess Madalena, with the purpose to learn more about the relation between water and the female orixás (candomblé divinities). Madalena talked about the myths and legends involving the three female divinities in this afro-Brazilian religion: Iemanjá, who protects the oceans; Oxum, who protects the rivers and Nanã, who lives in the mud. They are connected to life (Oxum and Iemanjá) and death (represented in the religion by Nanã). Next, Madalena sang for each of them. Our students recorded the songs for the Orixás and made a small piece, available in the DigiArts Library, by mixing the voice of Madalena to different water sounds.

Daniel Pinchbeck (born June 15, 1966) is an author living in New York's East Village, where he is editorial director of Reality Sandwich (www.realitysandwich.com). He is the author of Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism and 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. He is the son of painter Peter Pinchbeck and writer Joyce Johnson. In Breaking Open the Head, Pinchbeck explored shamanism via ceremonies with tribal groups such as the Bwiti of Gabon, who eat iboga, and the Secoya people in the Ecuadorean Amazon, who take ayahuasca in their ceremonies. He also attended the Burning Man festival in Nevada, and looked at use of psychedelic substances in a de-sacralized modern context. Through his direct experiences and research, and philosophically influenced by the work of anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner[1] he became convinced that the shamanic and mystical view of reality had validity, and that the modern world had forfeited an understanding of intuitive aspects of being in its pursuit of rational materialism. Drawing heavily upon contributions to the Breaking Open the Head websites forum, Pinchbeck's second book, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl, examines prophecy through personal and philosophical approaches, and offers the hypothesis that humanity is experiencing an accelerated process of global consciousness transformation, leading to a new realization of time and space during this period. In 2012, he also examines the psi or extra ...
