Orixas in Umbanda

In this updated work with a new cover, you will understand once and for all what and who the Orixás are in the Umbanda religion. This work deals with the subject in a simple, easy-to-read and didactic manner, which makes it accessible to all people who want this knowledge. The author shows that the Orixás are Deities of God, divine manifestations, and this means that they are individualizations of the Creator himself in his qualities and meanings. Alexândre Cumino emphasizes that just as Umbanda's vision of spirits and Divinities differs from that of Spiritism, it also differs from Candomblé and the cults of African nations. The Orixás have an African Nagô Yorubá cultural origin; however, for Umbanda, what matters is the Divinity itself and its divine qualities. This is an introductory work to this vast study, essential for all Umbanda and scholars of the cult of the Orixás.
