What we believe in.

Spanish.

ILE AXE BOMI IS THE NAME OF OUR TEMPLE. A HOUSE OF AFRICANISMO AND UMBANDA RELIGION. IT IS RUN BY TWO BABALORISHAS (AFRICAN PRIESTS), ADRIAN AND ARMANDO, WHOSE HEAD ORISHA IS IEMANJA BOMI. IEMANJA BOMI IS THE FORCE OF THE OCEAN WHERE THE SEA BREAKS IN WAVES.

THE UMBANDA THAT WE PRACTICE IS "WHITE UMBANDA", BECAUSE IN ITS RITUALS THERE IS NO ANIMALS' SACRIFICE. EVERY RITUAL, SUCH AS BAPTHISM, IS BASED ON HERBS, FLOWERS, AND PERFUMS. THE UMBANDA RITUALS LEAD US TO CONTACT WITH THE SPIRITS OF LIGHT THAT COME TO US THROUGH A PROCESS CALLED "INCORPORACION", DURING  WHICH THE SPIRIT TAKES THE BODY OF A MEMBER OF THE FAITH AS A MEDIUM THROUGH WHICH HE SPEAKS AND GIVES ADVISE.

THE BABALORISHAS OF THE HOUSE ARE SONS OF IYALORISHA CRISTINA DE IEMANJÁ THEY ARE GRANDSONS  OF THE EXTINCT BABALORISHA VINICIUS DE OSHALA FROM BRAZIL, AND THEIR "VACIA" COMES FROM THE "PRINCIPE CUSTODIO", TRANSMITTER OF THE AXE (FORCE, POWER) OF THE NATION "GEGE" IN BRAZIL. THAT ONE, IS THE SAME AXE THAT THIS ARGENTINIAN BABALORISHAS KEEP AND  TRANSMIT FROM FATHERS TO SONS OR DAUGTERS IN THEIR TEMPLE THE "ILE AXE BOMI".
