Questions and answers of Briyumba and Mayombe

Questions and answers of Briyumba and Mayombe
Over the years that I've been professing the practices of the Afro-Cuban religions, I have been challenged with several questions with regard to these religions, which I discuss below with their controllers answers, to give knowledge to stakeholders.

1 How many African religions came to the Caribbean?

Cuba came four religions of foundations, which are: IFA, Palo Mayombe, the Ocha and Abakua.

2. What is the meaning of Briyumba and Mayombe, and that part of the African continent they come?

Briyumba and Mayombe are a set of secret ceremonies that include plants, sticks, stones, animals and much more; which, currently, they are referred to as treaties of orders of Palo Monte and come from former areas of Zaire, Nkita, Lemba, Munankita etc...

3 - Known and spoken Briyumba and Mayombe first secrets which were born, or the first treaties do can tell us where and when the institution of the Holy Christ good trip was?

When speaking of religion Palo Monte, that the congós brought from Africa to Cuba, we talk about the secrets of Yumba and Yombe (which do not will be exposed here, openly in the public light); now, the institution of the Holy Christ good voyage, born in Cuba around 1860, and is based on the syncretism of the rules of Palo Monte with santería and spiritualism. Its founder was called Andrew Facundo Christ of the Dolores Petit, who envisioned the creation of an institution in order to start the Caucasians (the old briyumberos and mayomberos, of those times, said that it was created for wealthy whites at the time)(, and why they accused him of ambitious and traitor).

4. What Kimbiza?

Kimbiza was a nickname given by the congós of the era to Andrés Petit, by its rift and rebellion to the traditions of the rules of Briyumba and Mayombe, which remained as the name of the branch of the institutions of the Holy Christ good voyage. It is important to detail that in some ad dialects at the time, the word Kimbisa meant something that we do not post here; find out on pages dealing with old ad dialects.

5. What are the incomplete ngangas?

The incomplete ngangas are those who lack the three fundamental powers, which are the Diombono, the Dilanga and the Kagüete Nganga. The Diombono is the protector that the gangulero will not imprisoned, the Dilanga is the winner of all the wars of the gangulero and the Kagüete is the protection of the nganga; When a dark nfumbe is sent to the enemy the Kagüete protects that not him agarren and taken you the nfumbe thereof.

6 Could I name who are corrupt godparents?

Corrupt sponsors are those who play with the feelings of their godchildren, who abuse of their needs, who before enshrining them promise and never meet them, that they have intimate relationships with them, etc., etc.

7 Could I name some of the mistakes of certain sponsors?

Among the errors committed by certain sponsors, first is the lack of knowledge and ethics religious, to create parent developed directly without going through the first stage of consecration (the Ngueyos), when the Office of father Nkisi is so sacredSince it is the release of the Ngueyo to go in search of a higher Office; in second is the lack of appropriate ceremonies of a father Nkisi, like of the mount, the del rio and la loma, to collect the secrets they need and in third is, the deliver Luceros and ngangas to these initiates direct parents.


8 - You then talks about the profanation of the 21st century. What you mean?

I refer to the inepcias of parents developed scratching without being empowered, and the sacrilege of mothers Nkisis committing the most serious of scratch and kill animals by way of ceremonies, when no woman is allowed to scratch or kill animals for any type of religious ceremonies in general.

9. What that concept you have, of those sponsors who do not teach to their godchildren?

That they are selfish godparents, or that can be honest and say that they lack the knowledge to teach them, cheat them with false testimony of wisdom and invent things to confuse them and keep them away from the truth.

10 What is the retirement above nganga, and occupy what place, those pensioners within the orders of Palo Monte?
11 Because it is said that you above nganga there fasenda (gay)?

In land of Kabanga, Mariata associated condemned homosexuals, and between several accusations that she noted, emphasized that to be gangulero, one of the commandments showed the good child, and that they were not. To be confronted with the explanation, he said that these were not good children because they lied to his mother at birth, they dressed the nascent sex and were of the opposite sex. This wisdom was logical to elders and from then on they were sentenced to be not enshrined in any ceremony of Palo Monte. The fact that many paleros rayan fasendas by money or etc., does not authorize them to enter any palo ceremony or be from the garment, including which have been scratched in the children.

12. What is a ngangó?

The ngangó is another lie invented by a layperson, lacking in knowledge, that profess this religion.

13. Do you believe that you can make a direct Nkisi father?

This question is clarified in number 7, but I want to add to do direct father, in this religion, does not have any validity, because where they would be the mpungos of this supposed father, if not give knowledge to the deities, through the ceremony of Ngueyo.

14 - Entuala, you as a researcher and expert in African religions, I ask, can a Ngueyo receive nganga?

As I have already explained on many occasions, from the beginning and over the years, the godfather to him surrender nganga to a ngueyo, is an inept. It's like give a gun charged to a 7-year-old boy to play.

15 - Some say that women does not occupy any important place in the religion of Palo Monte, what is of true?

That's uncertain, women occupy a very important place in this religion, without it there is no ceremony of any kind.

16 - Do by what you say, there is no Tata without Kuballende?

Kuballende was which divided all the offices, so if the patipemba is not on the ground when a Tata is born, that Office has no validity whatsoever.

17 It is that no mother nkisi can scratch true?

I also had this at number 8, but I agregaré that you have said and well clear Mariata associated, which is our goddess; Although there is no Moon, the curse of the women will always be present, now I say, do by what Mariguanga saw colorado?

18 Because you say that paleros there are many and that gangulero there are few?

Because among many called, few are chosen; and that is to say that Yes, that there are many paleros, but gangulero, is the Godfather, the father, the master, the connoisseur of plants and their properties, the secrets of consecration and treaties, and much more...

19. Who is the honorable gangulero?

Among other merits, it is primarily given to respect and earn that respect.

20 - I have heard that a father can not scratch to his son, nor you should deliver nganga. How true is this?

It is true that no parent is authorized to deliver a nganga to his son, nor much less scratch it, given that who blesses procreando not must punish at the same time. This is based on the punishment it receives the neophyte when it passes through the sacrifice of consecration.

21 - What can you tell me, with respect to these sponsors that go with the ahijadas?

I briefly mentioned this in the question number 6 but for me this is the most important question, so I explain: Goddaughter is a daughter, which is incest have relations intimate with the goddaughter, or the Godson with godmother; This is not permitted on the orders of Palo Mayombe, for this is that I am criticising godfathers and godmothers unscrupulous.
