Palo Mayombe General

Palo Mayombe is a religion from Africa that was brought to Cuba. It is based on the idea that everything on earth has energy.

Palo Mayombe works with both good and evil magic. To cast the right spell, we will need a mix of ingredients. We offer consultancy in Palo, dealing with life's problems extraordinarily.

An initiatory religion, Palo is organised through small autonomous groups called munanso congo, each led by a figure known as a tata (father) or yayi (mother). Although teaching the existence of a creator deity, Nsambi or Sambia, Palo regards this entity as being uninvolved in human affairs and thus focuses its attention on the spirits of the dead, collectively known as Kalunga. Central to Palo is the nganga or prenda, a vessel usually made from an iron cauldron, clay pot, or gourd. Many nganga are regarded as material manifestations of particular deities known as mpungu. The Palo practitioner commands the nfumbe, through the nganga, to do their bidding, typically to heal but also to cause harm. Those nganga primarily designed for benevolent acts are baptized, while its will and advice are interpreted through various forms of divination.
