Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

Candombl is an Afro-Brazilian faith founded by blacks in the Bahia region and is now practiced nationwide by followers of all ethnicities. Followers of candombl believe that health is maintained by achieving balance between the earthly and spiritual spheres. The pai-de-santo or babalorix (high priest) or the me-de-santo or ialorix (high priestess) may be hired to read the oracle of a personal orix, for example, so that an individual can improve his or her relationship with the deity. Harmonious relations with one's orix can maximize ax (vital force). Spiritual equilibrium is maintained by observing the preferences and prohibitions of one's orix, including certain foods and beverages, colors, therapeutic herbs, beaded necklaces, and other limitations. The priest or priestess also serves as the local curendiero, diagnosing physical and spiritual problems, prescribing healing herbal baths or botanicals, and manipulating occult forces.
