Mormons announce support for gay marriage and claim that initiative calls for "justice for all"
The agreement with the existence of civil union between homosexuals is growing in the United States, and the favorable end of growing: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that supports the so-called gay marriage.
The statement of the Mormon Church stating the decision was released in late January, when the direction of the name said he was "in favor of laws that protect the rights of homosexuals." However, compliance with these initiatives only exists if "religious freedom is not compromised."
The positioning of the Mormon Church was described by Reuters as "a rare conciliatory move toward a community with which the church has been at odds for a long time."
The support of Mormon is done within laws that create safeguards for homosexuals in "terms of housing, employment and other rights", since the position of the church is "justice for all".
However, the religious ceremonies of gay marriage in churches were not supported by the Mormons, just by demanding respect for religious freedom and traditional Christian liturgies.
"We believe that laws should be shaped to achieve a balance in protecting the freedoms of all people, respecting those with different values," said church elder Dallin Oaks, during a press conference.
"We reject the harassment and retaliation of any kind, including harassment based on race, ethnicity, religious belief, economic circumstances or differences in gender or sexual orientation," said Oaks.
Critics of the church's stance accused her of opportunism, saying the church is the wind of public opinion and who preferred not to resist the social movements. The name accumulates a history of controversy, because in its history, many faithful were polygamous, even against the legislation in force in the country.

SAVE NANA BUROQUE SALUBA

"SAVE NANA In ​​the early times the marshes covered almost all the land were part of the kingdom of Nanã Buruquê and she took care of everything as good sovereign that was when all the kingdoms were divided by Olorun and.. delivered to some deities began to enter the fields of others and many disagreements began to happen. And this time it did this legend. Ogun needed to reach the other side of a large swamp, there was serious confusion occurring and their presence was requested with . urgency then decided to cross the mudflats to not waste time When starting the journey would be long and painful that he heard behind him a commanding voice: -.! Get back to your way boy - was Nanã with its majestic matriarchal figure who brooked no setbacks - To pass through here has to ask permission -?.. excusing As I am one, need urgent warrior reach the other side There's an entire people that need me -No care what you are and your urgency does not concern me . Or excuses or does not pass. Learn to be aware of what is about to others. Ogun laughed scornfully: - What an old can do against someone young and strong as I? I will pass and nothing will stop me! Nanã immediately gave orders for the mud swallow Ogun to prevent their advance. The mud stirred and suddenly began to turn into big swirl of water and mud. Ogun had a hard time getting rid of the immense force that sucked. All his muscles tensed up with the violence of the collision. Were long minutes of a suffocating struggle. Broke out, however, failed to advance but back to shore. From there shouted: -Velha witch, you are strong do not deny, but also have powers. Fill this clay that flame united with sharp metal and you do not get through it without their meat is completely torn. And so he did. The huge swamp turned into a forest of knives and swords that would not allow the passage of anyone else. From that day on Nanã abolished their land use metal of any kind. Was furious at losing part of your domain, but intimately proud of your asset: - Ogun did not pass!

LEGEND OF NANA-02

Nana was the wife of Ogun and held the position of judge in Dahomey. Thought only men, being highly respected by women who were considered goddesses. She lived in a beautiful house with garden. When someone had a complaint about her husband, she tied to a tree and person asked Eguns to scare her. One night Yansan complained of Ogun and he was tied up in the garden. At night, he managed to slip away and went to Ifa. The situation could not continue and so it was agreed that I wish would take away the powers of Nana. He approached and offered her the igbin juice, a type of snail. By drinking the prepared Nanã asleep. Hopefully then dressed as a woman and, imitating the way Nana urged Eguns to go away from your garden forever. When Nana woke up and realized what I wish I had done, forced him to take the same prepared igbin and seduced the Orisha. Would ran and told Ogun that had happened. Outraged, this broke with Nana. And that's why the offerings to Nanã is not used any metal object. Another legend records that, at a meeting, the orishas Ogun hailed as the most important one and that Nanã, not settling for being defeated by him, assumed that no more would use metal utensils created by the warrior Orisha (shields and spears of war , knives and arrows for hunting and fishing). Therefore, she does not accept offerings as they have metal objects.

LEGEND OF NANA - 03

Ogun is undoubtedly one of the most popular gods, worshiped and feared more Yoruba. Sometimes even more feared than Exú, on which it has total control. As is the son of Oduduwa and Yemanja, older and considered the oldest Yoruba Orisha, and in virtue of their connection with metals, without your permission and your protection, no activity would be profitable; owns the obé (knife). However other gods older than Ogun, originating from neighboring countries, even assimilated by the Yoruba, not willingly accept the primacy granted and assumed to Ogun, by Oduduwa. These differences were not resolved until today and gave rise to conflicts between Nana and Ogun, this because Nana, the oldest Orisha of the Nation of Dahomey (a kind of Orixalá of Yoruba) does not accept the command of Ogun. Therefore, no animal offered Nanã, could be cut with obé metal but with the wood.

LEGEND OF NANA - 04

The story of the children of Oxalufã and Nanã Burucu:

Legend has it that Oxalufã lived in his kingdom with Nanã Burucu. It was a correct and good but full of chores king. He left Nanã always alone. He then asked Ifa (which represents the future and can be accessed through the shell game) consent to raise a child to keep company with Nana. This was done and the child, called Oxaguiã, was created in the likeness of his father. Instead of making the company Nana's son was in charge of the kingdom and was also full of responsibilities and always representing the father in the wars and ceremonies outside the kingdom. Nanã but once complained of solitude in which he lived and Oxalufã for Contenta it, then asked for permission to create another child. Thus was created without original sin, Omolu he carried the diseases of mankind. Unlike first child, Oxaguiã, which was strong and full of life, Omolu was rickety and all feridento. Nana, this time, she was upset and had no patience to take care of the sick child. She despised him and left him in the sea. It was there, then that Yemanja overtook him, tended his wounds and gave the mother's love that Nana had not. Again, Oxalufã to settle and soothe Nanã and avoid hassles did another child, this time an irresponsible, selfish and dubious character, Eshu, who liked to play pranks and all beings of the kingdom. It was the last straw for Nana who felt humiliated; she left the kingdom and was taking shelter in the kingdom of Shango. Oxalufã by miss consulted the soothsayer who consulted the Ifa she answered that she would not seek Nanã because he could suffer a punishment for disobedience. But he, missing, decided to go to the reign of Shango even disobeying Ifa. He then undertook alone and walk the journey to the reign of Shango in search of Nana, with a cacaio on the shoulders and the paxerô for support. Tired in the middle of the road, stopped to rest when an old man appeared (Eshu was pretending to be old) who asked him to help him in the head by a pot full of palm. Oxalufã, in his infinite goodness, was help him without realizing it was a joke son Eshu. When he least expected it, Eshu turned full palm on Oxalufã pot and left laughing uproariously. Oxalufã tried to clean up as much as he could and continued the journey. Eshu, seeing that he did not give up, made ​​the turn, this time in a beggar and a bag of charcoal. Oxalufã, to see him sitting on a rock by the road, with the huge bag near him and with the appearance of a poor man, once again offered help. When Oxalufã suspended bag, Eshu poured it full of coal dust upon Oxalufã. To see his father every luscious palm oil and coal, Eshu came out laughing and pinotando the road. Coming more forward, Eshu came back down a foot cashew and sat as a beggar, this time very old and with a huge muringa full of rum. Again, for your kindness Oxalufã tried to help the old man who, in turn, to suspend muringa to head for the shed on the head Oxalufã, which again was molasses, rum now. Eshu came back laughing and jumping like crazy. Oxalufã seeing so dirty, she remembered the river passing nearby and went to bathe. Before reaching the river, he saw a white horse that he recognized as Xango, however, unaware that the horse had fled the kingdom of Shango and that, because he was big pet, had ordered his ministers to find him. It was there they found Oxalufã giving the horse water before taking bath. So the ministers exchanged by a highwayman and promptly put him in a cave along the road and locked the exit, so it was made ​​with horse thieves at the time. Returned to reign with the horse and said nothing about the thief Shango.

A while later, people began to notice the lack of Oxalufã because this no longer appeared not in his kingdom nor in Xango. So the Orishas, ​​to realize the lack of the father, came in search of him. Iansã with thunder and lightning, with thunder Shango and his white horse, Oshun waterfalls in asking that passed him, and Oxossi Osany in the woods. Anyway, all Orishas of the woods and the air they sought. So seven years passed and the reign of Shango went into calamity and was punished by pests, diseases and other ailments. It was then that one of the ministers remembered and consulted a soothsayer who revealed where he was Oxalufã. You went to seek him and find him, all dirty and broken, brought him to the reign of Shango where, on the steps of the palace, gave a water bath and fragrance and you swapped the putting dirty clothes and clean clothes lily. So, from that day, it was determined that children of Oxalufã wore only white and not eat palm oil or coal or caught in drink rum in the days of Friday. Oxalufã, ao se achar limpo e bem vestido, todo de branco, e ao ver todos os Orixás reunidos na frente na escadarias do palácio de Xangô, fez então a criação de um filho que não era do céu e nem da terra, seis meses era homem, seis meses era mulher; seis meses novo e seis meses velho. Era gente e era cobra, vivia nas águas salgadas, doces e nas matas, era de todas as cores e servia de mensageiro entre o céu e a terra. Ele é chamado de Oxumaré e foi o criado de Xangô ( na terra de Angola ele é chamado de Angorô e na terra da Jêje de Dã ).

LENDA DE NANÃ - 05

OLENDA DE NANÃ - 04lorun enviou Nanan e Oxalá para viverem na Terra e criarem a humanidade. Os dois foram dotados de grandes poderes para desempenharem essa tarefa, mas somente Nanan tinha o domínio do reinado dos eguns, e guardava esses segredos, bem como o da geração da vida, em sua cabaça.

Oxalá não se conformava com esta situação, queria poder compartilhar desses segredos. Tentava agradar sua companheira com oferendas para convencê-la a revelar seu conhecimento.

Nanan, sentindo-se feliz com as atitudes de Oxalá, decide mostrar-lhe egun, mas apenas ela era reconhecida nesse reinado.

Certa vez, enquanto Nanan trabalhava com a lama, Oxalá, disfarçando-se com as roupas dela, foi visitar egun, sem lhe pedir autorização.

Quando Nanan, sentiu a falta de Oxalá e de sua própria vestimenta, teve certeza de que ele havia invadido o seu reinado, atraiçoando-a gravemente. Enfurecida com a descoberta, resolveu fechar a passagem do mundo proibido, deixando Oxalá preso.

Enquanto isso, Oxalá caminhava no reinado de Nanan, tentando descobrir seus mistérios, mas apenas ela conseguia comunicar-se com os eguns.

Egun, sempre envolto em seus panos coloridos, não tinha rosto, nem voz. Oxalá, usando um pedaço de carvão, criou um rosto para ele, como já havia feito com os seres humanos, e, com seu sopro divino, abriu-lhe a fala. Assim, ele conseguiu desvendar os segredos que tanto queria, mas, quando se deu conta, viu que não conseguia achar a saída.

Nanan não sabia o que fazer, por isso fechou a passagem para mantê-lo preso até encontrar uma forma de castigá-lo. Contou a Olorun sobre a traição de Oxalá, que não aprovou a atitude de ambos. Nanan errou ao revelar a Oxalá os segredos que o próprio Olorun lhe confiara. Para castigá-la, tomou o seu reinado e o entregou a Oxalá, pois ele desempenhara melhor a tarefa de zelar pelo eguns. Oxalá também foi castigado, pois invadiu o domínio de um outro orixá. Daquele dia em diante, Oxalá seria obrigado a usar as roupas brancas de Nanan, cobrindo o seu rosto com um chorão, que somente as iyabás usam.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 04

Disputa entre NANÃ BURUKU e OGUM

Nanã Buruku é uma velhíssima divindade das águas, vinda de muito longe e há muito tempo.

Ogum é um poderoso chefe guerreiro que anda, sempre, à frente dos outros Imalés.

Eles vão, um dia, a uma reunião.

É a reunião dos duzentos Imalés da direita e dos quatrocentos Imalés da esquerda.

Eles discutem sobre seus poderes.

Eles falam muito sobre obatalá, aquele que criou os seres humanos.

Eles falam sobre Orunmilá, o senhor do destino dos homens.

Eles falam sobre Exú: "Ah! É um importante mensageiro!"

Eles falam muita coisa a respeito de Ogum.

Eles dizem: "É graças a seus instrumentos que nós podemos viver. Declaramos que é o mais importante entre nós!"

Nanã Buruku contesta então: "Não digam isto. Que importância tem, então, os trabalhos que ele realiza?"

Os demais orixás respondem: "É graças a seus instrumentos que trabalhamos pelo nosso alimento. É graças a seus instrumentos que cultivamos os campos. São eles que utilizamos para esquartejar."

Nanã conclui que não renderá homenagem a Ogum. "Por que não haverá um outro Imalé mais importante?"

Ogum diz: "Ah! Ah! Considerando que todos os outros Imalés me rendem homenagem, me parece justo, Nanã, que você também o faça."

Nanã responde que não reconhece sua superioridade. Ambos discutem assim por muito tempo.

Ogum perguntando: "Voce pretende que eu não seja indispensável?"

Nanã garatindo que isto ela podia afirmar dez vezes.

Ogum diz então: "Muito bem! Você vai saber que eu sou indispensável para todas as coisas."

Nanã, por sua vez, declara que, a partir daquele dia, ela não utilizará absolutamente nada fabricado por Ogum e poderá, ainda assim, tudo realizar.

Ogum questiona: "Como você fará? Você não sabe que sou o proprietário de todos os metais? Estanho, chumbo, ferro, cobre. Eu os possuo todos."

Os filhos de Nanã eram caçadores. Para matar um animal, eles passaram a se servir de um pedaço de pau, afiado em forma de faca, para o esquartejar.

Os animais oferecidos a Nanã são mortos e decepados com instrumentos de madeira.

Não pode ser utilizada a faca de metal para cortar sua carne, por causa da disputa que, desde aquele dia, opôs Ogum a Nanã.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 06

Nanã era rainha de um povo e tinha poder sobre os mortos. Para roubar esse poder, Oxalá casou com ela, mas não ligava para a mulher. Então, Nanã fez um feitiço para ter um filho. Tudo aconteceu como ela queria mas, por causa do feitiço, o filho (Omolu ) nasceu todo deformado; horrorizada, Nanã jogou-o no mar para que morresse. Como castigo pela crueldade, quando Nanã engravidou de novo, Orumilá disse que o filho seria lindo mas se afastaria dela para correr mundo. E nasceu Oxumaré, que durante 6 meses vive no céu como o arco-íris, e nos outros 6 é uma cobra que se arrasta no chão.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 07

Na aldeia chefiada por Nanã, quando alguém cometia um crime, era amarrado a uma árvore e então Nanã chamava os Eguns para assustá-lo. Ambicionando esse poder, Oxalá foi visitar Nanã e deu-lhe uma poção que fez com que ela se apaixonasse por ele. Nanã dividiu o reino com ele, mas proibiu sua entrada no Jardim dos Eguns. Mas Oxalá espionou-a e aprendeu o ritual de invocação dos mortos. Depois, disfarçando-se de mulher com as roupas de Nanã, foi ao jardim e ordenou aos Eguns que obedecessem "ao homem que vivia com ela "(ele mesmo). Quando Nanã descobriu o golpe, quis reagir mas, como estava apaixonada, acabou aceitando deixar o poder com o marido.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 08

Certa vez, os Orixás se reuniram e começaram a discutir qual deles seria o mais importante. A maioria apontava Ogum, considerando que ele é o Orixá do ferro, que deu à humanidade o conhecimento sobre o preparo e uso das armas de guerra, dos instrumentos para agricultura, caça e pesca, e das facas para uso doméstico e ritual. Somente Nanã discordou e, para provar que Ogum não é tão importante assim, torceu com as próprias mãos os animais destinados ao sacrifício em seu ritual. É por isso que os sacrifícios para Nanã não podem ser feitos com instrumentos de metal.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 09

Conta a lenda que Nanã só julgava os homens, pois ela colocava as mulheres acima do julgamento humano. Ela plantou um jardim e quando uma mulher reclamava de seu homem, ela o pendurava em uma árvore e chamava os Eguns, espíritos desencarnados, para assustá-lo. Os Orixás estavam revoltados. Então Ogum pediu a Oxalá para ir dominar Nanã. Ele enfeitiçou Nanã e fez com que mostrasse seu jardim. Nanã adormeceu e Oxalá vestiu-se de mulher, fugindo dos Eguns. Nanã acordou e foi atrás de Oxalá, enfeitiçando-o e seduzindo para sempre o Orixá maior. Dessa união nasceu Oxumaré, o arco-íris e também Iroko e Omulu.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 10

Conta-se que Oxalá se ia casar com Nanã, mas um dia ele foi à praia e na beira do mar encontrou Yemanjá. Essa Orixá, muito linda e envolvente, seduziu Oxalá, que ficou em sua companhia. Nanã sofreu muito quando Oxalá voltou e lhe contou que não podia viver sem Yemanjá, mas ele também disse a Nanã que ainda a amava. Ela não se queixou e deixou o noivo ir. Yemanjá é enganadora, fingida e fez muitas a Oxalá, até que ele não quiz mais saber dela e voltou para Nanã. Arrependido, ele disse que o mar lhe chamava, mas era no barro que estava o seu céu. Nanã perdoou a Oxalá e também a Yemanjá.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 11

Dizem que quando Olorum encarregou Oxalá de fazer o mundo e modelar o ser humano, o òrìsà tentou vários caminhos. Tentou fazer o homem de ar, como ele. Não deu certo, pois o homem logo se desvaneceu. Tentou fazer de pau, mas a criatura ficou dura. De pedra, mas ainda a tentativa foi pior. Fez de fogo e o homem se consumiu. Tentou azeite, água e até vinho de palma, e nada.

Foi então que Nanã veio em seu socorro e deu a Oxalá a lama, o barro do fundo da lagoa onde morava ela, a lama sob as águas, que é Nanã.

Oxalá criou o homem, o modelou no barro. Com o sopro de Olorum ele caminhou. Com a ajuda dos òrìsà povoou a Terra. Mas tem um dia que o homem tem que morrer. O seu corpo tem que voltar à terra, voltar à natureza de Nanã.

Nanã deu a matéria no começo mas quer de volta no final tudo o que é seu.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 12

Nanã é a deusa das chuvas, senhora da morte, e responsável pelo portais de entrada (reencarnação) e saída (desencarne).

Em sua passagem pela Terra, foi a primeira iabá e a mais vaidosa, em nome da qual desprezou seu filho primogênito com Oxalá, Omulu, por ter nascido com várias doenças de pele. Não admitindo cuidar de uma criança assim, acabou abandonando-o no pântano.

Sabendo disso, Oxalá condenou-a a ter mais filhos, os quais nasceriam anormais (Oxumaré, Ewá e Ossayn), e a baniu do reino, ordenando-lhe que fosse viver no mesmo lugar onde abandonou seu pobre filho, no pântano.

Nanã tornou-se uma das yabás mais temidas, tanto que em algumas tribos quando seu nome era pronunciado todos se jogavam ao chão.

Senhora das doenças cancerígenas, está sempre ao lado do seu filho Omulu.

Protectora dos idosos, desabrigados, doentes e deficientes visuais.

LENDA DE NANÃ - 13

Nanan Buruku é a divindade das águas, a mais antiga de todas, muito velha e arredia, dona das águas paradas, das lagoas e dos pântanos.

Certa feita, numa reunião com todos os Imalés, falou-se muito sobre Obatalá, aquele que criou os homens, sobre Orunmyilá, o dono do destino dos seres humanos. Sobre Exu disseram que era um importante mensageiro, e sobre Ogun, que era o mais importante de todos, que era o dono do ferro e dos metais e que sem as ferramentas que ele fazia era impossível plantar, colher, construir ou fazer a guerra. Todos o reverenciaram, menos Nanan Buruku.

Ela se dispôs a provar que não precisava dos metais. Com as madeiras mais duras da floresta fez cavadeiras para semear e cavar; para caçar, fez flechas de caniço e osso; para cozinhar, panelas de barro; para guerrear, lanças e clavas, facas de bambu e escudos de couro de rinoceronte.

É por isso que não se usam objectos de metal para matar os animais oferecidos a Nanan Buruku."

We know that we, the Umbanda, we deal with all the colors in a special way, different from other religions . Colors have great importance in our rituals.
We found the use of
colors on the tabs, the clothes, the sails and lines of Umbanda.
For each of the lines (see:
Orishas ) there is a corresponding color:
  • White .................: Hopefully, Black-Old and souls.
  • Blue ....................: Yemanja
  • Brown ...............: Xango
  • Green ..................: Oxossi

But after all, what is the importance of colors for the man?
How colors act in the body and the mood of the people?
We all know that since man appeared on earth, the sun's rays fed him and kept him warm and the
color of flora and fauna were relevant to determine your mood and temperament.
The science that uses different
colors to change or maintain the vibration frequency of the body that results in health, wellness and harmony is called Chromotherapy or Colorterapia.
        C romoterapia is the use of cosmic radiation (cosmic energy) - which is externalized by the solar spectrum in different colors we know - in therapeutic function of balance and health, as a result of being too fruit of that radiation both in our physical nature -EQUIPMENT as energy-subtle or spiritual.
P bond subtle side, the chakras , which are wheels of light and color in motion:
  • make abstraction of higher or cosmic energies and transmute into a form usable by the human structure; and
  • thus supporting the energy, vitalizing and enhancing our life force .
