a chill runs through my spine each time i remember the one natlan character we know of so far is named iansan (possible reference to a deity from an afro-brazilian religion)

#😭😭😭😭anything but the afro-brazilian religions i dont think i could handle that #according to what i know (which isnt a lot. im an extremely raised catholic girlie) she looks over storms and has ties to war? #which does seem in theme w the nation of war i suppose #the genshin writers are capable of doing basic research its just they always manage to make it so very racist in the end #its genshin impact.. i shiver whenever i think of whatever the hell theyre gonna do w natlan #but oh well it's so far away anyways. i probably wont be into the game anymore and therefore it won't be my problem #anyways #is this a complaining tag moment.. maybe #my posts

I LOVE when I'm reading a fic about the Three Caballeros and they make Zé be from Bahia. It's just too funny. His surname is lit "from Rio de Janeiro" but for some reason some american writers make him be from Bahia and it amuses me soo much.

That being said a tip for pleople who want to integrate the Bahia onto Zé: there was a lot of migrations of people from brazilian northwest (for a long time mostly rural) to brazilian southwest (full of industrialized cities), people looking for better condicions that mostly were not met.

Bahia is the biggest northwest state and Rio is the second biggest southwest state. It wouldn't be a shock if Zé grandparents (or even his parents) were from Bahia. It would actually fit well with him having such a connection with the place while saying he never visited it.

#zé carioca #disney ducks #brazilian culture #bahia #rio de janeiro #btw zé is working class #don't you dare write him otherwise #can I saw Scrooge dislike for Donald's latino working class friends is weird #I love Scrooge but it always bothered me they did it in Ducktales #it feels classist if nothing more #also Zé is black latino #the real life sambista he is based on is a black man #and the magic he makes is based in afro brazilian religions #so like as a white brazilian don't make white zé fanarts #new tag: he says donal because of his rio accent

Candomblé is a great example of how traditionalism and feminism aren’t opposing idea!

Umbanda - Uma religião afro-brasileira, que bebe de diversas fontes religiosas e espirituais afim de praticar caridade e receber Axé. O nome “Umbanda” representa a unificação de diversas bandas, ou seja, de diversas crenças e práticas espirituais. Não existe uma doutrina Umbanda, cada casa tem os próprios fundamentos. As imagens abaixo foram retiradas do Pinterest e não pertecem a mim. Se você tem o direito da imagem, posso deletar o post ou te dar os devidos créditos.

Umbanda - An Afro-Brazilian religion that blends many different religious and spiritual beliefs in order to practice charity and receive Axé. The name 'Umbanda' is the union of two Portuguese words, which are 'Um,' meaning 'one,' and 'banda,' which means 'band'; in other words, the unification of spirituality. There is no single doctrine of Umbanda; every 'casa' (house) has its own principles. The images below were taken from Pinterest and do not belong to me.

Please pray for the conversion of my sister Adriele. She's currently attending a witchcraft "temple"(we call them "terreiro" in my country. It's from afro-brazilian religions where they worship '"orixás"), and consulting with spirits there. My family is worried sick. She's dating a man from this religion and he's been influencing her.

God bless everyone here!

Velma by Me!

A question for the Desi Scooby Fans

Hi guys! In my quest to rewrite the horror show that was HBO Velma, I decide to also redesign the characters, making some changes, mostly to their wardrobe, sometimes to their appearance. I will be keeping the changes in ethnicities while adding accordingly to the demands (my demands. I’m the one demanding) like making Shaggy Afro-Brazilian.

Now this brings me to my current query:

Is this design correct for Velma

I wanted to bring more influence from India into her design, but I’m also not Desi myself (I’m Brazilian) and India is a very big place with vastly different habits and traditions depending on where you are. Being half American would also add in ways I can’t even fathom.

If you guys could send me information (or direct me to somewhere where I can learn more) about how a Desi-American Lesbian girl would act, dress in her day to day, also reliable information about what religion she would practice and how it all would shape how she sees, interprets and interacts with the world I would be eternally grateful

Yours Truly,

The Scooby Gang (Gih. That’s me)

The murder of priestess Mãe Bernadete and the rise of the ‘holy war’ against African religions in Brazil

Over the past two years, there has been a 45% increase in attacks fueled by religious intolerance. According to specialists, this is related to the surge of evangelical fundamentalism

Maria Bernadete Pacífico, 72, was an institution in Salvador de Bahía, in northeastern Brazil, where she was known simply as Mãe Bernadete. She was a respected quilombola leader (a community formed by the descendants of slaves who fled their masters) and ialorixá — a priestess of Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé.

For years, Bernadete had been fighting for the territorial integrity of her quilombo, located on the outskirts of Salvador and coveted by loggers and land speculators. A few weeks ago, two gunmen invaded her terreiro — the sacred place where ceremonies are held — and shot her dead. Six years earlier, her son was killed. Investigators have pointed to the agrarian conflict as the main cause of the murder, but haven’t ruled out religious motives.

Crimes due to religious intolerance have grown in Brazil in recent years. According to the most recent data from the Ministry of Human Rights, cases have increased by 45% in the last two years. Last year, 113 complaints were filed, although the government acknowledges that this number may be higher, as many of these crimes are still considered to be fights between neighbors. The incumbent government also accuses the previous administration of Jair Bolsonaro (2018-2022) of dismantling the system that facilitated these types of complaints.

The crime of religious intolerance ranges from extreme cases — such as murder or daily assaults — to insults, threats and other types of discrimination for religious reasons. The latter offenses can result in sentences ranging from two to five years in jail. In Brazil, those who suffer the most from religious intolerance are the practitioners of African-based religions, such as Candomblé, Umbanda and Quimbanda.

Today, August 11th of 2023 will complete one month my father made his passage. He was a babá, a priest of the Afro-Brazilian religion named Umbanda, where we essentially worship nature and its spirits, powers and deities, mostly called orishas.

My sister is a musician, just like he was and she paid this tribute to him with two traditional ritualistic invocation songs for the Orisha Oshun, the one who assisted him, his Mother.

I will provide the lyrics below, in Yoruba, Brazilian Portuguese and English. If you can give the video a thumbs up or a comment, it would make us both very happy.

We hope you enjoy it and that we were able to bring you some of our culture and religion to you, just like he would want it.

Oxum Mãe das Águas.

☃️Brazilian traditional looks☃️

A slice of an introdution

--

Art by unknown, if you who it is from, please warn me and I'll give the proper credit

This outfit featured in the drawing is traditional from the North East region, which is the one I'll be rambling about since is the one I know the most

This outfit isn't used for day-to-day and casual ativities, but mostly for special events.

The dress' name is baianinha

Before going into more details, it is important to highlight how the country, and specially the North East part of it were influenced by african culture.

The Africa is a wide and huge continent, full of the most diverse cultures, some of which, due to the diaspora, were bought here.

The Brazilian culture is, fundamentally, a mix of indigen, african and portuguese culture. Our language was a contribuition of the Portugueses, and many of it was also influenced by the Tupi (one of the most spoken indigen languages in the territorry), from which we have many many many words. The enslaved black people bought here also bought their cultures, and that was a big influence for the cuisine, the dances, the kid games and the clothes. We all know what Europe looks like and their culture doesn't differ much so we know what portugueses bought (some influence in the cuisine, the clothes ofc, the dances and stuff).

Dependong of the area of the country you're in, some specifics aspects of the culture may stand out. For some historical reasons (I won't be explaining here becaude it would make this way longer), the european imigrants from Modern Era went mostly to the South, and the black enslaved and no-more-enlaved were concentrated in the North East; the native people (indigenous brazilians) managed to stay in the North, and as so you can see a larger influence of White Culture in South and South East, a larger influence of Black Culture in the North-East, and a larger influence of Indigenous Culture in North.

The baianinha outfit has its roots bonded to afro-origined not only culture, but religions, like the candomblé and ubanda, in which the praticers use similar clothing. In Bahia (North-east), one of the most black influenced states of Brazil, this one is quite of a symbol.

Yemanjá is one of the most popular ‘orixás’, the deities or spiritual entities from the Afro-Brazilian religion of Candomblé, a syncretic religious fusion which has developed amongst the people brought to Brazil from Western Africa during colonial times. The personage of Yemanjá/Yemaya originally comes from the ancient Yoruba mythology and she is the goddess of the ocean.
