Umbanda appeared in this plan in 1908, when the 17 year old Zélio Fernandino of Moraes after having presented a series of physical problems as a paralysis and of having his personality "taken" or altered by others was taken to a Kardecist centre to try to solve this problem, since the traditional treatments had no effect up to that time.
When the mediums of that table began the Kardecist session, "mysteriously" they incorporate spirits that were identified like mestizoes or blacks-old men (ex-slaves) and they all were orientated by the chief of the table to withdraw, since they were considered late spirits.
However, the spirit that incorporated in that young person identified himself as Caboclo das 7 Encruzilhadas and said he was there to establish a religion, which was free of prejudices and of judgements, a religion which had as a mission only love and charity, without any type of discrimination.
The Caboclo das 7 Encruzilhadas dictated the principal directives of Umbanda, including the name, which comes from the Sanskrit, Aum: God, creator; Bandhã: near, to the side; from there Umbanda, which means close to God.
Umbanda is basically a religion where the mediums work with their corporate mentors or spiritual guides, which are designed to provide spiritual help to those who seek them, to the extent and in proportion to the karma of each.
One need not be Umbandista, or medium to attend the sessions of Umbanda.
And contrary to what many think is not necessary to be a medium to begin within the religion, which occurs simply through a baptism by a spiritual guide, embedded in its medium.
After this ritual, just have faith and sensitivity to perceive the truth and spirituality that only Umbandistas are able to transmit.
