Presentation:

For the past 34 years Babalorixá Paulo de Oyá has been working in the preservation of the Candomblé Religion. Through búzios shells fortune telling Paulo de Oyá has helped and helps hundreds of people to bring happiness and well being back. He reminds man that through Candomblé, one can identify himself with the forces of Mother Nature.
Candomblé is about rescuing respect to our great nurturer, Mother Nature.
The Africans brought to Brazil their foods, customs, rites and rhythms, having a great influence in the development of the multi-cultural country which Brazil is today.
The afro-descendent religion is today, a completely Brazilian tradition and is associated with the forces of nature and cult of ancestors. It is believed that through the oral language, by singing, dancing and playing instruments through myths and history, knowledge is preserved and transmitted throughout generations.
Intellectual society, however, tends to opress this manifestation.
Candomblé is still alive. Every week we meet for rituals at the "Terreiro de Oyá" in São Paulo. There are also services in Rio de Janeiro and in Salvador da Bahia. We have also created this website in order to preserve the customs, in an interactive way, and to bring forth the earth to modern man, who seeks respect and liberty through religious expression.
