Okay, we are live.

Hi, this is William Ramsey.

Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest.

His name is Yao Kulasu.

He's from Portugal, and he reached out to me about his experience with this kind of syncretist, African, Brazilian spiritist religion called

Ambonda, UM, B, A, N-D-A, and also there's another one that he also practiced as well, which I can't remember offhand.

But anyway, we're going to talk about that.

This is kind of ties in with my research into Yao of God.

We were talking in the pre-show about this kind of

spiritism, syncretism. And Cardak, who is a 19th century spiritist during this, he would be like

a French version of Blavatsky in some ways, communication and summoning of spirits and things

like that. But this is kind of an interesting

group that's that's all over Brazil and kind of kind of leaching or coming back

into the European mainland a lot of these videos that I will show are from Brazil

but there's a lot going on and this is kind of like one of those African

religions, maybe like the Northern American Palo Mayumba. I've done shows on that. Now, it was

Constanza was a practitioner of that, which is based on African stuff or Santeria, but this is different.

This is Ambonda and the guest again is Yao.

So Yao, welcome to the show.

Hello.

It's very nice to be here.

I've been a listener for a while.
