Line of Souls
The line of work of the Pretos-Velhos and Pretas-Velhas are known as the Linha das Almas. All Guides who work in this line are under the vibration of the Orixá Obaluaê. Since its phalanges receive the vibration of other Orixás. In this way we have Pretos-Velhos and Pretas-Velhas who work in the vibration of Ogum, Oxum, Iansã and so on.
About the Pretos-Velhos
We cannot say that these spirits are directly the same Old Blacks from slavery. Within the cyclical process of reincarnation they went through many previous lives: black slaves, philosophers, doctors, rich, poor, enlightened, and others. However, to help those in need, they chose or were chosen to return to earth in the incorporated form of Preto-Velho. Many, not even black, nevertheless chose as their mission to return to this archetype.
According to their phalanx, Pretos-Velhos are advisors showing life and its paths; for others, they are psychologists, friends, confidants, spiritual mentors; In necessary situations, it is the exorcists who fight with their mirongas, herbal baths, fire points, scratched points and others, supported by the exus undoing work. They also fight negative forces (evil), obsessive spirits and kiumbas.
