We open the work with a Gira of Yemanj\u00e1. We were only a few people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nIt was not easy to find herbs\n\nWe had no colored candles\n\n\nNo elements available\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe learned to adapt and use local herbs\n\n\nWe used white candles\n\n\nWe used the little we had\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>But since we are not alone, we started to receive help from various people. that were fundamental to our journey. Pai Fabio Verch (Casa de Umbanda Pai Pedro &#8211; Perth, AU) and Pai Aderito Sim\u00f5es (Terreiro Caboclo 7 Montanhas). And many other brothers who were part of my formation as an Umbandista.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h5>Our Beginning<\/h5>\n\n\n<h2>australia<\/h2>\n\n<p>My family and I moved from Brazil to Australia in 2017, in this period we already practiced our Faith as Umbandistas, but we had no intention of opening an Umbanda House. But spirituality already had its course.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Gratitude to the house that formed me as a medium &#8211; Casa do Amor (RJ), where we have the dear leader Carlos Humberto Soares<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color: rgb(136, 136, 136);\">Mother Oxum teaches us self-love and love for others.
