This religion was officially founded in Bahia, specifically in Salvador. This was funded officially at the start of the 19th century. It was around this time too, that its first temple was founded. However, its actual origins can be traced back in the early days of the slave trade. This was brought and influenced by enslaved Africans. This is mainly practiced on Brazil, but other Latin American countries do so too.

This religion developed in Brazil. Accordingly, this was due to the knowledge of the enslaved African priests that were brought to the country. Along with the mythology, their culture, as well as their language. This happened around 1549 and 1888. This is a faith that is based on oral tradition, followers do to have a scripture to base their practices on. Practitioners also believe in Oludumare as the supreme creator.

This only stopped in the 1970s after the law which used to require police permission for public ceremonies got scrapped.

Practitioners of this faith believe that an individual has his own deity. This tutelary deity will in turn, controls the destiny of the individual. At the same time, he acts as the person's protector. Each f these deities represent a certain force of nature. Often, it is also associated with certain animals. Food, colors, days of the week and others. The character of a person is also said to be linked to his deity.

In this religion, there is concept about what is good and what is bad. People are expected to do their best to ensure that they get to fulfill whatever there are destined to be. It does not matter what their destiny is. What matters is that they were able to fulfill it. Still, this does not give people any free ticket to just do whatever they please. Any evil they will do will come back to them.
