União Umbandista dos Cultos Afro Brasileiro - UUCAB - Rio de Janeiro - RJ

Great service

On January 19, we were at the Orixás Ecological Park, an entity organized by the Umbandista Union of Afro-Brazilian Cults whose Spiritist Tent São Lázaro is registered under nº 11,646 and with annual fees paid until December 2020. The Park maintains a book for booking appointments spaces and by a TESL practice, that day had already been separated for two years. We arrived in peace at 07:00 in the morning and with all the conditions to make a beautiful tour in spaces 05 and 07 that we had rented for that day. Everything beautiful and everything wonderful, even out of nowhere a woman who seemed to be a saint's caretaker, INVADERING the space where we were holding our tour, without asking permission, wanting to pass through the circle of people where our ritual was being performed. When I activated, there was a line of more than 10 people with her who would do the same. I immediately got up and barred the access of the next and the other members of her entourage and asked them to have respect, as a TESL tour was taking place in that space and there were entities incorporated by our greeting at that moment, they insisted on passing by and I went forced to impose on them the access side path that they wanted the waters of the 07 waterfall, they backed off and managed to follow the sides. We continued with our tour and we didn't care that they were accessing the side of the waterfall (WHICH WAS RESERVED FOR TESL) letting them do their duties, but the so-called holy caretaker puts a naked boy in the water and starts to scrape. lo and sacrificing animals of all kinds in his head, throwing pieces and blood to all sides of Rio, singing and evoking their rites, without the slightest shame for our presence, in our RENTED space, without an ounce of respect for the aggression of having a naked boy so close to children and other people who were with us, without the slightest respect for the space they were using without paying or having authorization! As we are of peace and love, we waited for about 60 minutes for her to finish her “functions”, but the thing extended and we were forced to call the administration of Parque dos Orixás to take a stand, as we also had things to do in that space. The administration came and informed the woman that they COULDN'T do anything in that space that was reserved for another house!! They left due to the imposition of the administration, but they left physical marks of their short passage, many feathers, blood, fur, garbage and who knows what else!! What to make of it all? Lack of respect from the mother of saint who invaded a tour of another house, with her things and would do that with a line of people passing by in the middle of the ritual? Lack of respect because it is an Umbanda tour and theoretically it would be from another angle, so wouldn't it need to have respect? The simple fact of being rude and teaching that to your saintly children? Lack of organization and control of Parque dos Orixás, which allows that even with the capacity and rented spaces, other people can go down to the spaces and do as they please? Is there a lack of a guard at Parque dos Orixás who could be hanging around all the spaces and curbing this type of abuse and confrontation? Anyway, here's the tip for the next events in that space, have all the observation when people approach your tours, as it seems to me a thoughtful act, not paying for spaces, not joining an expensive entity and on the day you need it, pay an access fee and invade the spaces and stay there singing and doing their rituals as if they were a member or payer! Parque dos Orixás as a member of this entity, the Spiritist Tent São Lázaro demands that measures be taken. For peace within axé and respect between homes and institutions.
