PATIPEMBAS:

ANCIENT & MODERN

introduction

Many of the firmas contained in this treatise are as old as the world itself and of course the There are more modern,
and are considered the oldest human writing. The exact origin nobody knows so use it with care as the rituals that
appear here are serious, strong and dangerous if not respects the forces which invokes, do not use a whim, they are
basically part of the system Palo Mayombe belief of which is used to both create and destroy. Of course the old work
as well as by modern beliefs so if you really believe, these firmas will give unlimited power.

The patipembas were created, used and maintained for centuries by African tribes. Signatures are used to invoke the
power of the ancient deities to assist us and help in this life, these ancient deities are mean Npungos Light Force or
Power, which were compared with the Orishas and Catholic saints, but that's another story.

The signatures mean, in the Rules of Palo Monte, the sacred record. Most cultures old, such as those of Egypt in
Africa, India, Mesopotamia, China etc., basabas in the sun and Moon and shining light to make your drawings or
signatures to call extrasensory presence and supernatural influence exerted on every moment of the life of these
peoples. We can define these firmas, since, as the interaction of the vibrations of nature, spiritual beings and thinking
sensitive to these forces.

Every human being is identified with a signature, likewise, each nganga or Nfumbe will designed by a line that
represents it and that's partly a product of his power or destiny, but whose basic features are very similar to those of
their sponsors or house tradition.

When a Ngueyo passes initiation rites have been made in your body stripes magical signature initiates distinguish it
from other houses. Also, get your name in the Regla which has been started or scratched. This name represents who
you are or who will and destiny, and form a part of the family of that family.

Now when the initiate receives Nganga and becomes Padre or Madre Nganga, use the stroke of the prenda you
receive. This allows you to communicate with the spirit that inhabits when not in their presence, when away from his
pledge. Every movement in the rites of the Rules of Palo Monte strokes is preceded by magic. Fula burns for output
and raise the vibrations of all elements of the nature and Nfumbe this pending orders and also waiting of the offerings
made to him for his work on the requests of the faithful.

The patipembas do many things to make the work and rituals and says who is the individual, their character, their
parents, their spiritual relations and the way your home nganga and which belongs, etc.
The circle and cross are the basis of all drainers firms, is divided into four parts, vertical and horizontally, crossing the
lines at right angles and passing through a central point. As high is the sky: nsulo, in the middle, on the horizontal line
is the earth: Ntoto, and the other side is kalunga, sea. In the lower point is kumangongo, meaning inside the earth,
that is, the land of the dead. For the Congolese and their descendants are three limited regions in themselves: the
land and sea, which are the visible world and celestial space, home npungus and spirits who were living human
beings.

NSULO

NTOTO KALUNGA
KUMANGONGO

Many of these firms were collected from houses and temples of Paleros and practitioners, some are very known and
others not, but they are very useful and used in the religion of Palo.

All Reglas of Palo Monte trace their signatures with white chalk, charcoal, yellow plaster with scale, with salt and the
npaka. The white color is identified with death and therefore is the most used and yellow with life as I have explained,
we see an egg white shell protects life, life is in the egg yolk is yellow, with this I hope you understand why the scale
is used and yolk yellow powder or chalk, although generally used white for most jobs and initiation. The black will be
used when determining a job to do damage with the Nganga.

 KIMPUNGULO
PATIPEMBAS OF THE NPUNGOS

The Mpungos are forces, energies, higher spirits emanating from the force of the Supreme God is the maximum
force that created the universe, which he called Sambi Npungo and they were the first to walk and the first to
experience everything. The mpungo were made by Nsambi to serve the man to help steer the trials and tribulations
of life and traditions and Congas teach the skill of the dead, were provided by Nsambi Npungo to service man, and
serves both man and brings his prayers to Sambi and Mambi. The mpungos, as the spirits of nature and the simbis
nkitas are important to practice Palo, but not the only part of this. Much of Palo practices have to do with the dead
and how Palo interacts with the dead. This often confuses people into thinking Paleros enslave spirits, that this is not
so, there are many houses that work in different ways! no more going to the firmas of the Mpungos.
