“Spirituality is the art of relaxation.”
These are the words of Ju of Obaluaê, and they set the tone for this first step into The Language of the Orixás a living, ongoing series within This Cosmic Life.
In this tender and powerful transmission, Ju shares from over 15 years of practice as a medium, priestess, and translator between worlds. We speak of mediumship not as performance, but as a path of deep listening where the body becomes an offering to something more vast than the self.
We explore:
Spiritual autonomy as the ability to soften into trust
The role of the medium as a bridge — not a container
Umbanda and the reverence for the natural forces that live through the Orixás
How connecting to the spirit requires surrender, humility, and love
This is a conversation for those who feel spirit move through them in breath, in silence, in tremble.
For those learning to trust their own access.
For those returning home to the earth, and to their own sacred speech.
Ju is an ordained Priestess of Sacred Umbanda, initiated by Alexandre Cumino at Colégio Pena Branca in São Paulo. She is also a Fire Alchemist through the same lineage and an Alchemist of Exú, initiated by Fátima Saraceni. Deeply rooted in the mysteries of Exú, Pombagira, and the healing forces of Obaluaê, Ju channels transformative teachings through ritual, voice, and presence.
She is the founder of Escola do Pentagrama, a spiritual school dedicated to autonomy, oracular wisdom, and the living language of the Orixás offering e-books, courses, and meditations to seekers and make Afro-Brazilian spirituality accessible across the worlds.
