Palo Mayombe

spirit · Cuba · Caribbean

Palo Mayombe is not a spirit but an Afro-Cuban religion (Las Reglas de Congo) derived from Kongo traditions. Its spirits are mpungu (deities like Lucero, Sarabanda, Madre de Agua) and nfumbe (dead spirits housed in nganga vessels). The entry misclassifies a religion as a creature.
