Umbanda as a religious movement is made known "socially" to the Americas, in Brazil, more precisely in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1908 in the hands of young medium Zelio Fernandinho De Moraes. Zelio Fernandinho De Moraes was considered the founder of Umbanda law after a seance, the young medium of just seventeen, features and gets first light to an entity that was presented with the name "Das Caboclo Sete Encrucilhadas ". And despite the controversy which currently holds about the beginnings of this religion, there is plenty of documentation attesting to their origins. De Moraes was born and raised within a Catholic family, died in October 1975 to 84 years, after working tirelessly and relentlessly to hold erect the flags of this religion. His childhood was normal interval until it undergoes a strange and sudden paralysis in his lower limbs. Despite persistent queries doctors failed to diagnose the source of the disease and therefore healing it was medically impossible. One day while sharing a family reunion, the teenager began gesticulating and speaking in indigenous languages, unknown to him, said his full recovery soon. As he had said, Moraes next morning he rose from his bed and started walking. Although curing the unexplained paralysis that had, concern and bewilderment of his family did not stop because the boy was frequently "possessed by a spirit unknown" who left messages about a new religious movement. Shocked and frightened by the strange behavior of the young and at the continuing suffering possessions, his parents decided to seek help and come to the Spiritual Federation of Niteroi and explain the concern that engulfs its president, Jose De Souza, Alan Spiritualist follower Kardos, who suggests the possibility of involving the youth in a seance. It was at that meeting where it was found in Fernandinho manifestation of an entity called himself "Das Caboclo Sete Encrucilhadas and have come to fulfill a spiritual mission. The members of the board Kardecist considered the manifestation of an Indian speaking on behalf of "black spirits of old slaves" was to allow the entry of foreign cultures to the sessions so that the young man tried to desist. Repeated attempts to dissuade him were in vain, Das Caboclo Sete Encrucilhadas reaffirmed keep them and reiterated its mission. Over time, new forms began to develop in the session, the messages of "Caboclo" were no longer exclusive to Moraes, other components of the spiritualist group began receiving in sessions, entities, beyond reaffirming caboclo ads, access to new philosophical concepts, which surprised the table components Kardecist, breaking with the structures set up as normal pattern of meetings. The messages were aware that their "arrival" to the land was because they had been commissioned to play a very important mission in the spiritual realm: "Bringing the world, Peace, Love and Charity, thus making from the most powerful to the humble inhabitant of this land was the same. " From these circumstances, the dynamics of Kardecist table, begins to develop differently. The static holding hands in strict link, which until then was living practice their rituals, gave way to a more fluid medium incorporating plants where absolute freedom of movement. Entities that had mobilized around the room in complete freedom and strangely, asked those present to the guests with cigarettes, drinks, water, and different elements, which, after "Fluid energy by passing over them," were entertained some members, with the explanation of the entities, such ax were offered to serve as a calm and relief to their pains. Were incorporated on other mediums that explained precise data on how and why religion Umbanda religions are blended African, Eastern, Native American and Judeo-Christian, each message left by the spiritual guide or entity, reliably corroborated. Thus the Caboclo Sete Encrucilhadas Das, first introduced in the young medium, initiated the new religious movement: the Umbanda religion. This movement was joined by many of the Spiritualists who along with Catholic and indigenous African natives, formed under the assumption of "Das Caboclo Sete Encrucilhadas" the basis of the first Temple Umbanda called "The House of Spiritual Works Our Lady of Mercy." The group grew and opened "Terreiros" throughout Brazil, incorporating a new form, in which both the meanest inhabitant of the favela, as large landowners, coupled shared, light and love of Umbanda. This fusion of creeds and races makes a crucible UMBANDA amalgam beliefs brought to Brazil by black slaves, native culture and Christianity of the European colonizers. sacraments and commandments of the Law of Umbanda
