In Umbanda, Pretos Velhos (Old Black Spirits) are entities of elevated wisdom and humility, represented by the image of African elders who lived through the period of slavery in Brazil. They are fundamental in Umbanda practice, acting as true spiritual guides and counselors.

Here are the central points about this lineage:

• Symbol of Wisdom: They represent patience, experience, and resilience. Through their teachings, they transmit lessons about the value of love, forgiveness, and overcoming earthly difficulties.
• Role: They are known for their power of spiritual healing and counseling. With gentle speech and serene gestures, they attend to consultees in terreiros, offering advice aimed at emotional balance and spiritual cleansing.
• Typical Elements: They frequently use simple everyday and natural elements in their healings and works, such as tobacco (pipe), coffee (unsweetened), and herbs.
• Appearance: Although they take on the fluid form of enslaved elders, this form is a spiritual choice to demonstrate the overcoming of suffering and the attainment of wisdom through the marks life imposed upon them.

In summary, the Pretos Velhos are the "grandfathers" of the religion, welcoming those who seek comfort, direction, and a deeper connection with spirituality through simplicity.
