So, there's this visiting Brazilian grad student who I met around campus, and we were chit-chatting and I asked him about candomble.
As it turns out, he has friends from the favelas, and they invited him along and he went to a number of ceremonies back when he was in high school, and he said that he would be there for hours, and people would just dance and dance and dance, and then the spirits would take them over and you could see it and they would start giving advice to whoever wanted it.
"Really?!", I was like. "What was the advice?".
"I don't remember exactly," he was like. "But it was like a bad psychologist."
