Candomblé revolves around spirits termed ''orixás'' (orishas) or ''santos'' ("[[saint]]s"). In the Angola tradition they are sometimes termed ''inkice'', and in the Jeje tradition vodun. The males are termed ''aborôs'', the females ''iabás''. Believed to mediate between humanity and Olorun, the ''orixás'' have been varyingly conceived as ancestral figures, or embodiments of forces of nature. Their names may differ according to nation; in Nagô they commonly possess Yoruba names, but in the Jeje nation they are instead given Fon names. | Candomblé revolves around spirits termed ''orixás'' (orishas) or ''santos'' ("[[saint]]s").
