Enlightenment, Moksha, or Gnosis are words used to describe various forms of spiritual liberation, self-realization, and self-knowledge. In a general sense, it expresses a blissful state of existence of a human soul. It is most-commonly found in connection with the main Indian religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism; however, it is also the expressed goal of numerous occult schools passed down from the early tradition of Gnosticism.

Nirvana and moksha, in all traditions, represent resting in one's true essence.

-'''[[Candomblé]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion]] that developed in Brazil during the 19th century. It arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West and Central Africa, especially those of the Yoruba, Bantu, and Gbe, coupled with influences from [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]].
+'''[[Enlightenment]]''', '''''Moksha''''', or '''Gnosis''' are words used to describe various forms of spiritual liberation, self-realization, and self-knowledge. In a general sense, it expresses a blissful state of existence of a human soul. It is most-commonly found in connection with the main Indian religions: [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], and [[Jainism]]; however, it is also the expressed goal of numerous [[occult]] schools passed down from the early tradition of [[Gnosticism]].
-Candomblé revolves around spirits termed ''orixás'' (orishas) or ''santos'' ("[[saint]]s"). Believed to mediate between humanity and Olorun, the ''orixás'' have been varyingly conceived as ancestral figures, or embodiments of forces of nature. Each ''orixá'' equates with a Roman Catholic [[saint]]. In Candomblé altars, the ''orixás'' are often represented with images and statues of Roman Catholic saints.
+''Nirvana'' and ''moksha'', in all traditions, represent resting in one's true essence.
-Although it is usually a dancer who becomes possessed, sometimes spectators will too. A possessed person is called a ''cavalo'' (horse); being possessed by the ''orixá'' is deemed a privilege.
