ABOUT
Centella Ndoki is the kimbosium or magical vessel of the female mpungu Mariwanga. She represents the spirits of the graves and is the gatekeeper of the portal between life and death. Centella rules over Nfuiri - the Angel of Death (Iku in Santeria) and dominates the eggúns (spirits and dead), the winds, storms and lightning bolts. She is highly respected in Mayombe, and feared due to her hot, reactive, and impulsive nature. She is also known as Mariwanga or Mama Wanga, Pungu Mama Wanga, Kariempembe, Marufina and Yaya Kengue.
Centella Ndoki is petitioned by paleros and rootworkers for protection, enemy work, and for assistance with spirit work. Ndoki is a Congo word that means "one who casts magic spells", a title that refers to her sorcerous powers. Centella Ndoki intercedes on behalf of her petitioners with sudden upheaval and dramatic change. Most of her magical work is done in graveyards. Her ritual number is 9. Her colours are purple, black, and red. Animal sacrifice is used to propitiate Mariwanga within the Congo-derived religions. Altar offerings for Centella Ndoki include eggplant, red wine, plums, and rum.
