A path that branches,
meets and parts.
Schools and lineages
Branches · 1
Many paths. Shared histories.
What this means
Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.
Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

Gods and divine figures
What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 30 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
A god named in a tradition is a figure of its accounts; a picture of one is a work of art, not a likeness.

Connections
How Candomblé connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Affiliation 2
What this means
Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.
Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure · personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population
