Embanda is a [[Zanobia|Zanobian]] diasporic religion practiced in [[Ancoria]] combining elements of [[West Zanobian religions]] (in particular that of the [[Oredodo]], [[Mafra|Mafrans]] and [[Ambundia|Ambundians]]), [[Canonical Soterianity]] and indigenous Ancorian practices. Embanda derives from the West Ambundian term for magic, mbanda, though its practitioners prefer terms like //santeiros// and //povo dos santos//, roughly translating to 'saintly people' or 'people of the saints'. This is due to the syncretic role between [[Soterianity|Soterian]] saints and Embanda orixás within the Embanda religion, though many others simply regard themselves to be Soterians, viewing no contradiction apparent in their practices.

Highly decentralized, Embanda is divided into a number of disparate rites and 'nations' that further complicate broad oversimplification. Some of these rites share syncretic elements not only with Soterianity, but with religions such as [[Nirvanism]], [[Tōnallōlloheztli]] and [[Zuhd]].
