Part II: The Architecture of the Garden – The Nganga

At the center of every Palo temple sits the Nganga, also known as the Prenda or Caldero. If you were to peek inside this iron pot, you would understand immediately why outsiders call it a "garden of bones." Palo Mayombe: El Jardin de Sangre y Huesos

• The Bones: A Nganga must contain the remains of a human being—typically an ancestor of the house, a grave guardian, or in infamous historical cases (within the "Judas" line), a powerful enemy. This spirit, called the Nfumbe, is the root system of the garden. It sees, hears, and executes the will of the Palero.
• The Blood: A Nganga must be "fed." Feeding involves sacrifices—animals (chickens, goats, dogs) and, critically, the sangre offered to animate the Nfumbe. Blood is the water that irrigates the garden. Without it, the bones are dry, the Nfumbe starves, and the Mpungu will not manifest.
