Ngoma Bunzi is the Yombe supreme deity. He resides in Yulu, a place which is off-limits to people. He is never contacted directly. Instead, appeals are made through earth spirits (Nzambi a Tsi) and river spirits (Simbi). Shrines were also erected to remember important ancestors, and chiefs were accorded sacred powers. The healers (waganga) could be solicited to perform cures, to provide protection from harm, to bring good fortune, or on occasion to avenge harm done by a witch. The medicine of the waganga was closely tied to nkisi bundles. (read more about the Yombe People )
