filho-de-santo / jogo (de búzios) => practitioner of candomblé..Meridilogun

Filho de santo é toda pessoa que, efetivamente, tem um compromisso com o orixá, vodun ou inkice e com a religião do candomblé, ou demais religiões afro, podendo chegar à feitura de santo. No candomblé, é através de uma consulta ao jogo de búzios meridilogun que a pessoa fica sabendo se precisa fazer algum ritual.
