A book on Quimbanda? Many have been written: both are talked about and silent. Exù, the much misinterpreted lord of the crosses, chastised by the chatter of the wives and sometimes reduced to a goetic demon appears in this text for what it really is: a Friend. Who is a friend? For Walter Winchell, in one of his famous aphorisms, a friend is that person who enters when all the rest of the world seems to leave. I would not put it right on this plane, since Exù is present in the life of each of us at all times, joyful or sad, and accompanies us on our journey on this plane as a zealous tutor: now grumpy, now fatherly, now shrewd , now boyish, now understanding, now absolutely uncompromising. Exù is that force that accompanies us in our being here and now. A Quimbanda treatise is not necessarily a book of magic, but the key to access spaces that we have not considered until now even though we have them at hand. Exù, and with him his female counterpart Pomba Gira, appears in this text as a liberator, the only liberator in a world of constraints that we often and willingly build ourselves. From Bantu Africa to Brazil this character has crossed the seas and forests, loading his voice with new meanings, allowing man to reach and elevate his nature in every direction. In this important text all the Exùs of Quimbanda and the Pomba Giras, the offerings, the rites, the pontos cantados and riscados are explained with incredible accuracy. These are the seven kingdoms of Quimbanda, their strength and power. Furthermore you will learn how to work properly with these entities with great competence.
