Pomba Gira Rainha Das Ciganos is the owner of fun, everything that is esoteric, easy money, beauty and attraction. She helps you to obtain things fast but you also lose them fast. Things are not to be kept but to keep changing. She always gives you what you need at the time. Her phalanxes are:
–Pomba Gira Cigana Da Praza
–Pomba Gira
–Cigana Do Pandeiro
–Pomba Gira Cigana Da Rúa
–Pomba Gira Cigana Menina
–Pomba Gira Cigana Do Povo
–Pomba Gira Cigana Do Oriente
–Pomba Gira Cigana Do Amor
–Pomba Gira Cigana Da Fe
–Pomba Gira Zoraida
–Pomba Gira Zonoroida
The use of flowers has a different meaning for Pomba Giras:
– White roses are used for peace and health, especially for children. You may offer them to Pomba Gira Menina, among others.
– Red roses are used for unbridled passion and active sex and you may offer them to any Pomba Gira you like.
– Yellow roses should be offered especially to the Ciganas since they attract lovers and extramarital relationships.
– Jasmine flowers are offered to Praia because they are the most self-sacrificing.
– Daisies are used to hide feelings and can also be offered to any of them.
– Violets can be offered to any Pomba Gira from Kalunga since they represent solitude.
– Gladioli are for Pomba Gira das Encruzilhadas, they represent burning desires and fidelity in love.
– Don't forget that carnations are always for Eshu since they represent impulsivity, attraction and hidden loves.
Everyone knows more or less who Pomba Gira is: a female Eshu who has the strength and power of seduction in all her weapons. She is charming, suggestive, striking, attractive, and interesting and a sorceress.
As in the case of Eshu, Pomba Gira also gets paid for all the works. However, she is different in the sense that you must not make her angry because then, she becomes very fierce and there has never been an angry woman worse than her.
Her anger has no limits and she will do whatever she can to dismantle your life, she will never get tired of hurting you for nothing. She enjoys doing it. Therefore, you must have a very clear idea that if you are going to ask her for help, you must not leave her in the lurch, speak badly about her, or stop caring for her, or you will taste her anger.
You can ask Pomba Gira anything that is related to love, sex, passions, etc.
This is the world she dominates, feelings are her field. She will help you get what you need even if it means doing harm to another person for free, she does not care: if you do not respect the other person, she does not either. She will not judge you because she does not care: she also always gets everything she wants.
You can ask for a true and stable love to any Pomba Gira Da Praia. They are sweeter and more traditional: for them not everything is worth in love.
Pomba Gira always moves at will and although she is Eshu's wife, she does not keep stable principles with him or with anyone else.
If Pomba Gira helps you, it's because she feels like it, it is not because you ask for it, it depends on her mood in that day.
Attraction is her strongest point and sensuality her intelligence: with these two weapons she can move the whole world and deceive anybody. She is an accomplished actress and does not believe in feelings but in passions, she moves by instinct and before being hurt, she hurts you first.
She does not understand apologies or forgiveness: if you have failed, you have failed. There are no second chances. She does not like the weak, she is the goddess and enables love and she would do anything to achieve it.
Love and sex are connected with her: love and sweetness belong to Pomba Giras of Praia, fun and easy money to Ciganas and problems of moorings to Kalunga.
Just as she helps you to get a love, she cleanses you of any mooring that has been made to you or the person you care about. Anger and revenge from Kalunga’s Pomba Giras are immense and their effectiveness is very fast. You cannot tell them what to do, you must let yourself go in their hands and entrust yourself to them to come to fruition.
Chapter 4 – quimbanda
To talk about Quimbanda does not mean to talk about black magic, as to talk about Umbanda does not mean to talk about white magic: such things do not exist. Both Quimbanda and Umbanda have their own lines and rules.
Quimbanda is a religion within the Afro-Brazilian cult and has the following influences and syncretism: Bantu, Indigenous, Catholic, Nagô or Menina, modern spiritualism and Oriental currents.
We must bear in mind that due to the syncretism between Eshu and the devil there is a lot of misunderstanding. In addition, due to the lack of information, Quimbanda is sometimes believed to be a kind of Satanist cult.
The Eshu of Quimbanda is simply an egun, the spirit of people who belonged to the cult.
Quimbanda means sorcerer.
Quimbandas are sorcerers who during slavery, both in African Bantu and in Brazil, were known for their quimbandero works which included being in a trance, smoking cigars, drinking and being in contact with the dead.
Many of these Quimbandas resembled the things they represented and worshiped. After their death, many were considered to be the messengers of Eshu whom they had served faithfully in life. According to the Bantu and the Indigenous traditions, the spirit of the shaman or sorcerer returns to earth through the trance of some living sorcerer.
Quimbanda is not synonymous with devil, with darkness, or with witchcraft. Like in any spiritist expression, it is a way to move forward in daily life, trying to progress spiritually having people around us, i.e., our friends who with their advice and strength give us joy in times of affliction.
The magic of Quimbanda is not to do evil. The use we make of it is our fault and not the entities’ fault.
In the beginning there was only Nzambi, the owner of all secrets.
Nzambi was a great mass of energy that could explode, and it did: millions of pieces of matter became a star, a planet, etc. And from there all the elements of the universe began to separate and the universe became bigger and bigger. Then, Nzambi decided to create a being that could go through all the different spaces. Thus, focusing on a point he created Eshu. Eshu was made both man and woman at the same time and was given 7 powers (hence the origin of number 7 in him for everything):
– To have the key that opens the boundaries between one space and another, between light and dark, between hot and cold.
– To be free to choose between the good and the bad.
– To have knowledge of everything and memory of all things from birth, as well as the ability to enrich his wisdom following his own experiences.
– To be able to create beings by precipitating his own energy on the matter without life.
– To travel in time.
– To understand all creatures.
– To divide and create beings similar to him but inferior in powers and faculties,
