The following Afro-Brazilian Grimoire of Ceremonial High Magick of the Quimbanda Goetia celebrates the celestial "72 Astral Spirit Mysteries" of the Holy Divine Angel, Exu Maioral. In the magickal practice of the Quimbanda Goetia, the Holy Divine Angel, Exu Maioral is syncretized as the Holy Angel Baphomet and the Gnostic Occult Mysteries of Saint Cipriano. This ceremonial magick book was written by Marcelo Ramalho Gomes of Sao Paulo, Brazil and Carlos Antonio De Bourbon Galdiano Montenegro of Los Angeles, California. This very unique Grimoire of the Quimbanda Goetia represents a very powerful and eclectic magickal philosophy which is a precise Esoteric Gnostic blending of Western Magick, the Afro-Brazilian Kimbanda religious tradition of Brazil and the American Quimbanda, Gnostic Orthodox Rite religious tradition of the United States of America."
This volume explains how a multi-faith community in Brazil uses music both to combine and segregate three Afro-Brazilian religions: Batuque, Umbanda, and Quimbanda. It is a book-length study in English about music in Afro-Brazilian religions, which have synthesized African religions, folk Catholicism, Amerindian traditions, and in some cases European Spiritism.
SEA EL SANTISIMO sets out to be an alternative, English language primer for the practice of Espiritismo and Mediumship Development. While there are many different types of spiritual religions in the modern world today, Espiritismo (Caribbean Spiritism) is a widely known spiritist practice of Caribbean cultures. This manual provides detailed information based on the principals that an Espiritista would live by, a 'how to' guide on performing Misa Espiritual, information on setting up and work a 'boveda' and how to do novenas to the saints and spirits. Also included are the celebrations for the Day of the Dead, songs for Misa Espiritual and prayers for La Madama, El Congo and many Saints.
Holy Harlots examines the intersections of social marginality, morality, and magic in contemporary Brazil by analyzing the beliefs and religious practices related to the Afro-Brazilian spirit entity Pomba Gira. Said to be the disembodied spirit of an unruly harlot, Pomba Gira is a controversial figure in Brazil. Devotees maintain that Pomba Gira possesses an intimate knowledge of human affairs and the mystical power to intervene in the human world. Others view this entity more ambivalently. Kelly E. Hayes provides an intimate and engaging account of the intricate relationship between Pomba Gira and one of her devotees, Nazaré da Silva. Combining Nazaré’s spiritual biography with analysis of the gender politics and violence that shapes life on the periphery of Rio de Janeiro, Hayes highlights Pomba Gira’s role in the rivalries, relationships, and struggles of everyday life in urban Brazil. The accompanying film Slaves of the Saints may be viewed online at ucpress.edu/go/holyharlots.
The mythological, folkloric, and religious beliefs of Western culture have resulted in a long and ongoing history of esoteric themes in theatre from the Middle Ages to the present in Spain and the America. Now Robert Lima, a noted comparatist, brings to bear on this material his wide knowledge of the world of the occult. Lima defines the terms "occult" and "occultism" broadly to embrace the many ways in which humans have sought to fathom a secret knowledge held to be accessible only through such supernatural agencies as alchemy, angelology, asceticism, astrology, demonolatry, divination, ecstasy, magic, necromancy, possession, Santeria, séances, voudoun, and witchcraft. The dramatic works covered range from medieval materializations of Hell to the Golden Age plays of Lope de vega, Tirso de Molina, and Calderón de la Barca, to modern stage works by Valle-Inclán, García Lorca, Casona, Miras, and a number of significant Afro-Brazilian and Caribbean dramatists. The concluding comprehensive bibliography of the drama of the occult is invaluable.
This book aims to reflect on how to translate “queer” in the context of Latin America. Queer theory is becoming consolidated on an international scale as an effort to understand dissident bodies and their inventions. But how can we utilize such a rich body of literature and proposals without merely applying in the Global South what has been formulated in the Global North? Through meetings between dissident bodies in the Global South, the book suggests that the theoretical-poetic inventions formulated in this part of the world cannot be forgotten and proposes a discussion on how to approach queer theory from a decolonial point of view. There is still only a scant body of literature that systematizes and approaches these questions from a Latin American point of view; or, to use the term that gives this book its name, the “tropics.” The book points out the necessity of staying aware of the connections between western modernity and colonial practices. The book therefore invites us to pass through borders, to question limits, and to allow ourselves to be affected by Others, a fundamental exercise in the context of social inequality as drastic as that in which the majority of the population live in Latin America and in the Global South in general. Theories, like bodies, travel; in being translated, they transform themselves. The movements and the bending of bodies and theories are disturbing and subversive. Queer in the Tropics arises from these translations, from this bending, and from these subversions.
