ROOTS AND ROADS: A History and Practice of Quimbanda Quimbanda is not a religion of temples. It is not built on dogma, hierarchy, or hollow ritual. It is a path of fire walked in secret. It is a living pact between spirits and those who dare to serve them. Roots and Roads is a groundbreaking book on the real history and living practice of Quimbanda - a fierce, complex, and deeply misunderstood Afro-Brazilian spiritual tradition. Born from the Bantu world and shaped in the streets, cemeteries, and crossroads of Brazil, Quimbanda is a practice of power, liberation, justice, and devotion. It moves in rhythm with the spirits who remember everything. This is not a book of fantasy or invention. It is rooted in truth and research. Drawing from the Angola nations of Candomblé, from oral memory, from ritual experience, and from two decades of working with Exu and Pomba Gira, Roots and Roads brings clarity to a path often distorted by outsiders and misunderstood even by those within. Inside you will find: ¿ The historical foundations of Quimbanda and its connections to Africa ¿ The rise of spirit cults and the resistance to colonial religion ¿ The difference between Quimbanda, Umbanda, and Candomblé Angola ¿ The structure of the spirit world: Exus, Pomba Giras, Kiumbas, Mukixi ¿ The Seven Kingdoms and their spirits ¿ The meaning of the pact, possession, offering, and fire ¿ The real role of the Tata Quimbanda, and of the Quimbandeiro ¿ How the tradition survives in diaspora, secrecy, and street ritual This book does not offer fantasy. It offers reality. It does not teach how to pretend. It shows what it means to serve. It speaks to those who feel the pull of the spirits, who want to walk this path with respect, with rhythm, and with roots. Because Quimbanda is not what you say. Quimbanda is what you do.
