UK occult publishing house Hadean Press announced an upcoming new release:
“Pre-orders are now open for the hardcover edition of Seven Crossroads of Night: Quimbanda in Theory and Practice by Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold. This is the highly anticipated book in which Frisvold presents a blueprint for the themes that generate the variety of ways Quimbanda can be approached. EU customers please visit our EU site to order.
“The sewn bound hardcover edition is printed on 90gsm Munken Premium white paper, with printed Spanish marbled endpapers and covered in Windsor Bishop black cloth, red gloss foiling on cover and spine and black head and tail bands. The image shown here is the paperback edition. We expect the hardcover edition to begin shipping at the end of May.
“Quimbanda is a Brazilian cult of sorcery that has been preserved in different modalities – either as a secret cult, a necromantic cult, or as an open, religious tradition. Formed of indigenous, African, and European streams of wisdom and sorcery, this unique cult of Exu and Pomba Gira is safeguarded by these amazing entities in diverse ways across Brazil. Remaining strong in their own power, these unique entities represent the mystery of the crossroad, the voice of the graveyard, and the force of life that generates endurance, direction, and honour through the lessons given from life itself and the ancestors.
“Though Quimbanda has flourished in the world during the last decade, with the flow and spread of the cult of Exu and Pomba Gira comes questions, misinformation, and confusion along with the fertile ground for its growth. In such a landscape it is good to have waymarks to follow and a map which reveals the lay of the land in the world of these powerful spirits. Frisvold, a resident of Brazil since 2003 who has dedicated the last three decades in study and initiation of cults of sorcery, wisdom, and cunning craft guides us though the intricacies of Quimbanda, offering a simple and effective guide to work with Exu and Pomba Gira.
“This title has a perfect complement in Humberto Maggi’s Queen of the Seven Crossroads, which is still available in sewn hardback and paperback from Hadean Press.”
