Let\u2019s give a round of applause to Destiny Books (an imprint of Inner Traditions<\/a>) for shepherding Diego De Ox\u00f3ssi\u2019s book, \u201cTraditional Brazilian Black Magic: The Secrets of the Kimbanda Magicians\u201d to the American marketplace. I obviously don\u2019t know every book that has ever been published, but it seems like Africa meets Brazil isn\u2019t too prevalent. <\/p>\n

$\"\"$ De Ox\u00f3ssi offers a history of Kimbanda that starts in the 17th century with the arrival of African slaves that were brought to Brazil up to modern times. Already having minimal knowledge of African magical practices and none of Brazil\u2019s, Kimbanda was a fascinating first look at the spiritual and magical practices. Kimbanda encourages working with deities and embracing the dualistic nature of life. Light and dark, virtue and vice, male and female, etc. It is a rich tradition featuring seven realms with nine dominions, each with their own entities that reside within them and govern them. What I found of particular interest is that there is a branch of Kimbanda that is a synthesis of Western high magic and Luciferian traditions. This came about from the association of Goetian daemons with Kimbanda\u2019s Eshus. It feels like a unique evolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional Brazilian Black Magic\u201d by Diego De Ox\u00f3ssi packs quite a punch in its slender 100ish pages. I picked it up expecting a quick read and instead found myself slowly reviewing each section due to the volume of information packed into each page. Not only is the book a great read if you\u2019re interested in learning about this practice, but it will make a fantastic re-read when inevitably you\u2019re pulled back in to learn more.<\/p>\n
