The World of Eshú and Pomba Gira - страница 5



He likes doing good by healing, removing personal black magic works, undoing works or stopping spells. When a negative entity is removed from someone, quiumbas are in charge of taking it to the right place in the astral.

He is a vigilant light entity for all emaciated souls to evolve.

Everyone calls him the astral watchman, a policeman who controls every soul in its right location according to its purification or spiritual elevation.

He controls the Earth’s incarnations, he keeps the incarnations of the spirits of low evolution at bay so that they do not contact us.

As well as attending our calls and requests, he takes the souls of dead people to the place where they belong, he must maintain the order that God has created.

He puts all the temptations within your reach for you to decide what to do with them: you can choose the path for your spiritual ascent. He does not make you be bad, but if you decide to be bad, he can help you. Be careful, he claims for everything and the price for things that are not fair is very high.

We make offerings and we give him light with the candles we use when we ask him for help to solve the problems that bother us. If a person sends us something with bad intentions, he will undo it provided he is well cared for.

He has all the power over doors, crossroads, roads, etc., and with anything that is related with an advance or a step.

Chapter 3 – pomba gira

To talk about Pomba Gira is to continue talking about Eshu, she is a female Eshu. The origin of her name is Bantu de bombogiro. The current name in Quimbanda is Pomba, which means pigeon, and Gira, something that spins. This is a very accurate definition since she is never in the same place, but always returns to the same places, she is restless as a dove and moves very fast. She is Eshu´s perfect companion, she is always represented as a very sensual, attractive woman who gives and provides pleasure. Pomba Gira knows all the secrets of love and enjoys using this knowledge.

She is the protector of free women. Women have the full right to choose and seduce the male they choose and Pomba Giras show this by choosing the Eshu they prefer: they have full freedom to move through all fields.

Pomba Gira is another energy that works to provide happiness for those who ask for it, but from a feminine point of view. She will listen to you sooner than Eshu will, but she will also take revenge sooner if you make her angry, since she will behave like a true woman.

Her favourite drink is champagne, but she will accept any sweet drink you find, especially, strawberry-flavoured drinks since it is an aroma Pomba Gira loves.

Cigarettes must be fine and better if they are blond and menthol flavoured tobacco.



Her favourite foods are always expensive foods. She is very capricious but she can afford it, because what people ask her well deserves this sacrifice in offerings.

You can also offer her the same food as Eshu, but she will never drink in china like him but in glass.

She is usually found at crossroads.

She eats raw eggs without breaking them with some dendé over them.

Dendé and honey flour is what she likes the most.

Pomba Gira´s purpose is love, pleasure and sexual freedom. She will make possible impossible connections.

She is mainly invoked for night business and this is where she is most worshipped. With just one red rose and a glass of the best champagne your business will prosper and you will earn much more money.
