Mandragorits Mandragon


You, dragon man of milk and blood
I see you in the shades and caverns of night
I see you in my hands and veins
You are child - dragon
And I am you - man
I walk the night
My veins hanging loose
You stretch up
To unite within & beyond earth
I hear serpent song and
I hear you
My friend and foe
My distant memory of light
That fell to earth
I take you, my child
My dragon, my master
I know your veins stretch into the flesh of earth
As my blood stretch to my heart
Whenever I see you see I see my last breath
And you are that and is
The breath itself
Stillness and stance beneath
My feet
You my dragon friend
My Dragon fiend
My whisper through the earth
My Brother
And my woman shredding her skin
To reveal the purple within
Open the roads and open the eyes
I am earth
And I am the silence whispering soothing spells
Upon my root
I am you and you are me
As we are he and we are she
They told me you were woman and you are
Beloved by Venus and Moon
But you are mine
Spine and 77 vertebras
This you are
In my transfiguration
Between mole and dirt
I clasp to your veins
And to your blood
And let myself sink in this night of nerves
Where you ride me, as he or she
And there I am – as You.
Your Wolf and your Flower
I am the rider of the dark forest
I am the scales of your body
The root of wisdom
As it paints the world in nerves and borders
I am yours – and we are here at the fig garden
At the end of the worlds
Where I hand down my sickle and
Ask night….
And there you are
I have seen you before
So many times
Brother
Daughter
Friend
Enemy
The root of Saturn himself
Searching the Lovely Lady
Making night itself your playground
And in this night I see
I am not brother, nor friend
But playground and
Garden,
& with this
The night is at peace
In
Poison…
…and Shades of
Amen!

The ‘firmeza’ of Quimbanda

Quimbanda is a cult centred on the direct and head on interaction with spirit, hence developing mediumistic skills and capability in spirit trafficking is integral and vital to working Quimbanda. Possession is a phenomenon that intrigues and also scares. After all we have all seen movies like The Exorcist and other horror thrillers giving visual spectacles to how hostile spirits can take over the human body, mind and soul in intrusive and fatal ways. But possessions do find a counterpart in the shamanic rapture as much as in the prophet whose soul is filled with angelic light that makes him or her prophetic. Possession is not only about the full given over of your material vessel to a spirit that in turn uses the faculties of the medium to engage various forms of work. Inspiration, dream and to be ‘under the influence’ are potentially valid and worthy avenues for connecting with spirit. Yet another avenue for good spirit trafficking is the communion, or what Jake Stratton-Kent ca

A Quimbanda FAQ

In this article I will try to answer some questions concerning Quimbanda that surfaces with frequency. Questions concerning how to work this cult solitary and somehow dislocated from the cultural climate of understanding here in Brazil are frequently asked as are questions concerning the magical tools, such as guias, patuás and statues, available to the general public. I want to be initiated in Quimbanda, how do I proceed with that? When we speak of initiation in the perspective of Quimbanda we are speaking of a true and intense merging with spirit that involves a pact/agreement, a spirit vessel (assentamento), ordeal and oath. There are elements used in this process that are common to every house/terreiro/cabula/lineage of Quimbanda that reveals a common origin. There are different varieties of Quimbanda in Brazil, and the expression of the common root, will always depend of the constellation of spirits we find in the tronco. In other words, a ‘Casa de Exu’ that is dominated

Luxuria: The Seven Sins - part II of VII

"But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." - James 1: 14 - 15 -      Luxuria , or better known as lust is by John Cassian understood to be the very womb of sin and death in accordance with James 1. Whereas pride/hubris is the seed of sin, lust is the womb of the sinful seed. Today the word ‘lust’ carry an overtly sexual and hedonist flavor and in truth one of the predecessors of ‘luxuria’ is found in the activity related to porneia or prostitution, but more than this, luxuria is a thymus , an appetite. Perhaps the most proper idea that still carries on the inherent idea of ‘luxuria’ is actually luxury – in other words, an excess. In Antiquity as in galenic medicine all disease was caused by excess of something, in the cause of ‘luxuria’, we are speaking of an excess of pleasing oneself. This self pleasing is of a nature tha
