Queen of the Seven Crossroads (Limited Hardcover Edition) by Humberto Maggi – Quimbanda & Pombagira

Quimbanda, Pombagira, Queen of the Seven Crossroads

 Queen of the Seven Crossroads by Humberto Maggi explores the history, mythology and magical identity of one of the most significant pombagiras within the Brazilian magico-religious tradition of Quimbanda.

Drawing upon historical developments, European and African influences, mythology and the figures who contributed to the formation of her legend, Maggi examines how the concept of the Queen of the Seven Crossroads developed within Brazilian magical culture. The work considers the different ideas and traditions that shaped her identity and examines her position as an elevated spirit within Quimbanda.

Rather than treating the Queen of the Seven Crossroads solely as a folkloric figure, Maggi provides a conceptual framework for understanding her role and significance. The book will appeal to practitioners seeking a deeper foundation for their work with this powerful pombagira, as well as readers interested in the development of Quimbanda and the complex interaction of European and African magical traditions in Brazil.

For collectors of contemporary occult literature, this is the strictly limited hardcover edition, with only 500 copies produced. Its substantial A4 format and carefully finished binding make it a particularly striking addition to a specialist occult library.
