    Do let us know when your autobiography is published. I can't wait to read it.

    (But, as I have a violent prejudice against Occidental magical orders and groups which are, generally, infantile excuses to hug the dolent egos of their puny leaders, I have not joined one yet.)

    They are not all that way.

      😕 I didn't mean to bother you at all. Do forgive me."

      That was not my intention at all! I was serious. You seem to be having a colorful life. (Maybe I should stop posting here. I don't seem to make myself understood very well.)

        "During a mission in Guiana, the chance encounter of a very old Brazilian Kwimbandero changed my life. As soon as I was free, I went to live with him in Amazonia.
        I spent a little more than 3 years among Kwimbanda sorcerers, as a pupil, alternately in underground temples in the jungle, and in urban candombles"

        Are those the 'shaman' of Brazil ? I would like to meet a few one day 😄

          "The Kwimbanda current is, roughly, to the other one (Umbanda), what the Dyonisian current was to the traditional Olympian religion in Ancient Greece, or what Tantrism is to Brahmanism in India - but I don't know if I'm very clear 😄"

          My understanding is that Kwimbanda basically hasn't incorporated the body of Christianity the way Umbanda has, and is closer to an earlier African paganism - might that be correct?

          Umbanda always struck me as being a great deal like Santeria/Candomble but perhaps more closely bound to local Christianity (whereas Santeria tends to be so mostly in images and accouterments).

            Ah, my understanding is that
            Umbanda=Santeria=Voudon Radha school
            Candomble=Lucumi, no precise Haitian equivalent
            Quimbanda=no precise Cuban equivalent = Voudon Petro school

            Umbanda and Santeria and Radha school Voudon include Christian saints, Candomble and Lucumi don't, Quimbanda and Petro are the "darker side".
