Exu is the fusion of Umbanda, Angolan sorcery, European demonology, shamanism and spiritism, which erupts into a uniquely Brazilian cult of practical magical action ded- icated to the diabolical opposer.

In Exu the Quimbanda of Night and Fire Nicholaj de Mattos Frisvold, an initi- ate of the cult, gives explicit workings for good and ill, a herbarium and details of offerings, powders and baths, songs and seals. It is the most comprehensive study to date.

The origin of Exu is explored from the iconic Baphomet of Eliphas Lévi and the influence of St. Cyprian, the patron saint of Necromancers, through a gnostic un- derstanding of the crucifixion and back to the traditional African religions.

This is the companion to his Pomba Gira and the Quimbanda of Mbumba Nzila, and together they form a complete guide to the sorcerous tradition of the Devil and his mistress.
