What the Exu and Pombagira quiz asks

The questions come from the quimbanda articles on the blog: the trident and the ponto riscado, the tronqueira to the left of the entrance, the Calunga Grande and the Calunga Pequena, the open red rose of the Pombagira, and the way of ritual work of lineages like Veludo, Lodo, and Rosa Caveira.

In quimbanda, almost everything changes from house to house: the color, the day, the realm, and the orixá of each Exu. Therefore, the quiz leaves these questions out and focuses only on what the sources record in common. If something does not match your terreiro, follow the foundation of your house.

After playing, find out which guardian you have an affinity with in the What is your Exu or Pombagira, or debunk the most common prejudices in the Myth or truth.

Frequently asked questions

No. Exu is the messenger and the guardian of the paths. The idea of the devil was attached to him by those who viewed Afro-Brazilian religions from the outside, and even the black candle, which serves to absorb and cleanse, suffered from this prejudice.
