In the stillness of the graveyard, something ancient stirs. Beneath the silence lies a current of presence, of memory, of power. The Midnight Necromancer is a guide for those who feel the call of the dead, not as something to fear, but as a path to walk with devotion, reverence, and fire. Rooted in the sacred traditions of Quimbanda and Afro-Brazilian spirit-work, this book is a deep and practical initiation into cemetery magic. It teaches how to collect graveyard dirt, build spirit altars, commune with Exu and Pomba Gira, and walk between the worlds with clarity, care, and courage. With over a dozen richly written chapters, it reveals the ethics, rituals, tools, and truths of working with the dead, not as symbols, but as companions. This is not a book of fantasy or fear. It is a book of presence. Of truth. Of the fire that burns in silence. For those who walk the midnight road, who light candles in the dark, who remember the names others have forgotten, The Midnight Necromancer is your guide, your mirror, your companion on the path of cemetery witchcraft.

SARAVA UMBANDA is a groundbreaking and deeply personal journey into one of Brazil's most powerful and often misunderstood spiritual traditions. Rooted in Bantu cosmology, enriched by Indigenous wisdom, shaped by Catholic devotion and Kardecist Spiritism, and animated by the living voices of spirit, Umbanda offers a path of healing, service, and transformation unlike any other. Written by a trained spiritualist medium and long-time practitioner, this book brings together over twenty years of lived experience, spiritual insight, and ritual knowledge. It honours the Orix s, celebrates the guiding spirits, and opens the doors of the terreiro to readers around the world. The book explores the rich cosmology of Umbanda, the unique qualities of each major Orix , and the personalities of their spiritual children. It offers detailed profiles of the working spirits, Caboclos, Pretos Velhos, Exus, Pombas Giras, Ciganos, Malandros, and more, while providing rituals, prayers, points, and powerful spiritual practices to help readers develop their own connection with the sacred. Far more than a theoretical overview, this is a hands-on manual of devotion and service. It includes guidance on building your altar, developing mediumship, preparing spiritual baths, offering meaningful works to the spirits, and understanding the ritual life of a terreiro. It also explores the difference between Umbanda and other African diasporic traditions such as Santer a and Vodou, while offering a vision for the future of Umbanda as a humble but powerful spiritual path with global resonance. Whether you are new to the tradition or walking the path already, this book is both companion and teacher. Grounded in respect and spiritual integrity, shaped by ritual experience, and guided by the spirits themselves, SARAVA UMBANDA is an invitation to step into the sacred current, and let it transform you from the inside out.
