Do any of you know of someone who is initiated in the Quimbanda who also creates statues and imbues the essence of the Pomba Gira spirit in it? Someone reputable?
Wolf and Goat aren’t reputable. I ordered a reading from them for around $120 before I met my padrino and they never so much as got back to me. I messaged Jesse on facebook, emailed him, and tried to reach him through the Wolf and Goat email and never heard back. My godfather also told me that Jesse isn’t the most morally reputable Tata but I won’t share what he said on the forum.
Nicholaj Frisvold, among others, is the real deal and he’s offering some statues on his website.
In the book “Exu” by Denise Alvarado there are these vendors. Maybe one of them will help you

That’s a difficult one. True Quimbanda is rare nowadays even in Brazil. Most do Macumba and say it’s Quimbanda or try to tell you it’s the same thing. But without knowing who your personal Exu and Pomba Gira are or knowing how to work a Quimbanda altar or awaken the ensouled fetishes, why would you need them so badly? What makes you feel that Quimbanda is something you are called to? Do you have a solid understanding of what it is and what you are asking for?
Welcome @FourCornersCoyote It is a rule of this forum for all new members to properly introduce themselves, so PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW and tell us about yourself and any experience you may have in maigck, such as what you practice, how long you have practiced, areas of interest, etc:
Let’s just say I’m going to cut a long story short here. One of the Pomba Giras demanded a working relationship with me. I agreed. The Ghede did the same on another occasion. One of my closest ancestors said, “To tell the truth, they were interested in you.”
Do not ask me why. The spirits’ demands are sometimes a mystery to me.
And yes, I do have certain goals in mind. No, I know very little about them at this point, including their names. The Pomba Gira did teach me how to set a basic altar for them, but more recently, the one working with me has demanded a statue, and showed me basically what it looks like.
Unfortunately, there are many problems with this forum having reviews & recommendations of magickal service providers (outside BALG) in the public section, to name a few:
due to our rules on advertising, merchants may not join to reply if they feel they have been unfairly criticised, and due to sometimes unrealistic expectations by buyers, that is a strong likelihood if reviews are invited from all and sundry
this is a forum for BALG, a business, and hosting reviews of other businesses in the same area is just a tangle of potential misunderstandings about why they would allow this (especially highly critical reviews), or, conversely, whether they are behind praise given, to the extent of accrediting it (seems unlikely but trust me, people’s comprehension isn’t always where we might hope it would be)
there are already established sites that allow reviews of magickal goods and services, and that means people are able to share their opinions on neutral territory
it opens a temptation to merchants, especially the less honest, to set up shill accounts and fake satisfaction with their own services, increasing moderation workload and risking throwing the forum into disputes over what is or is not advertising.
For that reason, I’ve closed & Unlisted this topic, and suggest running searches on the internet and seeking reviews on sites and forums that permit this.
