Origin and history of Pomba Gira Maria Quiteria

Maria Quiteria's story begins in the middle of the 19th century in the city of Lisbon, Portugal, when she was born into a financially well-off family. There was a big celebration in the family after her birth, as her mother, who was a young Portuguese woman, had been trying to have a child for years with her husband, who was a Brazilian military officer, but had not yet succeeded.

Birth

Just as hopes were running out, Maria's mother became pregnant, which was a source of great happiness for everyone, especially the woman, as it was her lifelong dream to have a child. The little newborn, who was not very fair-skinned, was given the name Maria, following family tradition, with the compound Quitéria, because her mother was devout and grateful to Saint Quitéria.

Family tragedy

After seven years, Maria was very bright and communicative, which helped her make many friends in her area. At the same time, the king of Portugal established a law in which all land, including productive land, would become the property of the government.

In other words, the rural workers lost their homes and had nothing to eat, which led to major revolutions and invasions throughout the region. In some invasions, perverse people infiltrated the workers to create confusion and take advantage of the moment.

In the midst of these disturbances, some people robbed the homes of the town's residents, acting cowardly and murdering innocent people. Maria Quitéria's house was also targeted by the killers, who reached her parents. The girl was saved by the housekeeper, who had noticed what was happening.

The two fled through the back of the house unnoticed, finding a place between two trees to hide. While they waited for the killers to leave, they stole everything in the house and assaulted Maria Quitéria's parents and the servants.

New life with the Roma

The brutal violence had not stopped, the bandits used their daggers to murder everyone in the house and set it on fire. Little Maria Quitéria cried as she watched her home and its residents, some of whom were still alive, burn to the ground.

After the killers left the scene, the servant accompanied the girl to a gypsy camp, explained what had happened and begged for help, asking them to take care of the child. Being a welcoming and charitable people, the gypsies took Maria Quitéria in as if she were one of their own.

For ten years, the girl traveled through every town in her country, until the king imposed persecution on the gypsies, forcing the group in which Maria Quitéria was a member to leave for Brazil in search of safety.

Loneliness and death

As time went by, Maria acquired new experiences and knowledge, such as self-defense and gypsy magic, until one day the head of the clan decided to return to Portugal. The young and beautiful Maria decided to stay in Brazil, and the members of the group respected her decision.

Maria Quitéria became a solitary nomad, wandering around different regions, meeting new people and places and looking for a place to spend the night. Among these people, there were prostitutes, farmers, kind and mean people, some of whom sought words of help, comfort and charity.

After several years wandering around the country and bringing help and hope to people, Maria Quitéria disincarnated at the age of thirty, stabbed in the heart by the man she almost murdered to save a young prostitute who was being persecuted.

When she disincarnated, she realized that there were some obsessive spirits around her who wanted to take her into darkness because of her strength, but she was saved and rescued by a legion of seven Exus, received Oxalá's blessing and became an entity of light.
