Types of mediumship and how to know if I have Pomba Gira

All people have their spiritual guides, Pomba Gira is just a lineage of entities that help the incarnate in their journey on earth, therefore, we all have Pombas Giras. However, not everyone connects to this energy.

How do I know if I have Pomba Gira?

Everyone carries at least one Pomba Gira or other lineages of entities. Some guides are of inheritance, entities that already accompanied your ancestors and that continue protecting and helping the evolution of your family. Others, approach you to help you in your personal issues.

However, only those who have a developed mediumship can perceive this approach or manifest incorporation, which is possible for anyone. Everyone has some degree of mediumship, but not everyone develops it.

Possess auditory mediumship

Auditory mediumship is described as the gift of hearing spiritual messages, it usually manifests initially as ringing or pressure in the ear, incomprehensible sounds or even whispers. It is quite common to have the sensation that someone is calling your name at times when there is no one around.

Usually people think it is something imaginary, but it is important to observe if this feeling persists and at what times it arises. A good indication is to notice that these voices become clearer in times of danger, as if someone was warning you about something that is happening near you.

Possess vision mediumship

Visual mediumship is the ability to see spiritual manifestations such as vultures, lights or having the sensation of someone approaching even though you are alone. These are usually the first indications, but more developed mediums can come to see these manifestations clearly.

This is a more difficult mediumnity to develop than the auditory one, many people feel a lot of fear when they come across the supernatural and end up blocking this perception even without realizing or wanting to. Besides, this type of mediumnity demands more time of study or work in some spiritualist center.

Possessing oneiric mediumship

Oneiric mediumship is often a form of first contact with the spiritual world. This type of mediumship consists of having predictions or making contact with some spiritual entity in a dream or semi-sleep state.

This form of mediumship is more common because, being in an unconscious or semi-conscious state, the medium presents less resistance to contact with the supernatural world. However, it is more difficult to recognize which dreams are spiritual contacts and which are only imagination

Do you have to be a medium to have a Pomba Gira?

You don't need to be a medium to carry Pomba Gira dama da Noite or any other entity. Actually, all people have their entities and most of them are Exus or Pombas Giras, since these are the entities that are closest to the material world.

However, to get in touch with your Pomba Gira you need to develop your mediumship. Most people have some degree of mediumship, but few seek to develop their gifts or receive a strong calling in this regard.

Symptoms of the person who has a Pomba Gira

Symptoms would not be the most correct word, since it is not a disease, but here we use the sense of indications or traces. There are some perceptions that can be altered by approaching this entity. It is important to observe them if you suspect that your Pomba Gira is wanting to manifest.

Sudden urge to drink or smoke

The desire to drink or smoke attributed to some entity is often an excuse that many people use in order not to take responsibility for their acts. The function of the cigarette and the drink in a gira is to be an instrument for dense energies to be transmuted into more subtle energies.

What can happen is that the person can taste the drink or smell the cigarette when this entity approaches. But, not necessarily the desire for feeding vices. Actually, these entities are against human vices.

Feel the presence of Pomba Gira

Feeling the presence of a certain entity is the main form of manifestation of spirits who want to communicate with you, protect you or call you to work spiritually. Usually this presence is felt as an aroma of flowers, cigarette and drink, or chills.

Some people even see the energy emanating from their own body or the spirit near them. But these are cases of more developed mediumship or urgency to seek spiritual help.

Feeling more sensual, secure and self-confident

Feeling sensual, secure and self-confident are perhaps the first indications that your Pomba Gira is near. This indication refers more to women, as most people who incorporate Pombas Giras are women, as it is a feminine energy, which most men are culturally taught to block from a young age.

When someone is with their Pomba Gira strengthened and close, generally their sensuality blooms, their mannerisms and way of walking become more elegant, charming, and their personality begins to exude magnetism and self-confidence.

To dream that you carry her in your lap

This is a dream that manifests itself in important moments of the life of the medium. Usually this dream happens when the person is going through some difficulty and his guide seeks to show him that is present, offering his lap, his calm and energy.

Another possibility is that the medium doubts of his mediumship and the entity decides to present himself so that he has no more doubts of his presence.

Having the revelation made by a Medium

Having your Pomba Gira revealed by a medium is one of the most common ways to discover your mediumship. When another medium alerts you to the proximity of an entity it means that your moment to develop your gifts and give way for the spirituality to work is near.

It is common for this to happen because most people block their mediumship, either through fear or beliefs, and cannot establish this communication in an explicit way. So your guides use another open channel to communicate with you and show that they are close by.

Sympathies for Pomba Gira to help with issues in your life

What are the differences between Pomba Gira Dama da Noite and Pomba Gira do Cabaré?

While Pomba Gira Dama da Noite is the name given to a phalanx of Pombas Giras, that is, a group of entities that call themselves that and work helping inexperienced mediums in their first incorporations. The Pombas Giras do Cabaré are, in fact, a quality of entities of several phalanxes.

These denominations cause a lot of confusion for those who are getting used to the religions of African matrix. But, while the phalanxes are groups of Pombas Giras that present themselves with the same name, as for example the Marias Padilha or Marias Mulambo; the quality of each Pomba Gira usually varies.

There is Pomba Gira Maria Mulambo do Cabaré, as well as Maria Padilha do Cabaré, and so many other phalanxes that work energies in the same way that the Pombas Giras do Cabaré work. However, the phalanx of the Ladies of the Night does not present itself under any denomination. Therefore, there is no Dama da Noite do Cabaré.
