Description: Maktub es el compañero ideal del clásico El Alquimista, un libro atemporal que invita a la reflexión y el autodescubrimiento. Paulo Coelho, uno de los grandes escritores de nuestra era, continúa su profundo viajehacia los misterios de la condición humana a través de esta inspiradora colección de historias.En palabras del propio autor: « Maktub no es un libro de consejos, sino un intercambio de experiencias». Maktub compila algunos de los textos publicados por el autor en su columna diaria del mismo nombre, que significa « está escrito». Cada uno de estossabios relatos —que ofrecen la perspectiva de serpientes parlantes, ancianas que escalan montañas, discípulos que interrogan a sus maestros, ermitaños enigmáticos y santos que abordan los secretos del mundo— nos permite ver la vida de nuevas maneras, y nos ilumina en nuestro camino para alcanzar algunas de las más profundas verdades universales. Un hombre que sólo busca la Luz, y deja sus responsabilidades a los demás, acaba por no encontrar la iluminación. Un hombre que mantiene sus ojos fijos en el sol acaba por quedarse ciego. - Paulo Coelho

Description: Alexândre Cumino, bacharel em Ciências da Religião, sacerdote de Umbanda, médium, dirigente espiritual de uma comunidade umbandista há mais de duas décadas e discípulo do Mestre Rubens Saraceni, descobriu que "não sabia que não sabia" muita coisa sobre a mulher, a sociedade e a Pombagira. Para receber os primeiros textos deste livro, a Pombagira exigiu dele uma nova consciência. Assim que iniciou a escrita, ao se encantar com o próprio texto inspirado ela lhe disse: "Quer saber mais? Quer conversar comigo? Então estude o Feminismo Negro". Desta forma, o livro Pombagira, A Deusa – Mulher Igual Você traz uma nova consciência sobre Sagrado Feminino na Umbanda e outras verdades que questionam nossos valores patriarcais, machistas, sexistas, racistas, colonialistas e inconvenientes para quem está em sua zona de conforto privilegiada. Pombagira vem para abalar velhas estruturas de paradigmas preconceituosos, sectários, de tradições exclusivistas dominantes do mundo contemporâneo. Transgressora, provocadora e consciente, Ela nos chama para uma nova consciência.
