One bar of Quimbanda Ritual Black Soap - If you are not able to get the Quimbanda Ritual Black Soap then you can use traditional African Black Soap known as “Dudu-Osun”. These soaps are available from most African general stores and companies that sell occult supplies.
Quimbanda Baptism Beads - Not all correctional institutions allow inmates to possess and wear religious necklaces such as rosaries, but if you are able to get permission then order at set from the American Candomble Church. If you are able to make the religious beads yourself then you should use the following bead patterns and colors. The stand of beads should be made long enough to hang just below your belly button. The reason for this is simply that we believe that the belly button is a sacred place on our bodies that is the doorway to the realm of Heaven because we were connected for 9 months by the umblical cord to our mother’s lifeline which gave us life. The umblical cord represents how our soul traveled from Heaven to Earth and took root within our physical body. The sacred beads represent protection of our soul which resides within our physical bodies against negative spiritual energy. If you are not able to wear or posses religious beads then you can still do the ritual without them. The ritual beads will follow a repeated color pattern of seven red beads, seven black beads and seven white or clear colored beads.
Before doing the actual dedication ceremony, the individual must prepare three days before by fasting. Fasting for the purpose of this book means limited food portions at each meal to cleanse the body, mind and soul.
The individual will also meditate on the mysteries of the Quimbanda Trinity and a genuine spiritual self reflection about the importance of the spiritual commitment which you will be entering into with the spiritual world of the Quimbanda deities and spirits.

If you are able to or wish to, you can also make an altar dedicated to the Quimbanda Trinity by the using the instructions that I have provided in this book.
After three days of spiritual fasting then do the following ritual. This ritual can be started at any given hour before you take your daily shower. The ritual can also be done the day before and then the bath taken the following day.
PROCEDURE:
Draw the spirit signature which represents the Quimbanda Cross on the floor using white chalk. If your not able to have chalk then use a large piece of paper with the spirit signature on it. The spirit signature can also be made and drawn on top of a square piece of cloth using a red or black marker. By doing this method, the cloth is made into a permaneant ritual mat that can be used for future baptism initiation rituals.
The spirit signature which represents the Quimbanda Cross should be large enough for the new initiate to stand in during the ritual ceremony.
