Magumba is an indigenous esoteric art form in Bermuda, based on sacred numerology, that descends from the Ifá tradition of the Niger River Valley Civilization of Central Africa.

It may also be understood as an amalgam of complementary occult traditions such as Vodou, Santeria and Candomble (in the West) or Alchemy, Kabbala and the I-Ching (in the East).

Adherents of these arts may be found throughout world where symbolic artefacts are used to contemplate and reconcile gnostic contradictions within the unity of the human imagination.

At the root of the Magumba school of cosmic consciousness is an aboriginal realization that the brain reduces all experiences to a simple binary logic - i.e. "good" vs "not-good" - that is now being commodified by the electronic processing culture of the digital age. By understanding the elementary characteristics of the first 16 numbers of manifestation, one can identify some 256 archetypes that are a binary road-map of the human soul - as well as the silicon chip.

Magumba represents the fusion of this electro-symptomatic cosmology to the material circumstances of the Bermuda islands which are now being reimagined as the global epicentre of the risk quantification and reinsurance industries.

Magumba arts allow secular contagion associated with statistical speculations to be mitigated through evangelical divination rather than actuarial substitution. This orientation on sacred systems, engineering and infrastructure as vehicles of popular imagination, allows Magumba arts to be elevated as a means of scientific investigation and not a religion.
