Book Synopsis Orixás na umbanda by : Janaina Azevedo
Download or read book Orixás na umbanda written by Janaina Azevedo and published by Universo dos Livros Editora. This book was released on 2010 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Umbanda, por primazia, é uma religião sincrética que assimilou valores, personagens, divindades e conceitos do espiritismo kardecista, do catolicismo popular e de algumas religiões africanas, sem contar a influência de outras religiões menores e cultos de diversas origens. Nenhum Deus foi criado histórica, metafísica ou espiritualmente com o advento da Umbanda. O que já existia foi renovado e sintetizado no sentido de desenvolver uma nova religião. O livro trata sobre as origens da Umbanda na África e como seu culto chegou ao Brasil. Esclarece por que foram escolhidos em específico os Orixás do panteão Iorubano e não, por exemplo, do panteão dividido entre as diversas nações jejê, anagô, bantu ou fon. Ensina, também, sobre os sete Orixás mais cultuados na Umbanda, em especial na Umbanda tradicional, explorando possíveis motivos para isto. Mostra quais são os pratos preferidos dos Orixás e como prepará-los. A obra ainda traz uma série de figuras que demonstram o assentamento de alguns Orixás e como devem ser dispostos pelo templo de maneira a garantir uma energização equilibrada e segura.
Book Synopsis O Espiritismo, a magia e as Sete Linhas de Umbanda by : Leal de Souza
Download or read book O Espiritismo, a magia e as Sete Linhas de Umbanda written by Leal de Souza and published by Fundamentos de Axé. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trata-se de um livro histórico, considerado como o primeiro livro publicado a ter como tema as Sete Linhas de Umbanda e Demanda – suas rotinas, fundamentos e doutrina. Esse livro foi criado a partir da compilação dos artigos publicados por Leal de Souza, entre os anos de 1932 e 1933, no Diário de Notícias da então capital federal, o Rio de Janeiro. Além daqueles que estavam na primeira edição de seu livro, conseguimos resgatar outros 20 artigos, ainda inéditos, do autor. De terça a domingo, na primeira página do caderno de reportagens, Leal de Souza mostrava, com toda a clareza, os meandros de uma religião que acabara de nascer e que sofria grande repressão, inclusive, policial. Com suas palavras, buscava destruir o preconceito por meio da informação e a intolerância religiosa que perseguia seus irmãos. Temas e tabus, como despachos, orixás, vidência, obsessão e muitos outros são tratados com a desenvoltura de quem informa, com visão privilegiada, sem impor sua opinião. Esta nova edição contará com os seguintes paratextuais: - Prefácio de Nikolas Peripolli (médium umbandistas criador do projeto Umbandas e dirigente espiritual da Casa das Almas Santas e Benditas, além de ser palestrante e ministrar diversos cursos na área) - Posfácio de Diamantino Fernandes Trindade (Sacerdote do Templo Cristão Umbanda do Brasil e Ministro religioso da Casa de Cultura Umbanda do Brasil e autor com diversos livros publicados) - Texto de Leonardo Cunha (bisneto de Zélio Fernandino de Moraes e atual dirigente da Tenda Espírita Nossa Senhora da Piedade) - Texto de Maurício Ribeiro (doutor em comunicação e semiótica – PUC-SP – e pós-doutorando na ECO-UFRJ sobre a "construção do imaginário midiático da Umbanda") - Texto e pesquisa de Nathália Fernandes (historiadora, professora e mestre em História Social pela UFF – estudiosa sobre "Repressão policial às religiões de matriz afro-brasileira no período do Estado")

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark work of ethnography explores the enduring, global worship of the African god of war—with five new essays in this new, expanded edition. Ogun—the ancient African god of iron, war, and hunting—is worshiped by more than forty million adherents in Western Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. This rich, interdisciplinary collection draws on field research from several continents to reveal Ogun’s dramatic power and enduring appeal. Contributors examine the history and spread of Ogun throughout old and new worlds; the meaning of Ogun ritual, myth, and art; and the transformations of Ogun through the deity’s various manifestations. This edition includes five new essays focusing mainly on Ogun worship in the new world. “[A]n ethnographically rich contribution to the historical understanding of West African culture, as well as an exploration of the continued vitality of that culture in the changing environments of the Americas.” —African Studies Review
Book Synopsis Looking for God in Brazil by : John Burdick
Download or read book Looking for God in Brazil written by John Burdick and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993-12-28 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a generation, the Catholic Church in Brazil has enjoyed international renown as one of the most progressive social forces in Latin America. The Church's creation of Christian Base Communities (CEBs), groups of Catholics who learn to read the Bible as a call for social justice, has been widely hailed. Still, in recent years it has become increasingly clear that the CEBs are lagging far behind the explosive growth of Brazil's two other major national religious movements—Pentacostalism and Afro-Brazilian Umbanda. On the basis of his extensive fieldwork in Rio di Janeiro, including detailed life histories of women, blacks, youths, and the marginal poor, John Burdick offers the first in-depth explanation of why the radical Catholic Church is losing, and Pentecostalism and Umbanda winning, the battle for souls in urban Brazil.
Book Synopsis Spirit Possession and Spirit Mediumship in Africa and Afro-America by : Irving I. Zaretsky

This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978 Spirit Possession and Spirit Mediumship in Africa and Afro-America is an incredibly diverse and comprehensive bibliography on published works containing ethnographic data on, and analysis of, spirit possession and spirit mediumship in North and Sub-Saharan Africa and in some Afro-American communities in the Western Hemisphere. The sources on Western Afro-American communities were chosen to shed light on the African continent and the Americas. The bibliography, while not exhaustive, provides extensive research on the area of research in spiritualism in Africa and Afro-America. The bibliography also provides unique sources on spirit cults, ritual or ethnic groups and will be of especial interest to researchers. Although published in the late 70s, this book will still provide an incredibly useful research tool for academics in the area of religion, with a focus on spiritualism and non-western religions.

Download or read book Umbanda em casa written by Beto Angeli and published by Fundamentos de Axé. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este livro nos mostra que é possível cultuar a Umbanda de outras formas, sem a necessidade da incorporação: com estudo e intuição. A fim de levar aos familiares, aos não umbandistas e aos simpatizantes as bênçãos e as mensagens das entidades e dos orixás, compartilhando sua energia e levando sua irradiação às nossas casas, Beto Angeli criou um método inovador que deu origem a um curso e, posteriormente, a esta obra de mesmo nome. Ainda que de uma forma distinta da realizada no terreiro — por questões de segurança, espaço e público —, a prática umbandista familiar é possível. Após a leitura de Umbanda em casa: prática umbandista familiar o leitor será capaz de realizar o culto umbandista em sua casa, com sua família e amigos, mostrando a todos o que é a Umbanda e levando seus ensinamentos e a mensagem das entidades e dos orixás àqueles que tanto amam e que compartilham, ou não, de nossa fé.

Book excerpt: The Diaspora of Brazilian Religions explores the global spread of religions originating in Brazil, a country that has emerged as a major pole of religious innovation and production. Through ethnographically-rich case studies throughout the world, ranging from the Americas (Canada, the U.S., Peru, and Argentina) and Europe (the U.K., Portugal, and the Netherlands) to Asia (Japan) and Oceania (Australia), the book examines the conditions, actors, and media that have made possible the worldwide construction, circulation, and consumption of Brazilian religious identities, practices, and lifestyles, including those connected with indigenized forms of Pentecostalism and Catholicism, African-based religions such as Candomblé and Umbanda, as well as diverse expressions of New Age Spiritism and Ayahuasca-centered neo-shamanism like Vale do Amanhecer and Santo Daime. Contributors include Ushi Arakaki, Dario Paulo Barrera Rivera, Brenda Carranza, Anthony D'Andrea, Sara Delamont, Alejandro Frigerio, Alberto Groisman, Annick Hernandez, Clara Mafra, Cecília Mariz, Deirdre Meintel, Carmen Rial, Cristina Rocha, Camila Sampaio, Clara Saraiva, Olivia Sheringham, Neil Stephens, José Claúdio Souza Alves, Claudia Swatowiski, and Manuel A.

Book Synopsis Marginalised and Endangered Worldviews by : Lidia Guzy
Download or read book Marginalised and Endangered Worldviews written by Lidia Guzy and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2017 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The study of worldviews marginalized by mainstream modernity is an eminently important undertaking. It helps us better recognise, cherish and keep the values of traditions and practices that exist. This is important, when the uniform vision of the world heaped on us from the medias, modernist political movements and ideologies, revealed itself as unreal and fake, rendering it evident that the modern utopia of enlightened rationality is just a delirious nightmare."--Arpad Szakolczai, Professor of Sociology, U. College Cork. ***This book fosters dialogue on critical problems faced by endangered indigenous cultures and marginalised communities. The ethos is collaborative and comparative describing the implications for global society of the destruction and impoverishment of human and ecological cultural diversity.

Book Synopsis New Era - New Religions by : Andrew Dawson
Download or read book New Era - New Religions written by Andrew Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Era - New Religions examines new forms of religion in Brazil. The largest and most vibrant country in Latin America, Brazil is home to some of the world's fastest growing religious movements and has enthusiastically greeted home-grown new religions and imported spiritual movements and new age organizations. In Brazil and beyond, these novel religious phenomena are reshaping contemporary understandings of religion and what it means to be religious. To better understand the changing face of twenty-first-century religion, New Era - New Religions situates the rise of new era religiosity within the broader context of late-modern society and its ongoing transformation.
Book Synopsis Jaguars of the Dawn by : Emily Pierini
Download or read book Jaguars of the Dawn written by Emily Pierini and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brazilian Spiritualist Christian Order Vale do Amanhecer (Valley of the Dawn) is the place where the worlds of the living and the spirits merge and the boundaries between lives are regularly crossed. Drawing upon over a decade of extensive fieldwork in temples of the Amanhecer in Brazil and Europe, the author explores how mediums understand their experiences and how they learn to establish relationships with their spirit guides. She sheds light on the ways in which mediumistic development in the Vale do Amanhecer is used for therapeutic purposes and informs notions of body and self, of illness and wellbeing.
Book Synopsis Spirits and Trance in Brazil by : Bettina E. Schmidt
Download or read book Spirits and Trance in Brazil written by Bettina E. Schmidt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bettina E. Schmidt explores experiences usually labelled as spirit possession, a highly contested and challenged term, using extensive ethnographic research conducted in São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil and home to a range of religions which practice spirit possession. The book is enriched by excerpts from interviews with people about their experiences. It focuses on spirit possession in Afro-Brazilian religions and spiritism, as well as discussing the notion of exorcism in Charismatic Christian communities. Spirits and Trance in Brazil: An Anthropology of Religious Experience is divided into three sections which present the three main areas in the study of spirit possession. The first section looks at the social dimension of spirit possession, in particular gender roles associated with spirit possession in Brazil and racial stratification of the communities. It shows how gender roles and racial composition have adapted alongside changes in society in the last 100 years. The second section focuses on the way people interpret their practice. It shows that the interpretations of this practice depend on the human relationship to the possessing entities. The third section explores a relatively new field of research, the Western discourse of mind/body dualism and the wide field of cognition and embodiment. All sections together confirm the significance of discussing spirit possession within a wider framework that embraces physical elements as well as cultural and social ones. Bringing together sociological, anthropological, phenomenological and religious studies approaches, this book offers a new perspective on the study of spirit possession.
