Spiritism - Spiritism as a Religion.
Kardec defined his doctrine as "Religion, Science and Philosophy. It is a religion in the sense that it is concerned with the word of God; it is the science that studies spiritual phenomena and it is the moral philosophy behind all Christian denominations.
He embraced all Christian ramifications like a single Religion, derived from the word of Jesus, needing a new revelation, which was made on that moment by spirits. Therefore, the rituals and the organisation are taken from whatever religion one follows, though what really matters are not the exterior ritu ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Yoruba - Yoruba cities The chief Yoruba cities are Lagos, Ibadan, Abẹokuta, Akurẹ, Ilọrin, Ijẹbu Ode, Ijẹbu-Igbo,Ogbomọsọ, Ondo, Ọta,Ado-Ekiti, Shagamu, Ikẹnnẹ, Isẹyin, Osogbo, Ilesha, Ọyọ, Ilé-Ifè.
Traditionally the Yoruba organized themselves into networks of related villages, towns, and kingdoms, with most of them headed by an Ọba [King] or Baale [a nobleman or mayor]. Kingship is not determined by simple primogeniture, as in most monarchic systems of government. An electoral college of lineage heads is usually charged with ...

These were the famous Fox Sisters and the phenomenon of the Spinning Tables. The hype of Mesmerism also contributed a lot to the early Spiritist practice.

In 1847 the Fox family moved into a house in Hydesville, New York which had been previously owned by one Venckman. The Foxes had six children, but only the youngest girls, Margaret (14) and K ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Syncretism - Origin of the word The word Syncretism is first attested in English in 1618 and is derived from modern Latin syncretismus, drawing on Greek συγκρητισμός (synkretismos), meaning "a union of communities".
The word occurs in Plutarch's (1st century AD) essay on "Fraternal Love" in his Moralia (2.490b). He cites the example of the Cretans who were reconciliated in their differences and came together in alliance when faced with external dangers. "And that is their so-called Syncretism." The word is a compound of ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Syncretism - Syncretism in Ancient Greece Syncretism was an essential feature of Greek paganism. Hellenistic culture in the age that followed Alexander the Great was itself syncretic, essentially a blend of Persian, Anatolian, Egyptian (and eventually Etruscan-Roman) elements within a Hellenic overall formula. The Egyptian god Amun developed as the Hellenized Zeus Ammon after Alexander the Great went into the desert to seek out Amun's oracle at Siwa.
These identifications derive from the Hellenic habit of identifying gods of disparate mythologies with their own. When t ...

Channelling is a popular source of revealed teachings in some New Age groups. Well known channellers like Diandra (Salem), Edgar Cayce, Esther Hicks (Abraham), Jane Roberts (Seth), and Lee Carol (Kryon) have volumes of teachings on angels, chakras, higher dimensions, future predictions, manifestation, meditation, non- ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Syncretism - Syncretism in Rome The Romans, identifying themselves as common heirs to a very similar civilization, identified Greek deities with similar figures in the Etruscan-Roman tradition, though cult practices were not usually copied. (For details, see Similarities between Roman, Greek, and Etruscan mythologies.) Syncretic gods of the Hellenistic period found also wide favor in Rome: Serapis, Isis, Mithras are syncretic deities. Cybele, as she was worshiped in Rome, was essentially a syncretic goddess. The Greek god Dionysus was imported into Rome as Bacchus, and the Anatol ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Syncretism - Syncretism in Christianity Nascent Christianity appears to have incorporated many European Pagan cultural elements, "baptizing" or "Christianizing" them to conform with Christian belief and principles, at least partially through discarding theologically and morally incompatible elements. One example of this is the strong connection between the thought of St. Augustine and Neoplatonic thought, and St. Thomas Aquinas's many quotations of "The Philosopher", Aristotle. Many scholars agree to this syncretism in principle, though any specific example is likely to be labeled ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Yoruba - History The Yoruba were one of the most urbanized sub-saharan Africans in the pre-colonial era, and have a history of town-dwelling that goes back to 500 A.D. The wealth of the Yoruba came from controlling the important trade routes between the coast and the hinterland. Trade caravans exchanged the agricultural products of the forest economies, including kolanuts and yam with textiles, metalwork, leatherwork and other goods imported through the Saharan trade. The pre-colonial Yoruba living in the savannah region between the forest and the Niger rive ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - New Age - History The name New Age was popularized by the American mass media during the late 1980s, to describe the alternative spiritual subculture interested in such things as meditation, channelling, reincarnation, crystals, psychic experience, holistic health, environmentalism, and various “unsolved mysteries” such as UFOs, Earth mysteries and Crop circles. Typical activities of this subculture include participation in study or meditation groups, attendance at lectures and fairs; the purchase of books, music, and other products such as crystals or incense; patronage of fortune-tellers ...

| | | | | Umbanda: Encyclopedia II - Yoruba - Precolonial Social Organization Though monarchies were fairly common throughout the Yoruba-speaking region, they were not the only approach to government and social organization. The numerous Egba communities, found in the forests below O.yo.'s savannah region, were a notable example. These independent polities often had elected Obas, though the Ogboni, a legislative and judicial council of notable elders, wielded the actual political power.
When citizens of more than 150 Egba and Owu communities migrated to the fortified city-state of Abeokuta during the wars of th ...
