Letter to the reader

Year 14 - 708 - February 14, 2021

The researcher and writer Samuel Nunes Magalhães talks to the magazine


An active participant in the Brazilian Spiritist Federation, where he works in the areas of Memory and Social Assistance, the spiritist scholar and researcher Samuel Nunes Magalhães, from Ceará, based in the Federal Capital, is our interviewee. In the interview he talks to us, among other subjects, about his historical research concerning the physiologist Charles Richet and the medium Anna Prado. The article, written by Orson Peter Carrara, is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the special “Spiritism has no end yet”, by Paulo Neto, a well-known spiritist scholar and author of numerous works pertaining to spiritist doctrine. In the article, reproducing words from Spiritism's own coder, he refutes the ideas of those who understand that Allan Kardec's works contain everything that is relevant about Spiritism, as if there was nothing more to be added to what he wrote.

On Friday, the 12th, the e-book 20 Lessons on Mediumship, an English version of the Portuguese book´s version, written by Astolfo Olegário de Oliveira Filho, was published. The version was done voluntarily and gracefully by Eleni Frangatos, who since March 2013 collaborates as a translator for this magazine. The download of the book, as with all works by EVOC - Editora Virtual O Consolador, is free.
