Spiritist music now has its own website


We refer to the Spiritist Collection, a service available on the internet aimed at the dissemination of spiritist music. The one who created it - Gabriel de Oliveira Mathias - is our interviewee. Born in Cachoeiro do Itapemirim (ES), where he resides, he tells us about the origin and purpose of the website and its importance for the dissemination of the work of the new spiritist composers and, by extension, of the spiritist teachings. The interview, organized by tireless companion Orson Peter Carrara, is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the Special “From Genesis to Quantum Biophysics: in a time of pandemic”, authored by the clinical psychologist Arleir Francisco Bellieny, who, in addition to being an internationally renowned Spiritist exhibitor, is a founding member of the Rio de Janeiro Medical-Spiritist Association and of the International Medical-Spiritist Association (AME International). In the article, he comments on the relationship over time between science and religion and the signs that the alliance between the two is not far off.

Gebaldo José de Sousa offers us to the view another curious episode related to the great poet and novelist Victor Hugo, which occurred on the occasion of a trip he made to the province of Zealand, in the Netherlands. The report, initially published by the newspaper Liberté, was reproduced by Allan Kardec in the Spiritist Magazine of December 1867. Entitled “An upset resurrection”, the text reiterates the well-known novelist's conviction about Spiritism. The article is also one of the highlights of this issue.
