What is espiritism?
Spiritism, known as espiritism in Spanish, is religious belief in power and ghost ability to influence human life. This type of spiritualism is practiced by many Caribbean nations and Latin America citizens. The practitioners believe that both good and evil spirits exist and that both types of supernatural beings are able to influence the health and happiness of human beings at will.
Espiritismo is based on traditional medical medicine of indigenous people from areas such as Puerto Rico. However, it also consists of more modern elements, such as those of spiritualism, the only god of religion that developed in the 40s of the 20th century. Spiritualism included the belief that the people who died had the power to influence human life as soon as they enter the spiritual world.
practicing espiritismo are known as Espiritistas. Many espirites come from a long series of other ancient spiritual traditions, such as worshiping ancestors practiced by indigenous American and African indigenous tribes.Some believers in espiritism claim to be able to talk to ghosts, usually when they gather with other believers who can communicate with the supernatural world. They perform this communication session on a session similar to a meeting known as a MISA.
Like many other monotheistic religions, espiritism is based on the existence of one highest deity. The practitioners consider this God to be an omnipotent being that created the universe. However, as the practitioners celebrate or worship this creator, however, it differs very much because there is no recognized central leader or a guide to religion. Many espirits simply collect various practices and rituals from other religions and create agglomerate practice, including the principles of water, Roman Catholicism, Santeria and other systems of faith.
The ability to communicate with ghosts in espiritism is known as psychological ability, grace or other -to -jerkology. Many espirites who believe that they have these gifts require that they should not talk about them, because their spiritual guides could get angry. Some also believe that talking about their spiritual guides can give further spiritual consent to remove their gifts. Espiritists can use many traditional divination channels to communicate with their spiritual guides such as tarot cards. Others can simply use rituals such as group dance or drumming, direct their spiritual guides through their own bodies.
The use of altars, prayers and other traditional religious components are common among espiritists, although every family of practitioners differs from the next. Some branches of faith focus on the healing members of the community. Exorcisms also take place in some espiritism of rituals.
