Amazon Review
Hess, an anthropologist, takes us on a spiritual journey through Brazil's eclectic mystical religions. He covers Spiritism, Kardecism, Umbanda, Candomble and other alternative religions, some with roots in Africa, others of more recent vintage. He emphasizes how race and social class are reflected in the sectarian divisions among these various groups. He also writes of his own personal spiritual search, and of his encounters with such startling phenomena as exorcism, the removal of cysts by psychic surgery, spirit mediums and poltergeists.
