Encantaria: The Hidden Spirit World of Brazil and the Magic of Catimbó

By Mario dos Ventos

Step into the enchanted world of Brazil's hidden spirits, where forest whispers, rivers remember, and sacred smoke carries the voice of the divine. Encantaria: The Hidden Spirit World of Brazil and the Magic of Catimb is a rare and intimate journey into one of South America's most beautiful and mysterious spiritual traditions. Rooted in centuries of Indigenous knowledge, folk Catholic devotion, and ancestral spirit work, Encantaria is a living path of prayer, ritual, and enchantment. At its heart are the Encantados, the spirits of the land, water, and wind who never died but transformed into invisible guides walking beside those who know how to listen. In this richly written book, you will meet the forest-dwelling Caboclos Encantados, the Ciganos who dance between fate and freedom, the Ladies of the Waters, and the vanished king Dom Sebasti o, who still answers those who call with faith. You will explore sacred sites across Brazil, learn how the Seven Kingdoms of Encantaria shape spiritual life, and discover daily practices using tobacco, candlelight, prayer, and song. With rituals, offerings, divinations, and prayers woven throughout, this is more than a book. It is an invitation. Whether you are new to the Encantaria or already feel their presence in your dreams and days, this work opens the door with respect, beauty, and deep spiritual warmth. Come sit by the candle. The spirits are listening.
