Do not get carried away by emotion
Ednilson Perdon Palmistry, which seeks to predict the fortunes from the lines, m
arks and patterns on the hands, is a very old cultural practice. In the Middle A
ges was practiced in India, China and Egypt to detect witches. It was believed t
hat certain points of hands indicated even if the person had made a pact with th
e devil. By way of hands, accepted to be said as a person was. Its features stan
d out in and became known immediately. Stated that creative people had fan-shape
d hands and sensitive, the narrow, pointy fingers, that all this reflected in th
e way you are and make money. Pure guesswork based on sympathetic magic and intu
ition. It is all pre-trial, as this practice has no scientific support. So nothi
ng is confirmed. Even that it is possible to find out how to make money or find
true love from the lines or signs of hands, also reasons that lead people to be
duped. In different cities of the southern region of Santa Catarina, see Gypsies
performing this practice harmful to people who pay for the consultation being c
arried away by insistence of those who do. It is the desire to know the future t
hat worries people of different faiths and financial situations, making them suf
fer in the search for magic solutions to their various problems, which in most c
ases, are imposed by circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, I can not allo
w the lack of money, unemployment and difficulties in love relationships, health
problems make people lose trust in reason and something that even science prove
s its effectiveness.
The "magic wand"
The whole world is full of diverse doctrines, sects and religions. Each with its
own traditions, cultures and regiments. But despite the best preparations for l
ife, sometimes flare up against each other, bringing little feelings. The greate
st motivator of disbelief is the lack of information. After all, it is important
to have real ground before each trial. Esotericism is an example of this, becau
se it always has faced criticism from other arts, especially in relation to some
forms and objects that approach works. At first, they do not practice evil, the
esoteric has been very widespread and accepted. But many elements used in such
practices may be harmful to health. This is the case of incense. It is used to b
ring spiritual comfort and clean environments. However, excessive use tends to i
ntoxicate. The Brazilian Association for Consumer Protection (Protest) in resear
ch, assessed the substances emitted in the burning of incense and discovered tha
t some of them are toxic. The lack of specific contents described on the packagi
ng and the belief that the rods may have caused problems to heal health professi
onals. Little is known of the chemicals used for the manufacture of incense, whi
ch complicates treatment for intoxicated. The lack of preparation and also the q
uestionable character of some involved in the good way hinder the spread of corr
ect information. Regardless of belief, one can not expect that the absorption of
carbon monoxide bring the cure of diseases. On the contrary. The question then
inhaled or worsening allergies, intoxication, cardiovascular problems and even c
ause cancer, depending on the amount and frequency. You have to qualify the prof
essionals of esotericism, giving guidance on the use of incense, before major pr
oblems occur. The regulation of products is also necessary in this process, sinc
e a "bull" explanation would be of great importance. So surely reduce many probl
ems that are actually in the hospital.
I believe (partly) in horoscope
Arthur Lavin Not that the journals. It's hard to believe that there are only 12
"roadmaps" for the day possible for all people of the world, all of which were b
orn in the same period will ever be the same, with the same burden and bonuses.
But there are characteristics of each sign, and these, I believe. Capricorn will
use as an example. According to the description of the site Horoscopes Virtual,
those born between December 22 and January 20, are "the established order, and
also the effort toward the summit of achievement." I have a friend born on Decem
ber 28 that is the person with the most practical and objective mind I know. If
it is to reach such an outcome, then you have to do this, this and that. That's
it! Outright. Or as he himself would say: "I am under contract."€There is the as
pect of the astrological horoscope that I do not know if it makes much sense. No
t that I believe in it. What I believe is that, like human life is driven and pl
anned every year, the fact that someone born at the beginning or end of the year
makes a difference. Especially taking into account that each day spent on early
enough in the account of evolution as a human being and citizen.
Esoteric is of good or evil?
Philip Casagrande Priests and pastors from evangelical and Catholic churches ins
ist that every form of mysticism is the work of evil or that whoever believes in
God does not need to resort to this kind of belief. What they do not know is th
at the followers of the esoteric practices are not leaving to believe in God. On
the contrary. He seeks to help others and themselves seeking balance through se
lf-knowledge and understanding of life on earth. In the struggle for survival, m
ankind has found religion, and from this came the magic. It is believed that the
mystic is the junction of truths contained in the occult and religion. But reli
gion is recognized that the divine permeates all that exists, linking man to nat
ure. Already by the magic you learn to
dominate nature, beginning with the art of making fire. Therefore, since ancient
times, thousands of people resort to esoteric techniques to master your inner s
elf. Arts such as tarot, numerology, palmistry and astrology are part of esoteri
cism that promises to "assist in reading the future." In this process of divinat
ion, is given to metaphysics, which teaches the relationship
human to understand where it came from, where to go and what is its relationship
with the cosmos. The fans believe in the esoteric is possible to have the spiri
tual development of people. With this trend, the practitioners broaden the knowl
edge of its defects, qualities, thoughts and feelings, causing them to live bett
er every moment of its existence.

The magic of esotericism in the world
Text: Crisitiana Medeiros - Edition: Daniel Antonello According to the dictionar

sophers who communicated his principles to his disciples just started. Currently
, there are many ramifications and trends extracted from the esoteric. Cartomanc

es used by esotericism. One, the Cabala, it became more famous after being chose

esides being considered as a knowledge of Judaism. According to Hebrew mythology
, the Kabbalah was given by God to Moses, or through the angel Raziel to Adam, a

rabbi of Congregation Israelita Mineira, the practice is daily study of meditati

keptical if we deny that these energies do not exist, but this is simply a diffe
rent way of knowing", says Father Anthony gallate, pastor of St. Joseph Cathedra
l in Criciuma.€"If one follows as the standard of living these ideas, she ignore
s her religion," stresses. Not everyone is so critical of esotericism. The lawye
r and spirit Walterney Angelo Defendants defines esotericism as a process necess
ary for the development of human knowledge. "Verily, the spiritualist doctrine d
oes not disqualify the esoteric, such as not dismiss astrology and alchemy, whic

a soup, between what man perceived by the senses and what he tried to "guess" as
cause and consequence than perceived. "The man noticed the action of a storm an
d tried to guess its cause. For Defendants, esotericism is nothing more than an
attempt to reconcile the discovery phase of the most basic natural laws, the ina
bility to understand these laws. The lawyer and spirit Ildefonso Leal de Souza s
ays that the spirit is no religious bias. "With respect to the vision of esoteri
cism in spiritualism, that respects all religions and philosophies in place, sin
ce it believes that each person within their knowledge and understanding comes t
o accept what is within his reach at that moment."

Tarot, a game of great stories
The history of tarot cards began in Egypt and arrived in Europe around 1300, bro
ught by the Arabs. The first record of Tarot in Europe occurred in half the matc
hes of the Swiss monk, Friar John, who said he had known letters that could indi
cate the events of the world. According to the website "Guide to the Curious"€ye
t was still in the eighteenth century that Alliette, a Frenchman, began making m
oney with guesswork, also practiced Palmistry and interpreted dreams. Tarot, as
is known, is a deck of 78 cards divided into two groups: the Arcane (mysteries)
Major, with its iconic designs, and the Minor Arcana, with all four suits. The f
irst set is the most important, with 21 cards numbered 1-21, plus the figure of
the Fool, represented by the number zero. According to the manual of fortune-tel
ling, the first relates to the more subjective side of life and according to obj
ective questions, such as travel, illness and money. According to the authors of
the book "The Tarot Mythological a new approach to reading tarot, Juliet Sharma
n Burke and Liz Greene, there are different types of tarot. Among them, one of t
he most popular is the de Marseille, designed in 1760 by Spaniard Nicolas Conver

Astrology is more than a science
Text: Layzer Rao - Issue: Khaled Salama According to site information Estrela Gu
ia (estrelaguia. feminice.com.br), "Astrology is a symbolic language that correl
ates the position of celestial bodies at any given time with the characteristics
of this moment a given location on Earth. " Through this language, professional
s can guide people, revealing the kinds of influential power in each event, be i
t spiritual, physical, emotional or professional. Thus, the astrologer can ident
ify trends in each one, which may have led to develop a certain feature, and wha
t kind of control these trends can have in life. After this analysis, the person
can deal better about yourself. As the positioning of the stars at the time a c
hild is born, for example, you can know what will influence her personality and
avoid the negative aspects that make a person miserable. The same can be done wi

lives are interfering with someone's life since birth. "He reveals the karmic ch
allenges that you're living, why the restrictions that you are suffering in a pa
rticular area of your life, incarnational proposal, the development of their emo
tional area, the prospects for the financial and business trends and their intel
lectuals" , says the astrologer. Each has a warrior inside. This branch of astro
logy, she says, "helps you understand which area he is working and why." The map
also shows karmic "areas that instigate more creativity, spiritual development
or that will undergo radical changes. This can refer to his life as a whole (bir
th chart) or the corresponding year (annual statement). The gift of astrology, t
o Maiana also stems from past lives. "We just developed this gift through studie
s, courses, as I did." Before each consultation, the astrologer explains what ma
kes a ritual. "I ask the mentors of light that help people to be treated accordi

as a "baseline". "In an analysis of the astrological sun sign is only one aspect
to be analyzed. The ascending to the Moon, to Venus and other planets, makes up
the basic characteristics of a person,€influence on his personality and his lif

l signs that make up your personality, "he explains. According to astrologer, th
ere are several types of Astrology: Western, Chinese, or Vedic Jyotish and cabal
istic. She believes that astrology helps us to improve the quality and deal with
the defects. "Through astrology, we can realize our talents, you try to enlarge
them, find out our weaknesses and try to make amends. We are responsible for ou
r lives and we must live it the most profitable way for our improvement, "he say
s. be more careful with the weaknesses, "he says. According to the website of th
e Round Earth Society (www.str.com. Br), "Astrology has been growing in populari
ty. Research suggests that the majority of Britons believe in it, compared with
only 13% for 50 years. The Association of Professional Astrologers claims that 8
0% of Britons read astrological columns, and psychological studies show that 60%
regularly read their horoscopes. " In Brazil, even without believing in predict
ions of signs, some people also like to know what the stars hold for your day. T

espite the curiosity, she confesses that she is afraid to know what the future h

Angels: the protection that comes from heaven
Text: Saimon Coelho - Editing: Tara Pacheco The word "angel" is derived from the

God." Angels are supernatural beings created by God. They are the heirs of salva

nd action. Emanation is the center of all energies. Creation is time and space.
