Spiritism is a philosophical and spiritual movement that explores the nature of spirits and their relationship with the physical world. Founded in the 19th century by Allan Kardec, it combines elements of science, religion, and morality. Spiritists believe that spirits are the souls of deceased individuals who can communicate with the living, offering guidance and wisdom. The practice often involves mediumship, where individuals, known as mediums, connect with spirits to receive messages. Spiritism emphasizes personal growth, moral development, and the idea of reincarnation, suggesting that our actions in this life affect our future lives. Through understanding and compassion, Spiritists aim to improve themselves and society.
