No one becomes a Spiritist by mere adherence (nor by reading novels)

Did you know that most of those who call themselves Spiritists… don't know about Spiritism?

Being a spiritualist is not a matter of emotional adherence, nor of consuming supposedly “spiritualist” novels.
Being a Spiritist means seriously studying the Spiritist science, understanding its foundations and putting its principles into practice — as Allan Kardec taught.

Unfortunately, even famous speakers repeat nonsense that is not in the works of Codification.
See a list of false ideas commonly spread, but totally incompatible with true Spiritism:

You cannot practice mediumship outside the center (yes, you can).

You cannot evoke Spirits (you must evoke, as Kardec taught).

Accept communications without reviewing them (never do this!).

Our Home and threshold exist (they don't exist; they are literary creations).

Passe é transferência de energia (não é; não há “energia” fluídica como no senso comum).

All sufferings are expiations caused by guilt (they are not; there are tests, missions and current causes).

The FEB defines Spiritism (it does not define; it often moves away from it).

Physically disabled people were born that way because of… in their previous life (this is false and dangerous).

Perispírito armazena danos a serem reparados em vidas futuras (falso; o perispírito não guarda “danos” físicos).

Recommending novels to newcomers to learn about Spiritism (this should not be done; novels generate false ideas).

And so it goes…

Spiritism is a doctrine of study, reason and observation.
Exchanging this science for fiction is a huge harm done to Spiritism.
