El Caldero Espiritual
El Caldero Espiritual: An Introduction to Spiritual Pots is a clear, practical guide to how containers are used in Espiritismo to seat and direct sacred action. Grounded in Afro-Atlantic history and Caribbean practice, it defines the spiritual pot on its own terms and distinguishes it from a Palo prenda without blurring lineages. The book traces origins in Dahomey/Fon and Yorùbá vessel work, follows development in Cuba and Puerto Rico, and shows how pots took shape beside the mesa blanca. It maps the main types with precision—ancestral seats tied to a gifted elder, guide-centered vessels for Congo, Madama, Gitana, Bruja, and Doctor spirits, and mission-focused builds with clean endings. It also covers standard bodies such as the caldero and the cazuela, and expands to other forms some spirits choose, including bowls, shells, chests, cages, and bone seats under proper signs.
Readers learn the working logic behind elements, minerals, plants, metals, soils, sticks, and waters so choices fit the case instead of fashion. The text explains the heart or matari concept, community-oriented service, regional currents (mesa blanca, cruzado, científico), and the role of the cuadro espiritual with a stable main guide. It outlines disciplined preparation, consent, and pacing; communication by prayer; and brief confirmation using four prepared coconut pieces or an alternate.Showcase what this product is about.
