Brazilian Spiritist pipe
Brazil holds this strange world record: to have the biggest amount of declared spiritists among its population. And for spiritists I mean common people that can communicate with the spirits of the dead through specific rituals or certain spiritual “techniques”. In fact, in Brazil, Spiritism is considered as a whole religion, with more than two million mortals following its principles and practices. No wonder, then, that was there, in Brazil, where this spiritist pipe’s uncanny story happened…
It began on October the 5th, of the year 1949. That day occurred the most important gathering in the World’s History of Spiritism. The summit was called “Pacto Aureo” (an enigmatic Portuguese name, which can be translated as “Golden Covenant”), and there were set the rules and prescriptions upon the actual Spiritism’s social structure was built. That very same day Fernando Das Neves was born. And since his birth coincided with such a fundamental reunion, his family augured to the baby a bright future within the Spiritist movement. Fernando’s uncle, going far beyond the rest of the family, prognosticated that the new-born was called to be the most powerful medium of the XXth century.
Time passed and Fernando grew up. But his “natural abilities” didn’t show up. So, at the age of 21, Fernando was sent to Uberaba, a district in Minas Gerais state. There lived the legendary Chico Xavier, whose list of extraordinary attributes and deeds is boundless: a superlative prophet, an outstanding prolific writer (with more than 400 books which were dictated by different entities, written thanks to his psychographic skills), a bullet-proof humbleness, an unmatchable sense of charity… were all characteristics of the one who was later considered the Pope of Spiritism.
Fernando entered Chico Xavier’s institution and, thanks to his influential family intervention, he soon became one of his disciples. The idea was to let Chico help him develop his psychic powers. And the lessons started almost instantly.
It took ten years for Fernando Das Neves to recognize that his training was going nowhere. And even more, he started to think that he was a fraud: in his lifetime he did not experience any communication with the dead, not even once. So, exhausted and depressed, he packed his possessions and returned to Rio de Janeiro
Back in Rio, he announced to his family his retirement from the spiritual path. But his uncle convinced him that the failure wasn’t his responsibility at all, but instead, a wrong selection of a spiritist environment. He explained to Fernando that a medium has two very different groundings to choose from. One is the Kardecist movement: based on Allan Kardec’s philosophy, this tradition promote a clean body as a condition to contact the spirits. On the opposite site, or almost, you can find the Umbanda Spiritism: grounded in several African cults, this faction believes in inducing the medium in a trance (through substance experimentation or any other ritual practices, for example). Chico Xavier was the ultimate Kardecist. Now Fernando needed to experiment the other option, inspired by the previous experiences of Aleister Crowley’s Golden Dawn. And his uncle was so eloquent that made him change his mind.
A couple of weeks later, Fernando’s uncle introduced him to the members of one extremely closed esoteric group, whose ritual’s line was unmistakeably umbandistic. They were going to held a spiritist session that same Sunday night and invited Fernando to join them, something he accepted without knowing that this decision will put him in great danger…
Sunday arrived and Fernando ended up in a minuscule apartment with half a dozen other people. His uncle, who was not present, had praised his nephew’s talents in such an emphatic way that the group agreed unanimously to let Fernando be the one to carry away the ceremony as the mediumnic channel. That accorded, someone brought a little wooden pipe, filled it with cannabis and passed it to Fernando saying “We are ready”. That became his first contact with a “toxic” substance…
Fernando smoked with fruition. But nothing happened. I mean, nothing “supernatural” happened. And although he felt quite easy about this, the others don’t. So one of the attendees, an extremely tall man, grabbed the pipe in disgust and refilled it, but this time with Madak (a powerful mix of Opium and Tobacco). That made a drastic difference. Really.
Twenty minutes later, Fernando entered in an irrevocable trance-like state. Or worse. While lying on the floor, unconscious, shaking and sweating and mumbling incoherent things, his colleagues panicked. The last thing they wanted was a dead overdosed body in the room. And in the middle of this mess someone knocked at the door. Sharp looks were shot between each one in the room. Two young guys pulled Fernando through the floor and left him alone in the bathroom. Then silence. And again three knocks. Instinctively, the only woman in there approached the entrance and said “Yes?”, using a childish voice, very common among Brazilian females. From the other side someone answered: “Let me in”.
It was strange, but everybody in that apartment felt compelled to open the door. And so did the woman. Precisely. What they saw was quite peculiar: an elder man in a black tunic, his face almost all covered up with a thick hood.
The elder man got in and went directly to the bathroom, where Fernando was. And entering there, he slammed the door in rage. Everyone seemed horrified, specially after hearing Fernando’s maniacal scream.
The tall guy quickly opened the door and, to his surprise, the elder man wasn’t there anymore. Fernando was awake, seated in the floor beside the toilet, crying in silence. Upon the general consternation someone suggested that he recognized the apparition: it was Aleister Crowley, one of the most notable “initiated” of the XXth century. The lady in the room commented that Crowley’s death occurred in 1947, more than 30 years before. Then, Fernando interrupted the general amazement: “I’ve just saw things that were not meant for the human eye”. But he never explained what was that monstrous thing he saw. Not even years after the shocking event. When all quieted down in the apartment, the tall attendee snatched the pipe and took it to his home. Then wrote down the chronicle of events, and send both (the pipe and the letter) to my grandfather.
This is a wooden handcrafted pipe, carved with some very stylized Indonesian patterns. The polished design is somewhat abstract, but in a way it resembles a botanical layout, with leafs and branches, divided with ring separators. The inner part of the bowl is made of ceramic so that the pipe itself doesn’t get impregnated by the herb’s strong perfumes: something ideal for those who want to keep their smoking ritual in secret.

Have there ever been any paranormal activities related to the pipe?
Not after this alleged apparition of Aleister Crowley’s ghost. My grandfather didn’t smoke. And neither do I. So the pipe remained unused for quite a while.
