Tia Neiva’s Mediumship and the Vale do Amanhecer Doctrine

Record summary

Neiva Chaves Zelaya, popularly called Tia Neiva, was the founding medium and charismatic authority of Vale do Amanhecer. Accounts from the movement describe visions, spirit communication, reincarnational histories, extraterrestrial contacts, and ritual messages that shaped the community’s doctrine before her death in 1985. This lead matters for comparing female mediumship, charismatic revelation, and modern esoteric institution-building in Brazil. The existence of the movement and its leader is well documented, but individual visionary claims and retrospective hagiography require source-critical treatment.
