Record summary
The União do Vegetal, founded by José Gabriel da Costa in 1961, grew substantially in Brazil during the 1970s and 1980s. Members use hoasca in structured ceremonies and interpret visionary experiences through Christian, Indigenous, and esoteric teachings concerning spiritual evolution, healing, and moral transformation. It offers a comparison with apparition and miracle accounts because authority is transmitted through institutional doctrine and sacramental experience. Researchers should identify period-specific centers, publications, and legal disputes, and should not treat reported visions or cures as independently verified supernatural events.
