Shamanic Ceremony and Music presentation at Iguassu Falls Area



The photo and video above have been made on Saturday, June 6th, at the deck of Porto Caonas Restaurant and Cultural Area overlooking Iguassu Falls. The occasion was a musical presentation by the Degraded Sons of Eve Choir and Band made up by members of the Portal do Sol (Sun's Door) Shamanic Studies Center. Also, later on, same day, there was a beautiful and hard-to-describe shamanic ceremony geared at opening the Iguassu Falls Peace Portal and set the Creative Mist for Peace and abundance to the rest of the Planet. Iguassu Falls is revered as a Sacred Place and as a powerful Earth Chacra.

  Mission accomplished. Members of the     Mãe Edna de Baru's (Mother Edna of Baru) house. An Afro-Brazilian Religious Space may be called "temple", "center" (centro) as in Centro de Umbanda (Umbanda Center), "terreiro" - a word derived from "terra (Earth) and simply "house".  A "terreiro" can be an area in the bush that is separated for the service, the undergrowth is cleared, the soil swept so that feet can tap and stump on the ground without the danger of snakes, insects that could somehow cause harm to the people in ceremony.

Everyone, when trying to learn about Iguassu Falls, will hear this Poor Niagara – Iguassu Story. What is happening hear now is that I have launched a campaign, through several of my blogs trying to find out whether this is true or false and what is the context in which the first lady said that. US First lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited Brazil in March 14-17 in 1944. She flew from the US over the Caribbean, made stops at some islands and for sure visited Trinidad and Tobago. From TT the First lady flew to Brazil entering the country through Belem – at the mouth of the Amazon River. Eleanor Roosevelt’s Belem visit has been well documented in Brazil. ...
