Kardecist Spiritism Scriptures

Kardecist spiritism, also called Kardecism, is a reincarnationist and spiritualist doctrine established in France in the mid nineteenth century by the writer and educator Hippolyte Leon Denizard Rivail, who wrote under the pen name Allan Kardec. This group gathers Kardec's own foundational codification of the doctrine: The Spirits' Book, published in 1857 as a systematic catechism of spirit teachings on the nature of God, the universe, morality and the destiny of the soul, and The Mediums' Book, published in 1861 as a practical manual on the phenomena of spirit communication and the training of mediums. Together the two works form the core of what Kardec called the Spiritist Codification, and both remain the primary scriptural texts of Kardecist spiritism as practiced today, particularly in Brazil and other parts of the Americas where the movement retains a large following.
