Where do the spirits of animals go after they die? Do animals have chakras or auras? Why were animals worshipped in ancient religions?   Exploring these questions and more, David Barreto presents a deep investigation into the spiritual evolution of the animal kingdom, from ants and cockroaches to cats, dogs, owls, pigeons, dolphins, and whales. He examines the spiritual anatomy of animals, including their aura, etheric fields, chakras, and mental, astral, and buddhic bodies. Detailing how reincarnation works among various species, Barreto explores their experiences between physical lives, how they accrue karma, and how the way that animals die can have different effects on their spiritual bodies in the astral realms. Drawing on both modern physics and metaphysics, he reveals, for example, how dogs can love unconditionally because of their large electromagnetic field, which nourishes the etheric bodies of those around them, and how cats can detect subtle energy shifts and disharmonies and conduct etheric filtration while they sleep.   Examining esoteric schools as well as ancient spiritual traditions around the world, the author explores how animals are viewed and worshipped in different religions and how animal adoration and animal-connected gods arose in ancient Egypt, India, and China. He looks at animal totems, animal archetypes, animals in alchemy, and the astral connections between animals and elementals. The author also examines the spiritual and energetic repercussions of meat consumption and animal sacrifice, revealing the astral and etheric components of slaughterhouses.   Detailing the role of the animal kingdom in the Age of Aquarius, the author shows how, with the awakening of this new astrological era, animals will have their earthly lives elevated with lasting worth and dignity, equal to the love and respect they have been transmitting for millennia.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555329122577,"sku":"GOR013724366","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49751503700241,"sku":"NGR9781644118139","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50387190579473,"sku":"CIN1644118130VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043710566673,"sku":"NIN9781644118139","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51444432208145,"sku":"GOR013310748","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52957664018705,"sku":"CIN1644118130G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1644118130.jpg?v=1750831108"},{"product_id":"spiritual-evolution-in-the-animal-kingdom-book-david-barreto-9781916211162","title":"Spiritual Evolution in the Animal Kingdom","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50215693353233,"sku":"CIN191621116XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191621116X.jpg?v=1750899938"},{"product_id":"book-of-umbanda-book-david-barreto-9781916211117","title":"The Book of Umbanda","description":"This volume serves as a comprehensive academic resource for both students of spirituality and scholars of world religions. Umbanda, a prominent Brazilian religion, emerges as the largest indigenous faith in the Americas, shaping numerous syncretic traditions such as Santeria, Obeah, Vodou, Candomble, and Spiritism. In *The Book of Umbanda*, David Barreto offers a scholarly examination of the religion's development, tracing its historical and anthropological origins from 19th-century spiritualist practices like s ances and turning tables, to its deep connections with West African oracle systems and cults predating European contact with the Americas.\u003cbr\u003eThrough a blend of ethnographic research and personal immersion in spiritualist centers in both Brazil and the UK, the author presents a nuanced study of Umbanda's philosophies, rituals, and theological frameworks. Barreto's insights, enriched by direct participation in these religious contexts, provide an authoritative and experiential understanding of the faith. This work outlines the full doctrinal scope of Umbanda while also offering an intricate analysis of its pantheon of deities and spiritual entities, making it an indispensable reference for those studying comparative religion.\u003cbr\u003eMoreover, the text provides detailed explanations of the practical and symbolic elements of Umbanda, including temple layouts, altar arrangements, and the religious use of objects such as herbs, stones, candles, and ritual offerings. These elements are explored not only for their ritual significance but also for their broader extraphysical and symbolic meanings, lending a deeper understanding of their role within the religious framework.\u003cbr\u003eBarreto also engages with the mediumistic practices integral to Umbanda, offering a clear and scholarly presentation of spiritual channeling. His treatment of this subject balances critical analysis with a neutral tone, making it accessible to both practitioners and academic observers. The mechanisms of mediumship and its role in Umbanda services are dissected with precision, providing both an in-depth theoretical perspective and practical guidance for mediums.\u003cbr\u003eUnique in its accessibility, the book translates key religious terms and concepts into English without losing their cultural significance. Barreto avoids exoticism and ensures that the terminology resonates with a non-Portuguese-speaking audience while maintaining fidelity to Umbanda's traditional meanings. This linguistic precision allows non-native practitioners and scholars to engage with the religion in a more profound and authentic way.\u003cbr\u003eIn sum, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Book of Umbanda\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a scholarly and insightful exploration of the religion's history, doctrines, and spiritual practices, offering a rigorous and engaging resource for both academic study and spiritual inquiry.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52737238532369,"sku":"NIN9781916211117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781916211117.jpg?v=1763419916"},{"product_id":"supernatural-science-book-david-barreto-9781916211148","title":"The Supernatural Science","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnlock the mysteries of the spirit world with this modern and groundbreaking analysis by David Barreto.
