Abstract

Based on legal proceedings against those who practised withcraft and sorcery, spiritism, healings rituals and other practices considered as crime by the Legal Code of 1890, this article seeks the historical meannings of religious faiths in a changing urban context. The study focuses on questions such as the propagation of spiritism, the differences between "low" and "high" spiritual rituals, and the way in which these thems were treated by the press and by the leadership of the campaigns against magic.
