Chico Xavier

Uberaba
July 24, 1970

Brazilians consider him the greatest man their country has ever known. He doesn't owe his fame to politics, nor music, nor football. Chico Xavier (1910-2002) was the most astonishing medium of the 20th century. According to a popularity poll conducted in 2006 by Época magazine, he ranks at the top, with twice as many votes as his immediate successor, Formula 1 ace Ayrton Senna, who died on a circuit in 1994. When the anniversary of his birth was celebrated in 2010, there was a multitude of tributes, including a film, named after him and depicting his life, which set a new box office record for a national production.

A mixed-race child, too poor to study, an adult with an unfavorable appearance, suffering from chronic cataracts and premature baldness that forced him to wear dark glasses and a wig, Chico Xavier became a true idol, the object of a popular cult. Thanks, of course, to his mysterious gifts that promoted him to an apostle of Brazilian Spiritism. But also for his exemplary, never-failing life as a pure, honest, selfless, tirelessly hardworking, and deeply altruistic man. Many of his compatriots see signs of sainthood in him.

In 1970, the year of this dedication, Chico Xavier was a guest on a famous television program: the audience reached that night has never been surpassed. In 1981, Brazil mobilized to have him receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In vain. Under the medium's aegis, Brazil became the adopted homeland of Spiritism, its third religion: 20 million sympathizers. The 70s were a period of growing recognition and dissemination of Chico Xavier's work, not only within the Spiritist movement but also in the broader cultural and religious landscape of Brazil, consolidating Xavier's reputation as one of the most influential people in the country.

The autograph document I present here is interesting in several aspects:

  • "The Way to the Light" is one of the books psychographed by Chico Xavier, attributed to the spirit Emmanuel, one of the medium's main spiritual guides. First published in 1939, this copy of the sixth edition stands out in Xavier's bibliography for addressing the history of humanity from a spiritualist perspective. It is considered a fundamental work for scholars and followers of Spiritism.

  • We don't know who Pedro, Hinan, Leoniza, Leticia, Maria Luiza and Omar were, but Chico Xavier established deep bonds with many people in Uberaba, treating many of his friends and followers as his spiritual family. He dedicated a large part of his life to mediumistic and assistance work, with the support of a broad community of individuals dedicated to the Spiritist cause. However, dedications to a group of people are quite uncommon.

  • The dedication was signed in Uberaba, where the medium moved in 1959. Uberaba became the center of his activities, attracting people from all over Brazil and the world seeking guidance, spiritual comfort, and the opportunity to be near the medium. The document is in very good condition and was signed "Chico Xavier," although on many occasions he signed simply as "Chico."

Manuscripts and dedications by Chico Xavier rarely appear on the market, and when they do, they are often in poor condition. The medium was frequently described as a person of great humility, who did not seek personal or material recognition for his work. This may have contributed to the scarcity of items personally signed or dedicated by him. His primary intention was to disseminate Spiritist teachings, not to create objects of personal value.

Can I pay for my purchase in installments?

It is also possible to pay in up to 10 installments via Pix; in this case, shipping will be carried out after the full payment of the purchase.

Can I ask for a discount?

We offer a 3% discount for payments made in full (via Pix or bank transfer) or the option to pay in up to 3 interest-free installments by credit card. Furthermore, the prices of our pieces are carefully determined based on international market supply and demand, the specific characteristics of each item, and sales results of similar pieces. For this reason, we typically do not grant additional discounts. However, if you wish to purchase multiple pieces or make an exceptionally high-value purchase, we would be pleased to consider a special commercial arrangement.

How is delivery made? What will I receive?

What warranties come with the items?

All items sold by Glórias have a permanent guarantee against eventual certification errors, provided that such error is subsequently demonstrated and confirmed by Mathias Meyer. In this event, the buyer will be fully reimbursed. To date, this situation has never occurred. The guarantee does not cover natural alterations or damage caused by improper storage, exposure to light, humidity, insects, or any other external factor that may compromise the preservation of the paper or ink.

Can I resell this piece in the future?

Yes. Should you wish to sell your piece in the future, please contact us. We will be happy to guide you and help you find a new collector, either through a direct sale or through a specialized auction organized by Glórias.

How can I add value to my collection?

If your goal is to go beyond an isolated purchase, the ideal is to build a coherent collection around a theme, a personality, or a historical period, such as aviation pioneers, women who made history, love letters, old photographs of Rio de Janeiro, Oscar Niemeyer, Pelé, or Ayrton Senna. Mathias Meyer can guide you in forming a consistent collection, according to your interests, objectives, and budget.

How should I store my document or autograph?

To preserve your document in the best condition, we recommend against laminating it or keeping it permanently framed, as paper needs to breathe and prolonged exposure to light can accelerate its deterioration. Ideally, store it in a dry, dark, and clean place, protected from humidity, extreme temperatures, dust, and insects, ensuring its preservation for many decades.

Why aren't these pieces in museums?

Throughout history, much of the world's documentary heritage has been preserved thanks to private collectors and dealers. These enthusiasts of historical documents play a fundamental role in the discovery, study, and preservation of pieces that can later be loaned, donated, or sold to museums and other institutions. In Brazil, where many museums have limited financial resources and staff, this collaboration is even more important. Glórias maintains relationships with public institutions, museums, and researchers, both in Brazil and abroad, sharing discoveries, knowledge, and, in some cases, documents for exhibitions.

Can I offer you a part to buy?

With pleasure. The first step is to conduct a preliminary assessment, which will determine the level of authenticity, market value, and the best strategy for your piece. Depending on the outcome, there are several possibilities, such as certification, direct sale, consignment, or a specialized auction.

Where do the parts sold by Glórias come from?

Behind every rare document lies a unique trajectory, which makes collecting a fascinating way to preserve and transmit history. Most of the pieces offered by Glórias were inherited by families who contacted us, while others were acquired at auctions, where they were misidentified or undervalued, or came from collectors, antique dealers, or autograph document merchants.
