Uberaba
24-7-1970
Brazilians consider him the greatest man their country has ever known. He does not owe his fame to politics, music or football. Chico Xavier (1910-2002) was the most amazing psychic of the 20th century. According to a popularity poll conducted in 2006 by Época magazine, he is at the top, with twice as many votes as his immediate successor, Formula 1 ace Ayrton Senna, who died on a racing circuit in 1994. When the anniversary of his birth was celebrated in 2010, there were a multitude of tributes, including a film named after him and portraying 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 sunglasses 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 the status of apostle of Brazilian spiritism. But also because of his exemplary life, never failing, of a pure, honest, selfless, tireless worker and profoundly altruistic man. Many of his compatriots see in him signs of sainthood.
In 1970, the year of this dedication, Chico Xavier was the guest on a famous television program: the audience reached that night has never been surpassed. In 1981, Brazil mobilized for him to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In vain. Under the aegis of the medium, Brazil became the adoptive homeland of Spiritism, his third religion: 20 million supporters. The 1970s 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 scene 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:
-
"O Caminho da Luz" 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 sixth edition stands out in Xavier's bibliography for approaching the history of humanity from a spiritualist perspective. It is considered a fundamental work for scholars and followers of Spiritism.
-
We do not know who Pedro, Hinan, Leoniza, Leticia, Maria Luiza and Omar were, but Chico Xavier established deep ties with many people in Uberaba, treating many of his friends and followers as his spiritual family. He dedicated much of his life to mediumistic and charitable work, with the support of a large community of individuals dedicated to the spiritist cause. However, dedications to a group of people are quite unusual.
-
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 close to 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 very poor condition. The medium was often 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 signed or personally dedicated by him. His main intention was to spread the Spiritist teachings, not to create objects of personal value.

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 direct sale, consignment, or a specialized auction.
Where do the parts sold by Glórias come from?
Every document has a unique story. Most of the pieces offered by Glórias were inherited from families who contacted us, while others were acquired at auctions, where they were poorly identified or undervalued, or came from antique dealers, collectors, or companies. Behind every rare document there is a singular trajectory, which makes collecting a fascinating way to preserve and transmit history.
