Cuban responds: Where do the familiar spirits go that never show up at any mass?

A Cuban spiritist known as Orimaosun, founder of the Orimaosian Interreligious Spiritualism Doctrine (DEsIO), published yesterday on TikTok a video in which he answers one of the most frequently asked questions among practitioners of Cuban cross-spiritualism: what happens to family spirits that never make an appearance at any spiritual mass?

The video, lasting almost ten minutes, presents a direct critique of the classic Kardecian postulate, which asserts that upon death, the spirit completely separates from the material world and its relatives.

"In some households or ways of thinking heavily influenced by Kardecian theories and doctrine, it is established that when the spirit passes away, all familiarity, transcendence, and ties with the material world it lived in are severed," points out the spiritist, questioning this view in relation to the spiritual portrait of relatives or other individuals that are part of the practice of Cuban crossed spiritism.

The proposal from Orimaosun is framed within an interreligious vision that integrates elements of Spiritism with traditions such as the deities of the Yoruba pantheon, known as the 400 unas, in a doctrinal synthesis characteristic of popular Cuban spirituality.
