 This site exists to fulfil the desire of sharing the spiritualist Daime doctrine of Raimundo Irineu Serra, better known as Mestre Irineu, for those who seek the encounter with the truth that was practiced and spread by him through the teachings, example and liturgical practices received in the 57 years of his spiritual work on earth.
His life is itself a philosophy, a seed planted by him and cultivated by us across nearly a century of history and expansion, and it is up to us to seek the roots of this shaded tree -- deeply connected with the earth through nature, the forest, the vine, the leaf and our natural state among all beings -- this way guarding the collective space, creating and generating a safe and dignifying environment for the practices of the Daime, today and for the future generations, thereby giving continuity to his infinite work.
This website is a free and voluntary initiative, and has no connection whatsoever with any specific Santo Daime group, church, lineage, command or hierarchy, thus being impartial and non official, with the simple goal of sharing information about the work of Raimundo Irineu Serra and his followers. We neither sponsor nor encourage any attitude that might lead to prejudice, prosecution or any kind of sectarian thinking. We rely on the collaboration of all, in matter and spirit, for enriching this portal, which belongs to everybody: The life and the work of Raimundo Irineu Serra.
We hope that this way the work of this Divine Being can continue to exist in the hearts of all those who follow the doctrine of the Virgin Sovereign Mother, the Virgin of the Conception, the Queen of the Forest.

Above is the Daime flag, which was received by Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra from the Holy Virgin Mother. The eagle is just about to take flight. Francisco Grangeiro asked Mestre Irineu about the symbolism: “Mestre, what does the eagle on top of the moon mean?” To which Mestre Irineu answered: “Chico, what happens if you take off the accent from the word ‘eagle’?” (In Portuguese, the word for ‘eagle’ is ‘águia’. Without the accent it would be pronounced ‘a-guia’, which means ‘the guide’) – from the book ‘Contos da Lua Branca’ (Tales of the White Moon) by Florestan Neto.
