The genealogy of the Santo Daime doctrine and its ramifications throughout the years, since the birth of Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra
until the present day. A live and mutable panel, as the doctrine expands and the new generations will go cementing the several
branches and lines of our barrack: The Queen of the Forest’s battalions.
It is worth to mention that most dates and information came from personal accounts and other researches, susceptible of corrections that can
be done at any given moment. Most churches abroad cannot be cited due still of legalization processes of their practices in their respective countries.

Any information that comes to contribute with the doctrine’s genealogy will be very welcomed.
The glossary is placed on the bottom of the document, at the end of the blue line.

"Tetéo was accompanied by several center exponents, including the founder-secretary, Mr. João Rodrigues Facundes, "Nica", who with himself brought all the documentation from CICLU. Thus, the headquarters founded by Mestre Irineu stayed without statute neither regulation. Mestre’s widow went to court to recover the documentation of his center but she lost, and thus the original center had to proceed to a new record that nominated it as CICLU-ALTO SANTO.

Mr. João Rodrigues Facundes kept the name CICLU until recently, when he chose as the name of his center the one of Centro Rainha da Floresta - CRF, and he returned to Mestre’s widow the original documents of the first juridical regulation of the social-religious work of Mestre Irineu’s doctrine"(3).

Early 90's
The Cefluris institutes in the opening of its works the saying: (brief) “In the name of God, The Father Almighty, of the Virgin Sovereign Mother (...) our work is open, my brothers and my sisters”(12).

This elocution was introduced in the doctrine by Raimundo Irineu Serra, and according to words of Daniel Serra, Mestre’s Nephew, it was received by the hands of the Sovereign Virgin Mother, in an unknown date, being always used in the closing of the sessions and never in the opening. When Daniel Serra arrived in Acre, in 1957, this elocution was already being used in the works. In the old centers that follow the liturgy left by Mestre Irineu, as well as in its ramifications, the sessions are just opened with the "Nine Prayers" and a "Hail Holy Queen". In case of the hinários services a rosary is also prayed, before the usual prayers, so much in the opening as in the closing of the session (16).
