===Santo Daime===
[[Santo Daime]] is a [[Syncretism|syncretic]] religion founded in the 1930s in the Brazilian [[Amazon rainforest|Amazonian]] [[States of Brazil|state]] of [[Acre State|Acre]] by Raimundo Irineu Serra,<ref>[http://www.mestreirineu.org/galeriamestre.htm Mestre Irineu photos]</ref> known as [[Mestre Irineu]]. Santo Daime incorporates elements of several religious or spiritual traditions including [[Folk Catholicism]], [[Kardecist Spiritism]], African [[animism]] and [[Indigenous peoples of Brazil|indigenous]] South American [[shamanism]], including ''[[vegetalismo]]''.

Ceremonies&nbsp;&ndash; ''trabalhos'' (Brazilian Portuguese for "works")&nbsp;&ndash; are typically several hours long and are undertaken sitting in silent "concentration", or sung collectively, dancing according to simple steps in geometrical formation. Ayahuasca, referred to as [[Daime]] within the practice, which contains several psychoactive compounds, is drunk as part of the ceremony. The drinking of Daime can induce a strong [[vomiting|emetic]] effect which is embraced as both emotional and physical purging.
