This article explores the complex relationship between literature and possession cults in Brazil, focusing on how literary representations of spirit possession can influence and shape the practices and beliefs of these cults. Véronique Boyer examines specific examples of literary works that have had a demonstrable impact on possession rituals, arguing that literature acts not merely as a reflection of these practices but as an active agent in their ongoing development and transformation. The study highlights the dynamic interplay between the written word and lived experience in the context of Brazilian religious culture
