This text analyzes the self-styled Spiritist press, particularly in the context of republican modernization in São Paulo, between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. In this sense, it makes an inventory of the periodicals and magazines and their different editorial projects, besides presenting the main spiritist intellectuals involved in the edition of these printed matters. These publications were the fruit of the associative activity of spiritists, structured in the model of societies of ideas, and that sought to highlight the doctrine from the articulation of a diversity of debates related to religious, scientific or cultural aspects of spiritism, to relations with other spiritualist doctrines of the period, and to social and political issues of the time, establishing relationships of sociability with other anticlerical groups and advocating social transformation projects.
