Who was Mestre Irineu?
Raimundo Irineu Serra, also known as Mestre Irineu, was the founder of a syncretic religion known as Santo Daime.
Irineu was raised Roman Catholic. He later moved to the state of Acre where he worked on rubber plantations. In the city of Brasiléia, which is close to the border of Bolivia, he was in contact with other people from his home state of Maranhão as well as Bolivians, from whom he learned the use of ayahuasca. In these early experiences he encountered the Virgin Mary and began receiving the guidance which developed into a religious doctrine throughout the remainder of his long life.
