Doctrinary Princesses, an Egyptian pyramid in its border and an arrow format bridge in the center of the water. Vale Do Amanhecer has a primary school of more than 200 students, under government control, restaurants, an auto repair shop, and a bookshop specializing in religious and spiritualist works. Doctrine The Vale do Amanhecer practices a syncretic religion which incorporates various elements of Christianity, Spiritism, Umbanda, religious beliefs in UFOs and esoteric beliefs. Two kinds of people attend to Vale Do Amanhecer: Mediums and Visitants (also called patients). The mediums are basically divided into two basic groups in The Dawn Valley: Aparás and Doctriners. Between three and four thousand people visit Vale Do Amanhecer every day seeking help for their spiritual or personal problems. The Mediums wear special robes with bright colours. Most of the mediums are considered the reincarnation of an extraterrestrial giant people, "the Equitumans" (also known as Jaguars), who supposedly landed on the Earth 32,000 years ago, and later returned in successive reincarnations in civilizations like the Hittites, the Ionians, the Dorians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Mayans etc. The Equitumans supposedly established themselves in the region of the Andes and are buried in Lake Titicaca, which was formed by a tear of the Glowing Star. According to the cosmology of the followers of the doctrine, Tia Neiva commanded the spiritual mission of this people on the Earth following the orders of the supreme commander, Pai Seta Branca (Father White Arrow), who seems to be an amalgam of several indigenous figures, Incan and American-Indian. Valley of the Dawn members perform spirit-healing rituals called “trabalhos,” or works, daily at their main temple outside Brasilia.
