About the Author

At the age of seven Candita Gual was introduced to the realm of spiritualism. She continued to seek more insight, and became acquainted with the writings of Allen Kardec. The depth of Mr. Kardec?s belief, and his gift for sharing his discoveries profoundly affected her desire to learn more. Upon her initiation into the Yoruba way of life in 1978 she found herself surrounded by individuals whose participation in this community required a deeper understanding of spiritualism and its? workings, who often used Mr. Kardec?s book Colleccion de Oraciones Escojidas. In her experience, this book is a valuable resource for working with the spirit world. Although it is available in many languages, she and many others found the English translation to be confusing. As such, she has attempted to produce a more comprehensive and user friendly version.

Ms. Gual resides in New York City. She holds a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education/Sociology from Keuka College, and a Masters in Organizational Management/Adult Education from Fordam University. Her career has taken her from elementary school teacher to organizational manager in defense of affirmative action rights. She is currently an administrator within the higher education system.
