SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to analyze Madrinha Dodô's house, located on Rua do Horto, in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte - CE, conceiving it as a hybrid religious space of multiple symbols, beliefs and ritual practices. In this perspective, our objective seeks to understand the relationship and religious rituals between the Pankararu Indians and the mourners in the healing prayer in the pilgrimage of the dead. The theoretical references of this work started from two central categories, the first popular Catholicism or plural Catholicism, in the terms of Sanchis (2001), the "mixture", mixes with elements of the Romanized Church, with spiritism, with ethnic rituals, Afro-Brazilians and other beliefs within a religious universe. Just as the popular Catholicism category runs through the work, the second category that moves in the writing is the concept of religious magic-practices to think of the healing rituals at Madrinha Dodô's house as a symbolic space par excellence, in which, the specialists perform the function of significant importance between two worlds, the spiritual and the material. The magical-religious qualities and virtues lead our investigation to popular prayers, among these, those related to the prayer for healing and the practice of blessing, which is configured as a magical-religious ritual at Madrinha Dodô's house. In this scenario, the idea of healing is constantly negotiated, people establish relationships, restructure their experiences of being and being in the world (Rabelo, 2008). It is important to analyze the rituals at Madrinha Dodô's house, considering the effects produced on people who are in search of healing, above all, through the therapeutic-religious dimension in these transports to the world of spirits. The speeches of the interlocutors form a set of interviews and are essential analytical tools for the ethnographic construction of the research, they are the methodological strategies of this dissertation. We reached the understanding that in Madrinha Dodô's house, the villages are found in this hybrid religious space of multiple symbols, beliefs and comprehensive ritual practices in healing therapies. I do not start from just one place, they are places that build the reference of madrinha Dodô, ancestral ethnic identity that connects madrinha Dodô from Aldeia Kalankó (Alagoas), to the village mourners (Kapinawá) and the Indians (Pankararu) from the village of Brejo dos Padres . We cross the narrative transiting through the charms of the enchanted ones and the spirits that circulate between souls and bodies in the ethnic rituals of Madrinha Dodô's house, a religious pluralism part of a tradition that plays a considerable role in the life of the community.
