Magical and mystical figures emerge throughout the old house’s life. In this article, we build on theorists such as Silva M. (2019, 2022), Scholem (2021), Novinsky (2015) and Cascudo (2001) to seek to relate mystical events narrated by Campos to Jewish and Kabbalistic traditions that were mixed into the countryside culture, especially in its feminine perspective, during the mestizaje that the New Christians went through in Brazil. We can see that the characteristic customs of the countryside carry elements of Sephardic culture. Using Pinheiro's theory of mestizaje (2020), we conclude that there is a mestizo mysticism, with the incorporation of Jewish-Cabalist elements into popular religiosity, as narrated in Campos’s novel.No romance A Casa (2011) [1998], a narradora é um casarão de fazenda sertanejo, que constrói seu conhecimento através da observação cotidiana dos seus moradores e dos cicios dos ventos que lhe sopram as novidades do mundo. Figuras e situações mágicas e místicas surgem no desenrolar da vida da velha casa. Neste artigo, buscamos relacionar eventos místicos narrados por Natércia Campos com tradições judaicas e cabalistas que se misturaram à cultura popular, principalmente em seu viés feminino, ao longo da mestiçagem pela qual passaram os cristãos-novos no Nordeste brasileiro à luz de teóricos como Silva M. (2019, 2022), Scholem (2021), Novinsky (2015) e Cascudo (2001). Percebemos que costumes característicos do sertão carregam elementos da cultura sefardita. Com a teoria da mestiçagem de Pinheiro (2020), concluímos que há a existência de um misticismo mestiço, com a incorporação de elementos judaicos-cabalistas na religiosidade popular e que são narrados no romance de Campos.Portal de Periódicos da UFU2023-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/letraseletras/article/view/7090510.14393/LL63-v39-2023-22Letras & Letras; Vol. 39 (2023): Thematic Sections: 1.
