| Sumario: | The purpose of this work was to investigate the differences and similarities of the Umbanda cults through interviews in four Umbanda temples (located in Belo Horizonte and Contagem) and the identity of each. The analogy with the muiraquitã myth improves the understanding of unity in diversity represented by the different Umbanda temples investigated. Recurring information was sought in the micro / private sphere capable of reflecting Umbanda's practices at the macro / general level, in addition to the importance of mutual respect and the rescue of the collective memory of the different narratives. Through the follow-up of each story it was possible to observe how in the process of syncretism of Umbanda, there were losses, adaptations and gains that generated the specificities of this genuinely Brazilian religion. |
