| Sumario: | Abstract: Objective: the article investigates the healing practices linked to the religious framework in the municipality of Cehegín, focusing on the symbolic analysis of the healing rituals of the "evil eye". Methodology: an ethnographic approach was used based on the performance of a participant observation lasting thirty-three hours and fifteen interviews with healers-shamans. Results: the re sults show the persistence of a series of ritual procedures linked to the prayer of the "evil eye" that serve for issues as diverse as the training of healers or the determination of the etiology, diagnosis, symptomatology or remedy of the condition. Conclusions: the set of rituals carried out in the context of study has as a link the use of liturgical structures that include prayers to Christian deities, and where symbolic elements such as the cross, the three, water or oil, serve to load semantic meaning the ritual healing process. |
