| Resumo: | This article’s central concern is the família de santo (spiritual kinship system) in the Candomblé of Recife, Pernambuco. Spiritual kinship is configured as an extensive network of houses, individuals, deities, and ancestors linked through two recognized types of relationships: one of blood, the other spiritual. The distinction (and not opposition) between these two forms reveals the fundamental aspect of the relationship between these two terms, creating a disposition that is replicated at different levels and in which blood and spiritual kinship are conceived as coextensive. |
