Material Aspects in the Settlement of Ancestors in a Candomblé House of the Efon Nation

Afro-Brazilian Candomblé, as a religion of resistance, is deeply rooted in the material and spiritual legacy of its ancestors and orixás, who have endured and persevered over time.

No religion can claim ritualistic primacy, as historical evidence reveals material aspects of settlement and worship that point to a reality beyond our immediate worldview—a reality accessible through sensory perception, intuition, and spiritual insight. While African people carried with them the memory and practices of connecting with their ancestors and deities, the establishment of Candomblé in the Americas was made possible by the presence of material elements—minerals, plants, and animals—that facilitated this connection. This underscores the significance of Candomblé’s assentamentos (ritual foundations), which extend far beyond their aesthetic value.

Esse legado material e espiritual não existe de modo separado, não há separação entre o material e o espiritual. Nesse sentido, nenhuma religião poderá reivindicar essa primazia ritualística, pois a cada página que voltamos, viramos, lendo e relendo a história, vamos encontrar seus aspectos materiais de assentamentos e adoração, sinalizando uma outra realidade, que está além da nossa cosmovisão, mas acessível pelas percepções dos demais sentidos e intuição. É verdade que os povos africanos trouxeram o seu modo de conexão com seus ancestrais e divindades pela via da memória, mas o culto só foi possível porque, deste lado do Atlântico, encontraram elementos materiais: minerais, vegetais e animais para se conectar com a sua ancestralidade. Temos aqui a importância dos assentamentos no candomblé, que está muito além da sua importância estética. Eles existem porque, para os fiéis, seria impossível acessar a vida de seus ancestrais e orixás. Esses fundamentos estão no corpo, na mente e nos assentamentos de uma casa de candomblé e na religiosidade de seus adeptos.Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2025-03-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/rever/article/view/6679310.23925/1677-1222.2024vol24i3a11REVER: Journal for the Study of Religion; Vol. 24 No. 3 (2024): Religião Material; 169-183REVER: Revista de Estudos da Religião; v. 24 n. 3 (2024): Religião Material; 169-1831677-1222reponame:Rever (São Paulo.

description Afro-Brazilian Candomblé, as a religion of resistance, is deeply rooted in the material and spiritual legacy of its ancestors and orixás, who have endured and persevered over time. This legacy intertwines the material and spiritual dimensions, which cannot be understood in isolation. No religion can claim ritualistic primacy, as historical evidence reveals material aspects of settlement and worship that point to a reality beyond our immediate worldview—a reality accessible through sensory perception, intuition, and spiritual insight. While African people carried with them the memory and practices of connecting with their ancestors and deities, the establishment of Candomblé in the Americas was made possible by the presence of material elements—minerals, plants, and animals—that facilitated this connection. This underscores the significance of Candomblé’s assentamentos (ritual foundations), which extend far beyond their aesthetic value. These assentamentos are essential, as they enable practitioners to access the lives of their ancestors and orixás.
