Abstract

The article analyzes the calundus in Bahia during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Based on the process of Grácia, denounced as a ceremonialist, and letters written by commissioners of the Holy Office, this research aims to demonstrate that these rituals were present in daily life, despite inquisitorial repression. From the analysis of these cases, it will be shown that Afro-Brazilian beliefs were not isolated occurrences on the margins of society, but an integral part of society and therefore able to influence the religious experience of different ethnic and social groups.
