The title of the present work, Foi num tronco duma Jurema, foi na sombra dum Jurema, comes from my life experience in Roça de Angola Onire Cele yard, a religious house that works with Jurema religiosity, where I was charmed by this newest religious practice that has been presented to me, stimulating me to delve myself into researches. Since I was in post-graduation course in Religion Sciences, I had no doubts on making my course completion assignment about such theme. I have realized that, in all my lifetime regarding researches and cultism of many religions from afro-brazilian origins, I have never heard about such religiosity, urging me to research it and understand the reason of such fact. From there, I started to search for many other references about this theme, facing difficulties because the studies regarding Jurema are few and, when there is any material about it, it is related to another religiosity. I have extensively used the material of great researchers about this religiosity such as Câmara Cascudo (1898-1986), Roger Bastide (1898-1974) and Luiz Assunção (2010) to fundament my writings and guide my life experience as a cultist. The quantitative approach has been used to illustrate concretely the functioning of Jurema religiosity and confronted with the historical data based on the aforementioned authors. I have developed, during the research, three chapters. The first is about the origins of Jurema and its masters, the second is about the history of northeastern Jurema and the third is about Jurema in São Paulo state. I conclude that Jurema religiosity nowadays give us a great social and spiritual contribution and that it managed to resist being brought to various states without losing its roots
