Resumo: | It starts from the conception of shamanism as a set of traditional beliefs and practices that ensure the ability to cure diseases and generate human suffering. For this reason, shamanic practices constitute an essential part of indigenous peoples, presenting a range of dimensions that structure the way of seeing and understanding the world, from the recognition of the existence of spiritual beings to the belief in spirits that grant power to the shamans to do good and evil. This article aimed to describe the shamanic practices of the Chachi people of northern Esmeraldas and identify the relationships between envy and witchcraft. A qualitative approach was used with an ethnographic research design and an explanatory analysis based on the interlocutors' accounts. The results showed that the Chachi population performs shamanic practices with two goals: improving health and doing evil. |

En tal razón, las prácticas shamánicas constituyen parte esencial de los pueblos indígenas, al presentar una gama de dimensiones que estructuran la forma de ver y entender el mundo, desde el reconocimiento de la existencia de seres espirituales, hasta la creencia de espíritus que otorgan poder a los shamanes para hacer el bien y el mal. Este artículo tuvo como objetivo describir las prácticas shamánicas del pueblo Chachi del norte de Esmeraldas e identificar las relaciones entre la envidia y la brujería. Se empleó un enfoque cualitativo con un diseño de investigación etnográfica y un análisis explicativo a partir de relatos de los interlocutores. Los resultados mostraron que la población chachi realiza prácticas shamánicas con dos fines: mejorar la salud y hacer el mal.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2022-03-18info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/380710.1590/SciELOPreprints.3807spahttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3807/7083Copyright (c) 2022 Jony Michel Torres Candelejohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCandelejo, Jony Michel Torresreponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:SciELOinstacron:SCI2022-03-18T16:50:20Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/3807Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2022-03-18T16:50:20SciELO Preprints - SciELOfalse |
