Resumo: | In this article we will address the benediction, a common practice in the Amazon and in several traditional communities of the State of Amapá. Women called blessers/healers and/or midwives play a fundamental sociocultural and spiritual role in their communities. The present text deals with a qualitative reflective work that used bibliographical research, documentary analysis, direct observation and interview as a form of investigation. The research revealed that the knowledge of blessers/healers and midwives is threatened with extinction in the state of Amapá, because current generations do not show interest in learning this practice of healing. Another threat consists in the change of religion of some of these women and / or relatives, who, when entering the Neo-Pentecostal evangelical churches, abandon their spiritual gift because it is considered a demonic practice in these environments. |

As mulheres denominadas benzendeiras/curandeiras e/ou parteiras exercem um papel sociocultural e espiritual fundamental em suas comunidades. O presente texto trata-se de um trabalho reflexivo de cunho qualitativo que utilizou a pesquisa bibliográfica, a análise documental, a observação direta e a entrevista como forma de investigação. A pesquisa revelou que o conhecimento das benzendeiras/curandeiras e parteiras está ameaçado de extinção no Amapá porque as gerações atuais não demonstram interesse em aprender essa prática de cura. Outra ameaça consiste na mudança de religião de algumas dessas mulheres e/ou familiares que, ao ingressarem nas igrejas evangélicas neopentecostais, abandonam seu ofício/dom espiritual por ser considerado prática demoníaca nesses ambientes.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2019-06-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/reveducpop/article/view/4591010.14393/rep-v18n12019-45910Revista de Educação Popular; v. 18 n. 1 (2019): Revista de Educação Popular; 196-2081982-76601678-5622reponame:Revista de educação popular (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/reveducpop/article/view/45910/26159Copyright (c) 2019 Elivaldo Serrão Custódio, Piedade Lino Videira, Fábio José do Espírito Santo Souza, João Felype Barreto Ferreirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCustódio, Elivaldo SerrãoVideira, Piedade LinoSouza, Fábio José do Espírito SantoFerreira, João Felype Barreto2023-03-22T16:22:44Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/45910Revistahttp://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/reveducpopPUBhttp://www.seer.ufu.br/index.php/reveducpop/oairevistapopular@proex.ufu.br||revistapopular@proex.ufu.br1678-56221982-7660opendoar:2023-03-22T16:22:44Revista de educação popular (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
