Ẹbọ Òrìṣà: uma análise da liturgia Yorùbá na ontologia do ẹbọ ẹ̀jẹ̀

Abstract

The present work introduce us a pragmatic reflection on the socio-religious phenomenon of the Yorùbá culture that exist in the religion and philosophy of Candomblé. It is a qualitative research from the symbolic-archetypal perspective, a possibility to observe and reflect the world, that incorporates the ontological, epistemological and methodological elements of the Jungian psychology paradigm. The work verifies ẹbọ ẹ̀jẹ̀ (blood offering) as a religious phenomenon that is present in the archetype of primeval peoples. Based on Carl Gustav Jung's complex psychology propositions, the dissertation checks archetypal characteristics present in the interaction and harmony between the human being and the Òrìṣà (the divine). The characteristics are in the primitives society who share expressions and archetypal symbols in the religere of the human being with the divinity, to obtain a harmonious relationship between Ọ̀ run and Àiyé. The dissertation uses hermeneutic tools in the idioms of the Yorùbá language, to explain the manifestation of the collective unconscious in the harmonious Ọ̀ run-Àiyé interaction and check that ẹbọ ẹ̀jẹ̀ presents an archetypal ontology of thanks to Òrìṣà in the religion and philosophy of Candomblé. Thus, the dissertation proves that Candomblé is a religion and a philosophy existing in Brazil and must be respected by other religions in the country, especially in the topc of its liturgy.
