Abstract
This article concerns a wider research regarding the act of unmaterial beings in a candomblé temple, in which I am an initiated. This text approaches a crisis witnessed by me during the funeral ritual named axexê, when I was “affected” by an intense force providing from the time of the deceased, and that, due to the contribution of the “ontological turn” in Anthropology, it allows me to see the temple under the influence of distinct realities - the living and the dead -, and not through the plurality of the visions of the world. Though, I suggest a re-reading of the anthropological blues concepts, to cover either the ethnographers’ affections in which analysis overcame the relativist premises and considering it as a possibility to create theoretical propositions concerning the effective continuity with the native premises.
