This article talks about the influence of religions on our bodies, first the Catholicism that in the pretext of saving barbarian and heretic souls tried to catechize Indians and blacks to tame their bodies, and of the black people that bring with them a strong ancestral culture centered in the body for Brazil. During the colonization and diaspora happened a strong cultural encounter that constructed a proper way to be in the world of Afrodescendant. The text itself is based on mythology, since myth is the primordial way of being in the world and popular culture in the songs of Carlinhos Brown and Clara Nunes. He discusses the sexuality of the orishas, their meeting in umbanda with the gypsies, speaking of Maria Padilha, the queen of seduction, who is one of the most popular female exus. The sensuality in person, Maria Padilha will be part of umbanda and most candomblés, being responsible for the problems of love. The text also deepens concepts such as ancestry, cultural communication, exurian inversion and identity.
Keywords: Ancestry, Cultural Communication, Sensuality, Sexuality.
