Abstract
This is a cartographic record that suggests ways to envisage the formation and expansion of the Santo Daime doctrine. From the daimist liturgy and the institutionalized practices in the Santo Daime / ICEFLU, also from their dissent, the narrative mapping the Marian subjectivities to ritualize the use of Marijuana was mapped, and how relations with Exu are conceived and ritualized. We pay attention to the relationship between what is under the tutelage of ICEFLU's egregore and some branches in the state of So Paulo, as well as the houses that split off from this aspect, to examine the resistances responsible for inverting, reorganizing, perverting and recreating the relationships and power dynamics within the institution. Understanding that, when intending the regimes of sayability in a religiosity oralized in songs, it is possible to register the collective statements that the techniques of using Ayahuasca and Cannabis in Santo Daime produce in those who ritualize these uses. Considering that, the paths opened by Exu in Santo Daime continue to be shuffled, we revisit the literature on this subject, and with immersions in the plan of daimist consistency, we tried to highlight the discursive webs claiming recognition and legitimacy in the relationship with the State. The entheogenic experiments undertaken led to the anthropophagy of the one who devours everything, eating and being eaten, offering, eb and pad, proposing to seek the events of vital experience with Exu in the Santo Daime, without ignoring the mismatches and incongruities of what is set.
