| Resumo: | The 21st century is a collapsed system, the result of values that were associated with
various currents of Western culture, including the scientific revolution, the Enlightenment
and the Industrial Revolution. This emphasis, supported by the patriarchal civilization
model - the split between nature and culture, established by progress and reason - and
encouraged by the predominance of this culture, led to a profound imbalance in thoughts
and feelings, values and attitudes, and in social, economic and political structures. In the
West, it is not just science, economics and politics that are imbued with the male
paradigm; a society maintains the eternal promulgated by the Judeo-Christian religions
that God was always male (EISLER, 1997; CAMPBELL, 2015). Given this context,
questions may be asked: How does Wicca, a religion centered on the Goddess, that is,
based on a spirituality of the divine feminine, contribute to facing contemporary
challenges? More specifically, we ask: How do adherents of Wicca in Brazil see and
induce these challenges and confrontations? In this panorama, we are interested identify
which practices and experiences enable a response to the crisis of current and ongoing
paradigms. Aware of the multiplicity of challenges and confrontations that make up the
current scenario, we created an interview script that could identify, from the perspective
of Wiccans in Brazil, the most urgent challenges, as well as their practices and
experiences in facing these challenges. The qualitative approach, carried out through a
structured interview script, with open questions, enabled the identification of two major
challenges: the female condition and the ecological and environmental crisis. We
interviewed Wiccan adherents belonging to the Dianic Tradition of Brazil (TDB) and the
Dianic Nemorensis Tradition (TDN). Both are pioneer traditions formed in Brazil and
follow an orientation known as Dianic Wicca, that is, they worship the Goddess and God
in their rituals, the emphasis is on the Goddess though. The field research took place in
São Paulo (SP) and Brasília (DF). In addition to the interviews, we used as a source the
literature produced by Wiccan authors, represented by Brazilian, European and North
American authors. We seek a dialogue with theoretical contributions from authors in the
fields of sociology, anthropology, history, psychology, philosophy, biology and physics.
The argument of this work is that in the Wicca from Brazil resides a movement of
practices and experiences guided by the mythical and the rite, whose cosmovision allows
a search to articulate the conscious feminine and masculine, in the direction of
strengthening the anima in men and women through supporting for women - evoking a
system of partnership; - in celebration with Nature and in magical activism and political
engagement. In this sense, there is an attempt to build other everyday subjectivities,
creators of other ways of living. |
