RESUMO

Caboclos are spiritual entities widely found in Umbanda pantheon. The aim of this study was to reveal the signification and the psychological extent of caboclos ritual practice in Umbanda. Therefore ethnographic methods and continuous attention to recurrent significants have been combined. Among these significants, some terms were repeatedly noticed as ground, light, water, root, matureness, freedom and ideal, which may carry more than one significance level by means of an image script. Caboclos, as an evidence of their social feature, manifest themselves in a close relation to mediums and to other people and spiritual entities. They interpellate their followers enlightening self-discovery processes that push the completion of potentialities in direction to selfs ideals achievement.
