Abstract

There are fourteen steps to the Şorokè peji from the gate. The knees are bent and bent until very close to the floor and in a sequence of three movements, nine palms are offered. The paô opens the cosmos. To enter the field of the  crossroads, Eşú's address, it is necessary to respect the rumbé. From then on, we  interact with the Deities that play a preponderant role as references to be consulted; in a row; observed. We are together, constituting us as people in the world. In the space of feeling, thinking.  Interser and Sentirpensar are  constitutive elements of the terreiro's episteme. In the terreiro, science,  hierarchical, is circular. Composed of multiple elements. For each field of knowledge, it is necessary to go through  different methodological paths. Each sequence in the paô follows a path that  forms the crossroads and they all obey a guideline - what is offered and received must be distributed. The crossroad is an intersection.
