Pajé is a word of Tupi-Guarani origin used to describe the figure of the counselor, healer, sorcerer and spiritual intermediary of an indigenous community.
The pajé is considered one of the most important figures within the Brazilian Indian tribes. According to the typical traditions of these peoples, the shaman is predominantly an ancient man endowed with supernatural powers, with the ability to foresee the future, to expel evil spirits and diseases of the tribes.
Known as a "tribe doctor," the shaman uses massage techniques, baths, and even some surgical practices to heal his patients. In addition, he is an expert on "natural medicines", the basis of medicinal herbs, roots, seeds, animal substances and minerals that help, according to indigenous culture, the cure of various diseases, whether physical or spiritual.
Indigenous peoples believe that the shamans have the gift of communicating with the forest spirits and the gods, as well as having the power to rain and improve the hunting, fishing and harvesting conditions of the tribe.
In the ritual called "pajelança", the shaman uses herbs and plants from the forest to heal or solve spiritual problems of the Indians, coming in contact with ancient spirits.
