The transformations in Afro-Brazilian religions have been the central focus of extensive literature in the fields of anthropology and sociology of religion, emphasizing both ritualistic and liturgical changes, as well as in terms of the public. In this work we analyse the phenomenon of the incorporation of elements of New Age in some Umbanda temples in the city of Florianópolis (Brazil), analysing how this process occurs and what it reveals to us in terms of the transformations of AfroBrazilian religions. The research demonstrates that this articulation occurs mainly with the use of alternative therapies in Umbanda temples and the substitution of some aspects of Afro-Brazilian religions, such as ritual animal sacrifice, with new elements.
