Overview

The Laughter that Heals They say that when an Erê arrives, the terreiro changes. The air becomes lighter, laughter spreads, and even the oldest pains seem to hide behind innocent laughter. It's as if, for a few minutes, the world forgets the weight it carries and remembers how good it is to simply... play. The Erês are like this: they arrive without asking permission, barefoot and with hands full of light. They bring candy, flowers, toys, but the true gift they carry is beyond their grasp: the joy of living , pure and simple, without the fear and haste that we adults allow to take over our souls. Many look at the Erês and see only ""spiritual children."" But children of faith know: behind their laughter and mischievous ways, there are spirits of the highest light , messengers of Oxalá, guardians of purity and hope. They teach what the books don't say: that faith doesn't need to be heavy, that love can be play, and that laughter is also prayer. Umbanda is a religion that embraces all paths. And within this immensity of light and wisdom, the Erês occupy a sacred place: that of healing through lightness . They cleanse what is soiled by sadness, sweep away bad thoughts with their laughter, and ignite in the hearts of mediums a flame that had long been extinguished-the flame of childhood, of purity, of trust. There are those who are moved to see them arriving at the terreiro, their voices high and their eyes shining as if they still see the Heaven from which they came. And there are those who cry not in pain, but in recognition. Because when an Erê speaks, it is the child within us who responds. That child who once believed in everything, who was not afraid of tomorrow, who prayed with all their heart and believed that love could save the world. This book is born from this energy of desire to explain and celebrate the Erês . To show the reader that they are not just entities who dance and distribute candy, but divine forces that teach, heal, and balance the Axé of the terreiros and hearts. Here, you'll find sweet stories and profound lessons . You'll learn the meaning behind every gesture, every color, every verse sung. You'll understand why playing is a form of prayer and why smiling is sometimes the most beautiful way to thank God. May each page of this book take you to a place where laughter is sacred, where love smells of childhood, and where Axé comes wrapped in colorful paper. Because, ultimately, the Erês remind us of what life tries to make us forget: that purity is the most powerful magic , and that being a child is the first step to becoming light. Hail the Children! Hail the Erês ! When the lights of the terreiro calm down and the sound of the atabaques changes rhythm, there is a moment when the air seems to fill with sweet perfume, candies and laughter. That's when they arrive. Small in body, but immense in light: the Erês, the children of Oxalá. The Erês are spirits that represent purity, joy and truth. They are messengers between the spiritual world and ours, and they manifest with the energy of children because it is through innocence that the soul speaks closer to God. They are not the spirits of disembodied children, as many believe - they are highly evolved spirits, who present themselves in this way to teach in a lighthearted way what the seriousness of adults has already forgotten. The Erês belong to the Children's Line of Umbanda, one of the most enchanting and at the same time most profound spiritual lines.
