Current paper deals with traditional knowledge on blessings, cures and power to cure found in Palmeira PR Brazil and the region around the municipality. Blessings and their relationship with the sacred are correlated to the culture of communal land system peoples and to the history of mule transportation in southern Brazil. Oral history is the methodology employed to understand the cultural world of the communal land system peoples through Foucauldian genealogy for the analysis of cure and curing power discourses [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
