Abstract: This research aims at identify possible clues, by stilistic analyses, which might recognize analogies between the short story My uncle the Iauaretê by author Guimarães Rosa and Ideology and beliefs of Xamanismo and Umbanda, Brazilian acceptances based on faith. This study also aims at analyse lexical and semantical points, relating to languages, rituals and beliefs based on faith of the main character in this short story. This research is based on Semantical and Lexical theories with a mix of trajectories experienced by Guimarães Rosa in his professional career and personal with implicit hints that, intentionally or not, were left in a life with unique experiences in order to promote an interaction with his readership, making them a key point for an interpretative and multiple conclusion of the short story.
