In the mitology of the Quimbanda-Sertaneja, we knew the sense and the meaning, the function and the importance of the myth lived through words - spoken, played and re-employed in rituals. From the oral narratives we identified cultural elements in the symbolic construction of Exu-Sertanejo, representing a synthesis of the sertanejo identity, supporter of Afro-Sertaneja religiosity. The sertanejo ethos, as custom and habit, that is a historical and social reality, is present in the representation of a supernatural entity, giving it unique characteristics of sertaneja culture. This work presented the re-meaning or the metamorphosis of the Exu in Exu-Sertanejo
