The present theses has the objective of analyzing Santo Daime s mirações on a psycho-social focus. Based on social representation theory and social psychology, an analysis of the altered state of consciousness know as miração , which is a result of the ritualistic use of the Santo Daime tea, will be made . A qualitative research methodology was used, which involved extensive bibliographical research, as well as semi-structured interviews with members of the daimist group known as Cefluris, or linha do Padrinho Sebastião . Based on this material, an analysis was made such as to better understand the miração articulated with the social practices and the doctrine s members speech. The Daime is a relatively small religion, with few followers, but one which draws attention of several research areas for the reason of having as a central point the experience of the tea with psychoactive properties, and also to a series of ecumenist, popular and ecological practices and speeches. Also in focus is the relation with other religions and knowledge, which, during the course of History, articulate the human being with the so called Master Plants, or entheogen plants. The social psychology and the study of religions can, without a doubt, contribute a lot to widen the comprehension in this area of great importance to the contemporaneous world.
