This work is an attempt to undertake a initial exploration of the subject property in the terreiros of Candomblé, where I try to provide some lines to deepening of the debate, not only in the field of the studies of Anthropology of Economy, but of their interfaces with the field Religion Studies. The concept of ownership appears here so intimately linked with aspects of the Cosmological prepared and is translated into social relationships mediated by religious categories as clientela, ajuda, família de santo and axé (Baptista 2007). The ethnographic material is organized in the form of social scenes, according to the proposition of F. Weber (2001). The social scenes that illuminate the discussion on the property address issues involving the possession and ownership of objects on the land where they are installed the candomblés.
