Abstract
Healing and popular religiosity practices of the Canary Islands have been closely linked to each other, and are now a knitted space with local heritages and foreign beliefs, where religions like Osha and Palomonte and redraw its contours. The legacy of traditional knowledge on plants, minerals and nature is adsorbed by the versatile beliefs arrived from geographies that have had a great reception among the island's population. As a result, new formulas, rituals and methods are created.
