The environmental disaster that occurred in Mariana (MG) which produced a gigantic mudslide of mining waste can be seen as an expression of the putrefactio (putrefaction) which exists with relation to the ethics and values in the Brazilian culture. The accident happened in a city which has a female name demonstrating the repressed and ignored aspects within the Brazilian soul, which are represented in the form of mud. This article analyzes the event and proposes an invitation for society to use this mud to shape a new consciousness. Maria cannot be ignored. We must rediscover our identity and our destiny through the study of our history, our mythology, in the confrontation with the shadow and in the contact with our collective unconscious, and with the help of the anima.
