Abstract
Born in the countryside my father, who was a small landowner, stems from a maraboutic family (shorfa). Eleven of my grandfathers and close paternal relatives have small or big shrines built on them. One of them constitutes a sanctuary where people come from all over the region of Abda for its veneration. This is one of the features of popular Islam. Popular and formal Islam were always intermixed in Moroccan traditional society.
