This paper interrogates the image of women in the discourse of religious and miracle practices in Morocco, using comparative data and field studies. This offers an opportunity to analyze its justificatory patriarchal logic, which over the course of history has been able to consolidate this picture as irrefutable in both the popular and the well-informed cultural context. Furthermore, this paper examines studies concerned with religiosity in Morocco have painted a picture of women far from committed to religious slogans and, by contrast, involved in magical acts and worship of tombs and shrines.
