For example, one night after the holiday hostess finished tidy dining utensils;bowl suddenly fell from her hands, she began to tremble, her hair down.They began to ask what it.It turned out it was possessed by the spirit of old aunt sorcerer who forgot to invite to the feast.This broadcast aunt mouth hostess.To expel from the body possessed by the spirit of the witch, and had to call the caster witch promise to make amends for the damage it hurt.
other uncontrollable trances occur by the will of the gods or the spirits of people who died not of natural causes, and means that the person who experienced them, can be professionally obsessed - medium or shaman.If such a choice of spirits will undergo special training under the guidance of a mentor, he will be able to successfully control the trances, and after the initiation could provoke them or stop at will during the ceremony.
For example, a medium tribe Dangra caste tailors musicians was invited to the board in one family.He posted on the brass plate gifts to their gods-patrons of rice, money, a vessel with clean water and incense.Then sat with his legs crossed and his hands folded, focused, calling their masters, spirits guarding his body, and the spirits that have to master it.He began to tremble, slowly at first, then harder and harder.One of the gods, in this case Kahlo Beer, entered into it.Cross-legged, he jumped a meter high and fell to the ground.
Then God began to speak through him, answering questions from the audience: first owner of the house - with respect to illness of his son, then the neighbors came, too, for advice or simply out of curiosity (in the absence of trans cinema is no less fascinating sight).
After the session, the medium himself showered with rice, thus like to buy off the gods, and returned to its normal state.The landlord gave him, gave him a bushel of rice and a few rupees.Day worked as a medium, as well as all.And those few hours of the night gave him the extra money.
