Sacred rituals. Seeing off spirit of initiated person
This action was radically different from all the variety of dances and rituals that we happened to see in Côte d'Ivoire. This is a real ritual of seeing off the spirit of a deceased initiated person. Usually such rituals are not shown to tourists. It cannot be held in the village without a reason, because the shamans who agreed to show it to us chose a place in the forest. After the end and our departure, a ritual of purification with a sacrifice was to take place in that clearing.
