Men/Divinities of the Forest : Through the Mirror in the Central Nepal
In Gulmi, "forest divinities", or "little divinities", are a class in the pantheon. The forest space attributed to them comprises all categories of space thought to be "low". Supernatural figures are associated with each category. Peasants' conceptions of these divinities and their means of appeasing them are described. Conceived to be the wild alter ego of people, the forest divinities share the terrestrial world with mankind. These two groups compete and clash. They are seen as being on opposite sides of a mirror, a precarious and dangerous threshold that people risk crossing toward the wild state. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
