The nourishing god and the cannibalistic sorcerer : Place-spirits among the northern Magar (Nepal)
Two ceremonies observed for two contrasting land divinities in a shamanistic society in western Nepal condition the community's prosperity. The first divinity, Bhume, is domesticated through sacrifices made by the chief, a descendant of the clan that founded the village. The second divinity is portrayed as a sorcerer : once a year, shamans extract it from under the soil where they had buried it ; and once freed, this spirit hunts down a human prey. In this way, the sorcerer dramatically manifests the telluric force that has been pacified in the form of Bhume. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
