The shaman
"A shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing." - Wikipedia.
I was shown into a small hut in a Hmong settlement where, in the near darkness, a hooded and blindfolded figure was chanting while jigging on a plank and being slowly rotated by a helper. In front of him was a small candle with various offerings while, at the rear of the hut, a dead pig was mounted on a frame (see inset) above another flame.
I took my photos and quietly made my departure so that I did not disturb them, though I would like to have known what event had brought about the ceremony.
