Getting "blessed" by the Shaman
Photo
4 yrs ago
We paid $5 to go to the Shaman's house in the jungle and learn about what he does and the type of plants he uses. Then he gave each of us a blessing, which involved him spitting some fragrant, oily stuff on our heads and rubbing it into our hair, while making a bizarre growling sound.
This was all done in complete darkness (with the exception of the camera flash), so it was quite a surprise when I finally had my turn. My friend Amanda had her blessing before me, and knew what would be happening at this moment, hence the perfect-timed photo. |
