i have always heard of stories of the village witch doctor's ritual to appease the angry spirit(s). I decided to put my interpretation of it. i hope you like it, maybe someday i will get to own my studio and do a full a series of rituals that happen in the shadows of Africa based on folklore and myths. an idea in the making though.

Could you tell us more about this ritual? From the photo, I am sure it would make an interesting post!

I agree with Keciah, I'd love to know more about the actual rituals that go along with that really awesome photo.

for those who wanted to know about the ritual, here it goes, this is kind of the basic general formula for most rituals. there is the Oracle, the virgin maiden and the spiritual beings they are trying to appease. according to stories a maiden is chosen by the oracle or sometimes the council of elders of the land, the oracle calls out the spirit or entity to accept the offerings of appeasement the maiden brings although some say many times the virgin maiden are the offerings. These are just stories though although in the local villages many still believe in idol worship and witchcraft and ceremonial cleansing of the land with sacrifices hopefully not human but u never can tell.in end civilisation, education and Christianity has made these happening very rare,
