OMG!
I travel to Trang annually to attend a local festival simply called "Por Tha" which is directly translated as "Father Grandfather." The festival is to praise the 3 ancestral spirits (oversoul) that the people of Trang believe most of them originated from. In these annual festivals, a host is chosen for a lifetime and lends their body for one of the ancestral spirits to enter and speak to the elders.
I know of a smiliar festival somewhere in Nigeria. Where a host is also chosen and lends his body for the spirits to possesses and act through.
It's a scary festival to watch. It's called Isi- Atu festival.
The chosen host becomes totally unaware of his environment and also loses control of himself. To me it's pure Voodoo.
You captured every detail. Nice one.
The rock formation has no sharp edges and the algae on the surface made the perfect lubricant, preventing injuries.
I'd love to visit Nigeria and that festival one day sooner or later. I understand that voodoo is a term used for powers that derive from negative purposes but for every yin there is the yang. Magic is magic. There is good and evil in it on this grid we live on. There is no doubt in my mind that magic exists, we just used different terms for it these days such as astral projection or the law of attraction. I've seen Qigong masters heat their hands to the point that it burns my skin on touch. For me, it's awesome just witnessing the impossible. I look forward to traveling to Nigeria one day soon to learn about the awesome powers that exists there :) Thanks for coming by and hope you have a great week :)
