As Spirits Speak: Interaction in Wauja Exoteric Ritual by Christopher Ball

“…I examine a Wauja (Xingu Arawak) ritual session of « bringing spirits », wherein a sick person is aided by a conversation he has with the spirit-monsters that are afflicting him, whom he hopes by virtue of this very conversation to turn from pathogenic to guardian spirits. The conversation is facilitated by a group of representatives from the village, consociates who agree to speak as spirits, and in so doing enter into a contractual relationship of exchange with the sick person and the spirits that involves various obligations and rewards that may span a lifetime, in sickness or in health. …”
