Lustral hot H2O bathing ritual was something which I had tried to see final yr at Choor Su Gong Naka Shrine but unfortunately it was began to rain!
On arrival at that spot were ii bowls of unlike liquids inward front end of the Shrine bubbling whilst people sat to a greater extent than or less the exterior - some performing a ceremony inward the Shrine together with some exactly waiting.
At an appointed fourth dimension the drum began to last hitting at an always increasing rate.
What looked similar the Head Mah Song was taken into a trance together with possessed, flags seat on his dorsum together with thence to a greater extent than drums were hitting together with cymbals crashed.
Meanwhile a white pulverisation was poured into both bowls together with thence crumpled upward blessed newspaper added - this is the same papers which are seat nether the legs of the 'furniture' inward the shrines.
The Ma Song are all brought nether possession together with are brought into the front end of the shrine.
It is at this betoken where at that spot are a give away of collection of branches are placed on the tabular array betwixt the tables - I create non know whether this is important?
At a prescribed fourth dimension some of the Ma Song selection upward the branches, seat them inward the boiling H2O together with thence splash the drips over their ain backs together with over people watching.
At this betoken I was aware that Female Mah Song were present, they did non conduct maintain purpose but exactly watched the activities.
This continued for almost xv minutes together with thence 1 of the Mah Song dipped his manus into the H2O - it was clearly hot - together with removed orangish threads which he gave to the people surrounding the shrine.
Focus was thence turned to the 2nd boiling liquid - which was non the same. It was boiling together with had branches inward it equally good together with was clearly much a much heavier liquid.
At this betoken I watched some of the liquid existence removed - it was oil? - together with poured onto a saucer. It was clear that at that spot were some people sitting inward chairs surrounding the ceremony together with were at that spot for something.
A Mah Song thence proceeded to communicate inward actions amongst the person. He thence poured the fossil oil on his hands together with the trunk together with began to massage it over the body. The people inward the chairs were waiting to last touched past times the Mah Song - wow this surely was unlike - almost a religious thing? I could uncovering zilch almost this ceremony.
After almost 10 people were taken assist of I chose to operate out - whilst many people were waiting for their plow - surely something believed in.
