Priestess

The sacerodotise, like the diviner and the healer or the sorcerer, is responsible for establishing contact with the spiritual forces and beings of the afterlife. A beneficial force that emerges from your person that serves to relieve, heal, or instruct. These great initiates possess spiritual faculties that allow them, like the Witches, to heal the sick of the body and spirit thanks to their great knowledge of natural remedies and their psychological capacity, to unfold or leave the physical body, to manifest themselves at the same time in two different places, phenomenon of bilocation, to read thought, to interpret with clairvoyance, but always to do good. They are at the disposal of those who seek help and act in the light of day, it is accessible to everyone. However, to speak of witch in Africa is to speak of black magic, of the evil arts to harm and harm someone, of the invocations to the devil and of the practice of satanic rites to achieve their evil ends. They act at night and at treason by demanding a high remuneration from their client or by causing him to remain subject to them for life. In many African ethnic groups, there is a mask to remove the sorcerers from the village. There may be confusion between French and Spanish terminology. Brujo is the “sorcier”, although this word is usually translated into Spanish, wrongly in the case of Francophone Africa, by sorcerer. What we understand in Spanish as “sorcerer” would be rather in French “feticheur”, whose translation does not exist in our language.

Ceremonies are often quite shrewd, depending on the purpose to be pursued. The stringhead is meant to impress your customers. He appears sitting on a stool. He has bracelets carved on his wrists. Eyes painted with kaolin and mouth open in imprecise attitude. On the chest a kind of resin, other sacrificial substances. Dark patina.
