- The ritual starts casually.
- Men scroll over to the Shaman's fire and help themselves to bowls of the liquid.
- No man looks at another's face.
- They sit quietly, then they rise, and leaning on a special cane, go to vomit.
- Then they sit again.
- The men start singing and their visions come.n
- At first, there visions are of scrolls, vine like curlicues.
- When they arrive, the men grow calmer and sing in unison.
- The whole event ends slowly in the early morning hours as men come out of their trance and one by one leave the logs and go to bed in their own houses.
