Contents 1. Living sanctuaries. 2. Shamanic Harpoonings. 3. Tightening the threads. 4. Iconographic section. 5. Selected bibliography. The Shaman who entertains the Gods by dancing and music is the same man who entertains the audience through the more performative aspects of the seance. Here it is ordinary people who exploit the situation coming to attend a performance that in primis has been organized for the Gods. A singular performance to which besides the chance of direct witness of the epiphany of Gods spirits and demons is added the no less stimulating possibility of witnessing human destinies suspended over an uncertain fate. 140 pp.
