Calling the Spirits Posture

Category: Celebration
Position: Standing

Usually done as an invitation to those in the world of spirits, to call them to join in a gathering or a celebration. For example: traditionally done on the afternoon prior to the Masked Trance Dance, to invite the spirits to inhabit the masks created for them. When we invite the spirits to become part of a project, the energy that feeds the project comes from resources deeper than an individual person can provide.
