This spell is used, apparently, in all cases where require the intervention of the geniuses of patrons during the drought preparations for the hunt, etc. Sometimes, in the latter case, promises to the dead a piece of meat and brought production in the form of a thanksgiving sacrifice, if hunting will be successful; all believe that the spirits will appear to them in dreams and open where to hunt. Sometimes vedda prepare food in advance, put it in the dried-up bed of the river or in some other secluded place, and then cause on behalf of their deceased ancestors "Come and divide this meal, support us, like you did in life' Come, wherever you were - on a tree, in a rock, or more often, - come!" And they dance folded around the victim, then humming, then chanting spells"
