The fetish house is in the middle of the village. the village shaman is always near him.
.
The sacrifice is done by killing an animal and letting the blood drain on a sacred rock in the nearby hut. The sacrifices could be for anything like curing a sickness, to have a good crop, and other wishes as financial benefits, a good marriage, and also To put a spell on someone .
Rarely done nowadays , but sometimes people sacrifice their own child for the purpose of financial gain
.
As you could see, the thickness and the size of the roof is an ongoing process. Each year a new layer of straws is added on the top of it.
If we look closely at the walls of the house, we will see carvings of their deities and and animals (representing the animals that were sacrificed at some point)
