In a world that is so full of supernatural beings, sources of sicknesses, the shamans have a vital role. They can penetrate into the bodies of animals, of the sick. They know no barriers to communication: they speak the language of the iamyra, the animals, tutelary entities or not. Besides acting in the case of sicknesses, and the loss of objects – which they have the power to locate – among other things, their participation in the pan-community rituals is absolutely necessary. Through them cosmic forces are rebalanced and life is led back to order.
