Vone and I at a baasii ceremony for one of her relatives. A baasii is a cheerful ceremony where offerings are made to spirits and it is usually lead by an elder blessing master. The honored guests have strings tied to their wrists in an effort to help contain the 32 spirits that live inside our bodies and guard our organs. Baasiis are given when people travel, for couples getting married, for new homes... We'll have a baassi ceremony to bless our home after the rainy season in October.
