  abstract = {{M}any {W}est {A}frican societies, notably in the voltaic cultural area, light ritual bush fires every year in places strictly reserved for this purpose. {A}lthough widespread amongst the region's societies, the phenomenon is little researched. {Y}et, this practice is of primary importance in local rituals and social organisations and reveals local representations of nature. {T}his article is based on a comparative study carried out among two societies separated by several hundred kilometres. {T}he study documents variants and constants of this cultural practice.},
