They form groups of followers of the spirits. The rite implemented borrows its fabric from marriage, a long process that extends over a woman's entire life. The follower 'marries' the bush spirits according to an original marriage arrangement without sexuality. Heis bound to these bush spirits by a prenatal promise, his symbolic parents, who guided his soul and formed his character. 106 ; 082
