Description

"The emotional atmosphere during the seance is ambiguous. At times the crowd is silent, and the women in particular show their awe and even fear, especially when the tiger's roar is heard. A few minutes later, the mood may change. The halak-and it must be remembered that he is now a chinoi-jokes with the crowd, and will even ask for a cigarette. In truth, the panok ceremony is partly a religious occasion and partly a public spectacle, or even a form of entertainment. The mood of the crowd changes with the nature of the questions asked."
