  • YumRelsih is spot on. The spin makes the situations more dramatic than they are. Sri Lanka is an island on a major sea route. It's been a melting pot for thousands of years. colonization and urbanization killed off most of these ancient beliefs. They no longer exist except in fork-lore and legend. 'Devil dancers' are sort of primitive medics rather than the evil voodoo types the doc implies.

  • at 1:36 see the guy on the right? i dont really tink he knows the dance xD

  • I have been doing root work for about 15 years now. Basically it is about deep research and belief also know what your doing. It is also about dark as well as light so be deeply true to what side you choose.

  • @AliceOFKingdom how would you know???????

  • i beleave in herbs not vudoo , magic, and western madicine i see as causes of death well most

  • @BobMonkfish Adding... the only exception to the "ghost" thing in English is that "Holy Ghost" is still occasionally heard... Otherwise the term "ghost" has got itself a very restricted meaning these days.

  • @JasonIsKing227 Webster's etymology of demon - "Middle English demon, from Late Latin & Latin; Late Latin daemon evil spirit, from Latin, divinity, spirit, from Greek daimōn, probably from daiesthai to distribute — more at tide". Evil spirits were originally called "kakodaimon" or cacodemon. It's a bit like "ghost" - in German, "geist" just means a spirit, as in "Zeitgeist". In English, "ghost" means a dead person, usually wrapped in a white sheet!

  • @BobMonkfish I like your comment..its very interesting to me..if you ever get this comment could you please elaborate further on this? I think you may be onto something

  • whats the ROOT OF EVILS i think those fucking bastards like Joesf STALIN, HITLET, the likes of RUssian, MAO ZE DONG all this dictators who killed innocent lIVES for teir sick fucking IDEOLOGIES and GREED FOR POWER ARE THE REAL SICK EVIL s

  • This a lot of reenactment and showmanship ... these traditions are gone.

    But, still I wish the US gov't would use this kind of killing than what it does. It would save us a whole of money (like $1 trillion since 9-11).  And, troops and officers could stay in shape by dancing the "murderous" rituals.
