My dad got a shamanic 'limpieza'--a cleansing--at the 10 de Agosto market in Cuenca during his visit to Ecuador this summer, complete with the herb, egg, and sugar cane liquor treatment. It's hillarious yet an interesting ritual from a cultural perspective.

  • @fusionfreakdrummer--it was at the 10 de agosto market in cuenca, one of the most traditional in that city. yeah, it's been remodeled, but it's far from a mall. research that market. it's funny to hear all of you all debating this when neither of you have been there. i appreciate the comments, however. the video is actually a really good example of the practice.

see all

  • Hello does anyone notice the kiddies in the background?

  • @ANTIAMERICANCRUSADE yes this is very clear to me? thats actually my point aswell its her calling bless her soul. my point again is all the cement in the back round! you dont seem to see that? you clearly have a big ass chip on your very small shoulder aswell! let me tell you a little secret i am an Awo Ifa or babalawo wich means i do work very similar to this,and it too is my calling. i have been to africa many times and many many areas of the world. so please save your insults for another...

  • @ANTIAMERICANCRUSADE she should be able to live as her ancestors did in balance with the earth and the truth of spirit....

  • @ANTIAMERICANCRUSADE ok store area center of comerce, what ever u want to call it mu poiint is this is not in a village or jungle were the spirits live thru the people see.....i feel like this good woman who is conected to spirit has to go to this western place and do this for money to survive! see my point....

  • this is actually a very interesting video, a cleaning such as this is very serious to see this happening in a mall in s.a. is sad it takes the truth of spirit and rob's it of all the good that is present! many who study culture and people would find this a very inside look into some serious culture...

  • God she's really whacking him! LOL!

  • She would become extremely popular if the next day he had a full head of hair.

  • Cute baby in the background.

  • haha that was great, i wonder if the shaman could have skipped the egg and used your dads head. lol just kidding 

  • Your dad was a good sport and I thought his wink at 1:29 was awesome. Love the way he kind of jumps when she spits on him at 1:49 and the funny little giggle in the background.
