The first thing a shaman does is look by name what diseases and lifestyle a person has. Depending on this, she sees how to treat, what herbs to use and what spirits to invoke.

For dinner there will be a lot of food, which as a gift to the gods should be either eaten or given to neighbors. Nothing should be left uneaten. There will also be food on the spirit altar.
