  • Gypsy praying with the pastor, getting rid of their sins.<br />
The gipsies call it "the Cult", it is a kind of pact that they get together twice a week in a common hut to pray for good and exorcise the evil. Inside the hut there´s a heavy atmosphere and things seem to be a blend of fantasy and reality. Tens of gipsies form a circle of screams and cries and you can hear a mix of prays, complains, desperation and guilt. A gipsie women faints on the floor almost like she has been exorcised and she had a demon inside her, slowly with the help of the others she recovers.<br />
The truth is that the cult is a way that gipsies chose to express themselves, something that is very much theirs, just like the sound of the gipsies guitars, shows something very real, the suffering of their spirits.

  • Kids watching fireworks during the Vegetarian Festival in Phuket, Thailand. Every year during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival kicks off. The religious festival in Phuket, Thailand, lasts for 10 days, during which sacred rituals take place in the many Chinese shrines and temples. Walking on fire and climbing ladders with bladed rungs barefoot are two of several rituals believed to bring good fortune. The main purpose of the festival, however, is spiritual cleansing and merit-making. A chosen few among the participants, called warriors, will pierce themselves with objects such as nails, swords, and knives. The piercing takes place in a shrine and is followed by the most spectacular part of the festival, the street processions: just like in a parade they file along the streets of Phuket, with groups of one or several pierced warriors leading a number of people behind them. Onlookers throw fireworks at them as they pass; these are intended to be as loud as possible as the common belief is that this will banish evil spirits. The warriors walk and dance in a trance-like state, unshaken by the noise.
