The Khot Set - A Tool of Muong Mo Father
Keywords:
Abstract
Among the Muong people the shaman who conducts
the funeral rite is called the Mo father. He not only has the
credibility of the villagers, but he also has a special ability - to
communicate with the divine and deceased. It is important that
he has what is called a Khot set to perform this ceremony. The
Khot is a set of sacred objects containing supernatural powers
conveyed by heaven. A Mo father with many Khots would be
both more powerful, to expel the evil ghosts, and more
reputable.
