insertive rites. Here, itīs explained the rite, where some human
substances are inserted into the tree; the juice of the red fruit of tree, he
has to consume it( because itīs like copulating with a woman) and also the
mixture of semen with the wormīs juice.

and white milk inside pandanus nuts(who are also used as hallucinogens) with
semen.
There
are 5 images, but only has colour the red fruit, to attract our attention. They
represent roots of tree; fruit and nuts and the mask. Nevertheless, the mask is
