Blood Dance
Descripton: The Blood Dance allows a spirit to communicate with a living relative. They perform this ritual for people in exchange for money or favors. The houngun must dance and chant for two hours, calling forth the right spirit and entreating all other ghosts to leave the area. (As usual, the power of this ritual means nothing to Baron Samedi should he choose to manifest himself.) While dancing, the vampire pours colored sands and ocean salt on the ground in a precise pattern and then makes the link between the living person and the deceased associate. If successful, the wraith “appears”within the houngun’s sand-sigiland the living person can communicate with her for one hour. Failure means the spirit could not be contacted.
