who picks up any snake that
falls from the dancers mouth.
These are followed by other
trios until all the priests have
passed the bower and all the
snakes have been used.
The head priest then draws a
circle about five feet in diameter
on the ground with sacred meal
and into this the dancers drop
their burdens in one wriggling
mass. The entire line of dancers
then passes this heap in a rapid
gait and each thrusts his hand
into the squirming mass and
picks up all he can carry. They
are then carried down and de-
posted at the foot of the mesa.
This ends. the public ceremonials.
The publication rite, however,
occurs that night at which all
the priests drink an ematic,
which is followed by violent vom-
lring over the sides of the mesa.
Many people wonder why the
priests are not bitten and do not
lie from the wounds of the rat
