return in voodoo contact with a chicken
purifies the body preparing it for birth
still a Seba seems lifeless a priestess
calls on the spirits to release their
hold on her body

spirit power overwhelms worshipers a
series of ceremonies purifies a Simba’s
physical self with his daughter revived

that my daughter is resurrected I can
relax the end of my body is revived from
the world of the dead and now the spirit

tradition a Seba still need years of
training but in time she will take her
place as a spirit medium
