Legends Of Forest Spirits
This indigenous community of Sri Lanka have a deep spiritual connection to nature. They worship yakhu spirits, believed to protect the community and aid in hunting, rock honey gathering, and healing. The Rahu Yakku, derived from Sinhalese demons, is invoked for protection, while dangerous spirits from rocky hilltops bring disease. The kiriammas, or “grandmothers,” are revered as local deities. At the heart of these beliefs is the kapurale, a shaman who communicates with the spirit world, leading dances and exorcisms.
