We see the 5 cardinal points, the healers know as aramara, the place where offerings are left to ask for good health and where deer is sacrificed to the gods that are found in each circle.

The shamans know this place as tau, The mara-acames rising sun inthe inner circle is called tatekie, a place that the shamans visit to leave offerings and gifts for their deceased grandparents who were also mara-acames and shared the same customs. Bowls filled with chocolates, tortillas, tejuino (corn liquor), candles and other gifts are left in the circles that are found in this place. The shaman gives his blessing so that the gods may have more faith in the mara-acame and see that the sacred place is freed of evil that the medicine men had left there, in the form of rieri flower, or flower of death. The shaman performs a ritual, sings and offers the gifts so that the evil is dispersed.
