NOTE
After the Cantador has prepared the fire for the fiesta and is ready to commence the ceremonies, he goes up to one of the men pres- ent, whom he has decided upon to be Guar- dian of the Fire (ci'ciktio"t), and addresses him as follows. Thereafter no one but him may touch the fire.
TRANSLATION
It is well that thou, seated there, didst not dream that of a sudden I would speak unto thee. Thou must be possessed by them who are our spirits who have gone before. Look not askance; we beg thy forgiveness. Neither be vain. Thou shalt be possessed of our Father. Thou must here watch for him
1 Possibly should be -anoikar, THEIR PATIO.
