In the Andes, A shaman uses a cuy (type of guinea pig) as the transfer object. He\/she rubs the cuy all over the patient&#8217;s body, then kills the cuy and investigates its internal organs. If the healing is successful, tumors and other signs of illness are discovered in its organs and\/or tissues. In the Phillipines, psychic surgeons kneed and probe their patient&#8217;s bodies to find and remove signs of disease which they pull out in long, bloody, fleshy strips.<\/p>\n<p>I want to make my own healing ritual. I like guinea pigs, and I loved <a href=\"http:\/\/daddytypes.com\/2007\/05\/02\/are_toys_from_y2k_really_vintage_gus_gutz_harry_hairball_by_rumpus.php\">those Rumpus toys<\/a> from the dotcom days. My idea is to create a stuffed cuy, embellishing it with all the things you&#8217;d like to fix about your body. Top on my list: 20 to 30 pounds of fat, ensomnia, foot cramps, dislocated rib, anxiety, and a general malaise that visit me from time to time. My ritual will involve some stomping, tambourine playing and a little whack-a-mole session with my new furry friend and a rubber mallet. I will then prominently display my sacrificial rodent prominently in my house to daily remind me not to eat or stress so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many cultures have healing rituals that involve transferring an illness from the patient to another object in order to remove it from the patient&#8217;s body.
