As we read on in “Aleph” we read that Paulo and Yao
are visiting a Shaman who can talk with the wife of Yao,
who past away several years ago,
and by whom Yao was in an earlier stage of his life.
Hilal
has asked if she could go with them,
but
the tradition of the shamans doesn’t allow women at their rituals
so Hilal has to stay alone accompanied by a few other women.
Yao says to her:
‘You cannot go with us, but stay here on the shore of the lake.
You will be part of the ritual …
just open your mind and you will feel if you were really there’.
Hilal accepts that she cannot go and stays on the shore.

Past traditions hold
women support the lonely
feeling the unknown
.
Men’s rituals
women only imagine
seeing the unknown
.
rites back in the day
women unworthy to share
alone together
