MAYILUTLUTKAN

Mayilutlutkan is a ceremony given by the Kankanay against headache. The

mambunong takes a camote in his left hand and holds it against the

head of the sick person. He holds a knife in his right hand against

the camote, while praying as follows:

Sika pay ay mayilutlutkanka's sumingising di agou,

mayilutlutkanka's pangawan di agou, mayilutlutkanka's kalibiana

agou, mayilutlutkanka's dimana agou, mayilutlutkanka's gomabisana

agou, ya mayilutlutkanka's kapat aana; ado ut diya tubum dan dangau

ay nay ta pangamoak di kasika ya dagosak iyuan sika's manokmo.

You the mayilutlutkan of the morning sun, you the mayilutlutkan

of the midday sun, you the mayilutlutkan of the afternoon sun,

you the mayilutlutkan of the setting sun, you the mayilutlutkan

of the time the cocks first crow, and you the mayilutlutkan of

the dawn; may a complete cure be made by the dangau so that you

will show yourself to me, and I will make you a gift of a chicken.

The mayilutlutkan corresponds to the Nabaloi nansaang.
