Living w/ the Maasai – Watching their ‘Blood & Milk’ Ritual
Go Back to Index
Living among the Maasai in Kenya and observing their relationships to the land, animals, each other, and the spirit world was a fascinating anthropological adventure. The photo depicts a ritual of drawing blood from a cow and mixing it with her milk to come up with the ultimate 'protein shake'.
The Maasai, with their thoughtful and
inquisitive observations of land and
animals, trees and the spiritual plane
awakened me anthropologically,
made my soul sing in the quiet moments
and made me celebrate
the human spirit in some lullabies.
