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:

Sīka pay ay mayilutlutkanka’s sūmingising 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.
