A chicken, some rice, and a collection of tools are necessary for sacrifice. The mambunong holds the chicken in one hand and squats beside the tapuy and rice while he prays.
He begins his prayer by addressing the amlag of the various settlements from the coast town of San Fernando, La Union, to the place where the ceremony is held; and then requests that if any of them have captured the soul of the sick person, they release it in exchange for the food, tapuy, and tools.
This ceremony is celebrated for the same purpose as the amdag of the Nabaloi; but no sacred story is told by the Kankanay mambunong, nor are the deities addressed. The ceremony is celebrated in the Lepanto town of Mancayan, and probably in other Lepanto towns.
Lawit
Lawit is a ceremony celebrated by the Benguet Kankanay to cause the return of the soul of a living person which has wandered away. One of the Kibungan mambunong said:
Mo īitauum ay wadaka’s adaway sin būuina, ifūgau, sīa amona aydin ababīikna tinaymana.
If a person dreams that he is far away from his house, he knows that his soul has left him.
The mambunong takes a plate of rice from which tapuy has been fermented and holds it in one hand, while holding a chicken in the other. He turns his face toward the sky and says the following:
Sika ababīikna ——, omalika, mo sinoi inmoyan, sinan būuitaka, tan inayan nanbūui di kakading. Mo itūum īsa matīka, ut ungay adīka mangan sinan ilagbūam.
