The paper is dealing with the ritual of "rusalje as a manifestation of a spirit possession phenomena. It is argued that for the categories of oppressed and
deprived people this ritual represents the channel to exert mystical pressure
upon their superiors, but also one of the few channels available to them for

becomes the channel for making special kind of career becoming the ritual
official in the community.
