Bobohizan
A Bobohizan or ''Bobolian'' is a high priestess or a spirit medium in Kadazan-Dusun pagan rites.
One of the primary roles of a Bobohizan is to appease the rice spirit Bambaazon during harvest festival or Kaamatan. During the event, she will lead a procession of people from her village through the paddy field under the full moon, to give thanks and to seek a bountiful harvest for the rice-cultivating Kadazan-Dusun people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Last of the Shamans, The star, 6 June 2009 )〕 A (Bobohizan ) also plays a role as a mediator between the spirits and the people. One of the commonest duties of a Bobohizan is to heal and cure illnesses with herbal remedies and rites.
==Origin==
Bobohizan is said to stem from the first ancestors of the Kadazan-Dusun people, ''Kingaan'' and his wife ''Suminundu''. Long after their passing to ''Hibabou'' (Heaven), the rites, prayers, and incantations (''Rinait'' or ''Inaait'') were lost and forgotten. This is when ''Suminundu'' sent a spirit to earth to teach the people about the ''rinait''. The spirit came every evening, calling upon anyone brave enough to learn. The call was repeated for years but no one was brave enough to come forth until one day a brave woman went out and meet the spirit in the dark. She soon learned the art of ''rinait'' and rites from the spirit and passed it on to other women in the village. According to legend, because it was the woman who were brave enough to meet the spirit, all Bobohizan in Penampang was by custom, women only.
