Abstract: The cosmogonical section of the Popol Vuh, as interpreted by Francisco Ximénez, suggests a link, by means of the crab, between the first mountain-earth emerging from the water and the one where Sipakna was buried. The characteristics of Sipakna, his brother Kab'raqan and his father, Wukub' Qaquix, indicate that this first earth does not c...

This article is an etnographic report on an ritual (Tovil) performed in the south west of the Island. Short observations follow on the similarities and of the Tovil. The discussion mainly deals with three aspects: the person who carries out the trance experience; the offerts to the demons and the transvestitism element recorded in the two rituals.
The article proposes to render explicit the meanings conferred, by the Igloolik culture, to two "divinities" one male and the other female, and to put forward at the same time the question of the roles carried out by the two sexes in the worldly reality.
