In the first half of the 20th century, three cults suddenly spread throughout the southern part of the area inhabited by the Dogon. By the 1980s, they had completely disappeared. They were : two cults of possession against sorcery (juru andiɲa) and a society of « ritual buffoons » (ara-mɔ͂ɲu-nã), which ensured and controlled feminine fertility. Limited in time and space, the diffusion of these three « brotherhoods » can be explained both by their ethnic plurality and by social and political upheaval in the early part of this century
