Clan ancestors and female spirits in the Nepalese Himalayas Clan ancestors and female spirits delimit two distinct areas of religious representations among the Tibeto-Burman populations of Nepal. The first relating to bone kinship are connected with ancestral continuity and are venerated by a specialist responsible for village cults. The second, associated with blood (or flesh) kinship, embody ambiguous values ; their priests are shamans, living symbols of otherness. Shifts sometime occur within this general framework. The Magars are notable for a conjunction between shamanism and ancestor worship. On the other hand, among the Limbus, the shaman has been rejected outside the ancestral sphere, his practices evolving towards forms of possession
