Shoul Khymat Dancers
Most relevant translation of Shuol Khymat term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)
Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated in Ancient Kuzhebar twice a year at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.

In Ancient Kuzhebar, people didn’t separated ghosts in good and bad ones, but in eatable and not eatable ones. Kuzhebar people believed that when you eat a ghost you create a symbiosis with it. Through this symbiosis the human beeing and the ghost go their evolution ways and support each other.
Moreover, there were special musical rituals for eating ghosts by using a special wind musical instrument called "ghost catcher".Click here to watch a video with similar kind of ghost catcher (reconstructed, developed and played by Nadishana)

pyrography on wood, 2010
The Kuzheshu-Fish was often honoured with special songs in Ancient Kuzhebar. When somebody wanted to know something about relatives or friends who were far away, he sang a question-song to Kuzheshu.
Kuzheshu-Fish knew everything what had even happen under or above the earth. It lived in water and all secrets and mysteries, which were kept in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, in ground waters and waterfalls, in rain, fog, steam and even in tears of humans and animals were for it easy accessible.

Flute decoration consists of fertility symbols and symbols connected with the ritual of Kuzhebar people called Shuol Khymat.
Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated twice a year – at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it’s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.
Most relevant translation of “Shuol Khymat” term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)
Unfortunately the complete ritual is lost, but we had used some elements of it which are still extant. Normally the ritual had to take place in a very sunny day. It was accompanied by playing on overtone flute and by special movements. Ancient kuzhebar people believed that flute sounds in combination with special dance help to capture the solar energy in a most efficient way.
