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
